The
Visual Effects Bakeoff will take place this year at the usual place
(La Peer and Wilshire) on January 7, 2017 from 5:30 PM - until 10:30
PM.
Whenever
possible, I recommend sitting on an aisle seat so it is easier to
escape between films and chill out in the lobby. This is one
advantage that the non-members have.
The
films are listed below in alphabetical order:
Alice
through the Looking Glass
Arrival
The
BFG
Batman
v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Captain
America: Civil War
Deadpool
Deepwater
Horizon
Doctor
Strange
Fantastic
Beasts and Where to Find Them
Independence
Day: Resurgence
The
Jungle Book
Kubo
and the Two Strings
Miss
Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children
Passengers
Rogue
One
Star
Trek Beyond
Suicide
Squad
Sully
Warcraft
X-Men:
Apocalypse
I
have never really understood the rules here.
I
have no idea what films will be selected, but here are some guesses.
I suspect that Dawn of Justice, Captain America, Dr. Strange, Rogue
One, X-Men and Jungle Book will be selected. I think they nominate 10
films for consideration. Deadpool is interesting and might be
selected. I predict Suicide Squad and Independence Day will not be
nominated.
As
usual, the Academy members are separated from the unwashed masses by
the Academy SS (Screening Service) personnel. If you are not a member
and you wish to hobnob with your elite friends, you need to be there
early. How early is of course anyone's guess but since the US
Government worked so hard to send American jobs overseas in order to
destroy the middle class and elevate and exalt the rich, there has
usually been no problem getting in. I would say about an hour early
is a safe bet, say 4:30 pm.
If
you are going to attend, it is best to wear all black and leave your
sidearms at home, there is no recording, whistling, spitting, or
throwing of items of any sort. Those who are ejected from the theatre
are never seen again.
