Life In Widescreen
The pace of life is unmeasurable. And that’s all there is for a minimalist entry at this thoughtful moment, as I try to negate the insaneness that exists, I strongly believe, within the colourless projections that have come to haunt me in sleeps and siestas. But now, I will do what I normally do, and sincerely not the best of what I do: List down and predict. I predicted and arrived at the conclusion that these predictions will not be better than any of the predictions that I have made before; so here, from the enclave of an untethered mind, I predict before you.

It's a tough Best Picture match ever, between Fincher's & Hooper's masterpiece; one a modernistic portraiture and another set in the late 20s, both based on a true account nonetheless. There is a 20% chance that Aranofsky's Black Swan might emerged as the dark horse in a surprising turn of event. A hunch.
