The Golden Globe nominations have been announced for the 2020 ceremony. The Globes are somehow the second most popular film awards ceremony of the year next to the Oscars, despite the fact that they’re largely kind of a joke. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s reputation is far from pristine, and sweeping nominations for movies likeThe Touristplay into the notion that they mostly just care about celebrities. Regardless, the show itself is super fun to watch, and the speeches given by those onstagecanboost a film or actor’s visibility in the run-up to the Oscars....

WithJurassic World: Fallen Kingdomnow available on Blu-ray, I recently got on the phone with directorJ.A. Bayonafor an extended wide-ranging interview about the making of the film. Unlikeour interview at the junketwhere we had just a few minutes to talk, this time I had almost an hour with him and we went into extreme detail about the making of the sequel. Since the interview was so long and covered so many subjects, I decided to break it up into two parts....

Update: Previously I reported that Logan would have a post-credits scene. After talking with more sources I’ve learned I was wrong in my original report. Logan does not have a post-credits scene. I’ve never been so happy to be wrong. After you see Logan you’ll understand why a post-credits scene would feel out of place based on the tone of the picture. However, after doing some digging I’ve learned I wasn’t altogether wrong about Logan having something cool for the fans....
