Swo suggested I just repost the 2020 version in full, but looking the newly announced 2021 releases over made me (naively?) hopeful that I'll actually see one or two of these in a theater, so maybe it'll do the same for you!
As always, this is the thread in which you can post your reactions to any film released this year that doesn't already have a thread created for it; if enough posts are made on the same film, a separate group of posters will meet several weeks later and decide if that film will be awarded its own thread (barring recounts or court challenges), at which point a thread will be permitted to exist about a month after that. Please limit yourself to one film per post — even if that means a few consecutive posts after a day-long trip to the multiplex (hahahahahasob) — as the mods have hard enough jobs already without having to try to split your 1,000-word treatise on the Venom sequel and Chris Rock's Saw movie into two different threads.
