2017 is just flying by! As we have now wrapped up August and are charging headfirst into the month of September, I wanted to once again put a bow on everything that’s come before the impending fall festival season. That way, it could focus us more clearly on the awards contenders to come, all the while remembering the hopefuls from the parts of 2017 we’ve completed. As such, today I’m putting out my list of the best of the first third of the year so far. Below you’ll see what the first eight months have brought us, including some films seen at festivals as well as early year releases that the precursors will surely forget, sadly. I don’t have any titles that I’m embargoed on right now, so this is as close to an exhaustive look at everything that’s hit screens between January 1st and today as possible.

Through music and misery, we ask the big questions this week. Specifically, Neil Miller and Geoff get philosophical over High Fidelity and debate whether we’re truly defined by what we like (as opposed to what we’re like) when it comes to relationships. Plus, Geoff describes a few ways to get into the TV show-writing business (and a few ways not to). And on our main stage, the stellar Stephen Frears joins us to talk about Philomena and capriciousness, and to offer perhaps the single most important piece of filmmaking advice the show has ever heard. You should follow Neil (@rejects), the show (@brokenprojector), Geoff (@drgmlatulippe) and Scott (@scottmbeggs) on Twitter for more on a daily basis.

Contrary to earlier reports, Mary J. Blige will not take the stage at the highly anticipated tribute concert for Michael Jackson, which is planned to be held at Schoenbrunn Palace in Vienna on date 26 later this month. Confirming the matter is the R 'n' B singer herself who told MTV News on Thursday, September 10, she won't be able to make it to the affair due to scheduling conflict as she will have to fulfill a contractual obligation in Milan on the same day.
"There's a lot going on at the time - I'm really, really sorry that I'm not gonna be able to be there," Blige said in a statement. " 'Cause why wouldn't I want to do a tribute to Michael Jackson?"
Notwithstanding her absence from the planned tribute, Blige has no hesitation to admit that she looks up to the late King of Pop and considers him as one...
