They’re all made up, of course, because those fucks never even bother saying you can’t fucking have a criminal record and be eligible for DACA.

The episode after the one where the group was holed up somewhere nice and safe, but then met some bad people and had to leave the nice place but not before a battle where a pretty major character died. Then when the group was on the road got split up and one group ran into another group of people that might be good or…
Lorelai going to Christopher made sense. Christopher taking advantage of it was the repulsive part.
This was a major fuck-up, and not funny or amusing at all.
I mean, I don’t blame him. Instead of getting to enjoy the victory properly, he had to witness the La La Land team’s moment in the sun turn to ash and then have to somehow be grateful in the act of ruining their night in front of millions of people at the same time. It was unfair and probably highly uncomfortable for…
No, Do the Right Thing was released in 1989 and was eligible for the 1990 Academy Awards, which was dominated by Driving Miss Daisy... which is actually a lot worse in retrospect.
It’s so weird that it happened that year of all years. It was one of the most politically charged wins of Best Picture in a long time. It’s probably the Best Picture win I’ve been most passionate about in my entire life. And I can totally feel where Jenkins is coming from. I can’t imagine the amount of effort and…
Yeah, I think this would haunt anybody who suffers from “impostor’s syndrome,” and somebody who is as much an outsider as Jenkins would be pretty likely to have these thoughts.
It’s the difference between winning and getting up and saying something while people are listening and having to rush up and try to remember everything you wanted to say while you’re brain is buzzing and you’re surrounded and in front of a bunch of chattering people saying variations on “what the fuck just happened?!”…
Every time I’m reminded that Do The Right Thing didn’t win Best Director and Picture, I’m re-infuriated. It’s a masterwork, and it’s going to be remembered at least as long (and more favorably) than everything else it was up against in 1989 and the 2-3 years around it.
I mean, let’s maybe think issues of being black making a movie about black gay men factor into this and combine to make it pretty easy for him to question how legitimate the Oscars took him and how unfair it is that everyone else who won got to have their moment when he only got a few confused seconds before the…
Although it was an enjoyable moment, I do feel for Barry Jenkins. Moonlight winning (without interruption) should have been a defining moment at the Oscars, now its been reduced to a punchline. I still love that movie and I’m sad its win didn’t have a major effect on the Hollywood awards process.
I don’t think the article suggested that, but also the article should’ve noted that Mamet is one of the worst possible people to write a story like this, and it’s going to be a travesty.
“It was a response to the Clarence Thomas hearings” is one of the worst possible things you could say about Oleanna, and it’s…
But will there be any women in it?
I’m thrilled to hear that noted feminist liberal icon David Mamet is weighing in on the Harvey Weinstein situation. Clearly this will not be a train wreck of any kind.
If you really think about it though, even the most famous actors—Cruise, Affleck, Depp etc., have some serious issues, but are able to hold it together long enough to make movies.
Headline: “Making a Murderer sequel”.
I thought that the writer was trying to pull in how the industry as a whole abuses actors. From the studios who abused his body, to the producers that abused his image for profit (Ratner), to the execs who thought his body was theirs for the taking.
Most of the interview took place while he was filming Getty, so they talk a lot about it, as well as his other recent stuff. It’s a cruel headline but in the actual article they do give him a lot of credit for his smaller work over the last couple of years.
