“After our team looked for volunteers, one customer refused to leave the aircraft voluntarily”

Aw man, poor Justin. If you know him like Canada does, you can see how fake all these smiles are today. This is not his genuine happy face. What a shitty day for him, having to gladhand all these douchebags for the sake of the nation.

Raspberry cordial or we riot!

I want to believe but idk if I saw enough here to say it looks decent. Anne needs to be awkward, but Anne might be...too awkward. Even for Anne.

That’s not really true. I’m British and absolutely do not use that word with abandon, and neither does anyone else I know! Apparently it is more common in the north of England (I’m from the south) but still not actually common. In the south, to call someone cunt would usually mean that they were truly an awful human…

“Hell or High Water” should have been right up my alley, but I found it unbelievably formulaic. From beginning to end it felt like “Brooklyn guy trying to write about west Texas.”

Agree. I didn’t get white savior from it. I got white man to absorbed in himself/his work to know/care about Katherine being mistreated. He didn’t see to change things out of some sense of gallantry but out of this is affecting my bottom line and I want to beat the Russians.

I just saw him as a typical white man who could see the problems he needed to solve for his work but was wilfully blind to what Katherine as a black woman was going through and HOW EASY THEY WERE FOR HIM TO SOLVE. When he peeled the label off the coffee pot I didn’t laugh or feel relieved, I just felt angry on her…

I went in expecting a lot more because everybody was raving about how it was M. Night Shyamalan’s comeback. I was disappointed. It was okay, sure. But it wasn’t worthy of comeback status for me. And the last ten minutes or so were bullshit, honestly. My favorite part of the entire movie was the quick little scene…

Add me to your anecdotal list, plus all my anecdotal friends, who were just “okay” on this film. Possibly suffered from overhype? Parts of it I found charming and Emma Stone was certainly winsome and will no doubt win her Oscar because momentum seems to be going that way, but I was far more moved by Amy Adams in…

See Moonlight. It’s excellent. It took me forever to see it, partly because it was sold out a few times I tried, but it was worth the wait.

See Lion, if only for Sunny Pawars performance. He was riveting and it was just a fascinating story overall. And Dev Patel is beautiful eye candy, and does a good job as well. Out of the nominees I’ve seen it was one of the better ones I think. Arrival is on my list for this weekend, should I prepare to weep?

It’s probably melodramatic at times and it’s definitely a tearjerker, I cried like five times, but compared to other similar based-on-a-true-story biopics I thought it did a pretty good job of avoiding being nakedly exploitative. It relies heavily on wonderful performances by Dev Patel and Sunny Pawar, who is easily…

I just saw this on Sunday and afterward assumed that Taraji P. Henson received an Academy Award nomination for her performance. BUT SHE DID NOT. What madness is this? I’ve seen La La Land twice and really liked it, but Emma Stone’s performance wasn’t particularly outstanding. Taraji acted circles around her.…

I loved individual elements of La La Land — the art direction and cinematography were truly glorious and I thought Emma Stone was surprisingly good — but overall I felt lukewarm about it too. So far the only other Oscar contenders I’ve seen are Moonlight and Lion, both of which are far and away superior films to La La…

I thought La La Land was fine. Not Oscar winner material though. If it wins - in any category - and Hidden Figures doesn’t, I will be holding that grudge just like I still hold Cate Blanchett getting screwed out of her Oscar for Elizabeth. Gwyneth Paltrow was fine, but Cate Blanchett was fantastic.

Yeeess, like the way the Claire Danes and Leo DiCaprio version of Romeo and Juliet is now practically.mandatory when studying the play!

Well duh. The only people IRL that I know who liked La La Land are the wannabe namaste yoga girls who sell advertising for a living. I love musicals, love Emma Stone, love Ryan Gosling, and I thought it was so boring.

I took my daughter to the movies this weekend to see Split because she’s weird and I’m weird and we like thriller stuff. She had mentioned wanting to see it, so that’s what I chose. Then, as the lights are going down, a quick advert came on for Hidden Figures and she whispers to me “Mom I reeeeeeeally wanna see that…

La La Land is a perfectly fine movie.
