You can make the argument Gerwig was up against a tough crowd. (Not saying I will, but it’s there.)

Yeah, all due respect to Oliver Stone, Gerwig made something affecting and of substance, and entertaining, out of a movie about Barbie dolls, which is really pretty impressive. I’m not a hardcore Barbie fan, but I thought it was really great, and it would have been nice for Gerwig to have gotten some recognition. Same…

Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie left out of the Director and Actress categories seem like huge snubs, unless there’s some eligibility thing I’m missing.

Re-release The New Mutants, you cowards!

Well, we’re both wrong. Battle of LA was their last original album, and it came out in 1999.

It is so fucking weird to be on the other end of that span of time where nothing has changed in regard to police brutality, race relations, capitalism, etc.

I feel like people forget (or were just too young to experience) how pretty much all of the best episodes of the X-Files were the standalone episodes. Home. Squeeze & Tooms. Ice. Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose. Jose Chung’s From Outer Space. The Post-Modern Prometheus. Bad Blood.

I completely agree on DH1

Nah she was fine once he let her get a word in edgewise.

so funny that he’s immediately like ‘well he did already do this ages ago with sucker punch, but that overrides my thesis so let’s forget about it’

This reads like you paid your little brother to do your homework.

It was gutsy to have Ncuti act opposite his predecessor, but what surprised me is that he kind of commanded all of his scenes instead of the other way around. He really came in guns blazing. I was impressed. 

Even as a teen in the ‘80s, if it wasn’t “American Woman” it didn’t really get airplay on the ‘classic rock’ stations.  I discovered their other songs in my 20's.

It’s hard to appreciate how transformative the Doors were to the music scene when they appeared, unless you were actually living it. Or so I’ve been told by a few boomers who were there; “Break On Through” was evidently a real “holy shit” moment. I feel like the Doors are a band that was hugely important at the time,…

I like them both.  The Guess Who is one of the great underrated bands, like Three Dog Night.  Both of those groups had a lot of hits.

Oh, I don’t like the Doors. But the Guess Who are damn good.

I agree with movie version Lester Bangs on “The Doors”

Since Robbie was producing, I’d wager she had some say.

Yeah, that really threw me as well. I don’t know how anyone can watch Home Alone and forget this scene, which is a marvelous capsule of the sheer ridiculousness of the movie:

For fuck's sake, no American progressive is supporting Hamas.
