I’m still retroactively smarting for the fact that Casino only got one Oscar nomination (Sharon Stone for Best Actress). I just looked up the nominations for Best Picture that Oscar season, and you had Braveheart, Apollo 13, Babe, Il Postino, and Sense and Sensibility.

The last 3 listed are out for me, Apollo 13 was…

Nonsense (Perception of reversed cause and effect... something something - Tenet)

I don’t even know you people. A Ghost is Born is FUCKING AWESOME! I’m not even apologizing for yellin’ or cussin’ either.

Yeah. This scene at the dinner table, when Falk talks about his adventures in “the bush,” is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in my life. Falk is magnificent, but Arkin is every bit as great. My friends and I saw this movie the night it came out. We were screaming over it. “Waving these crudely-fashioned…

Looking at this list, the main thought I have is, “What an underwhelming year for movies.”

What’s it like being a sexist asshat?

How is your arm recovering after it was forcibly broken to make you read and comment on said article?

Er, you know John Oliver isn’t a journalist, right? And yet, a lot of journalists aren’t and haven’t been asking these questions. Sexual harassment is “rude” and “entirely unwelcome,” yet it’s been treated as a big joke by Hollywood for decades.

Nope. Oliver brought up harassment allegations against Hoffman while they were discussing a movie centered around harassment allegations. It’s literally the perfect time to ask Hoffman about them.

When you deny someone redemption, they will deny you. Ask the Catholic church. The holier-than-thou crowd will have very few friends.

Does ‘Wag the Dog’ really need a 20th anniversary retrospective?

I really hope Michael Bay had sex with a horse.
