I’ve been a fan of Sandra Oh since “Double Happiness” waaaaaay back in the day - it was a minor revelation to see a woman who looked like me in a leading role that didn’t have an accent. Nice to see her getting some overdue props.

“As part of her aerospace engineering major, the recently awarded SEC Scholar Athlete of the Year is currently in the second semester of a design class called LVD or Launch Vehicle Design where the main project is to construct a rocket.

She has a job lined up as an aeronautical engineer when she graduates this spring. I’d say her career hasn’t begun yet. Oh, except the job’s with Boeing...

As someone who’s allergic to mosquito bites and a number of commercial repellents, this both pleases me (hooray for an alternative to topical applications that give me burning rashes!) and distresses me (wait I have to listen to Skrillex?).
KINJA’ed and edited and fixed. TAKE THAT CAPTAIN SPLENDID TAKE THAT ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK
...because becoming a celebrity animal in a German zoo worked out so well for Knut?
In my neck of the woods those were Wig Wags and yes, the Curly Wurly is a decent substitute, if substatially less... substantial.
I’m in Canada and Whatchamacallits haven’t been available for 30+ years. However, my friends who travel to the US often know me well enough to bring me back a half-dozen or so when they run across them. God bless those saints.
And hot. And also demonstrated some comic chops.
In this case, I’m kind of glad it was a video, if only so I could hear him slip in and out of voices and accents like nothing. Also in “The Death of Stalin” I thought he bore more than a passing resemblance to Christopher Plummer in “The Sound of Music” (ie was terribly hot in a vintage-style army uniform).
I agree that it loses some of the pulsing forward energy of the original, but I’m impressed how much of the original arrangement is there. And they wisely kept it short.
Yeah, I’m surprised at the vitriol for an episode that’s a bit on the fluffy side. I thought it was fine, I liked/related to the lost childhood aspect but I’m in my mid-40s and still desperately clinging to the voices of my stuffed animals in my head.
FYI fellow Canadian consumer of frozen chicken products: there was just a major recall of Jane’s pub-style chicken nuggets.
I watched the clip you embedded (it didn’t load initially) and yeah, you’re definitely right. The egregious editing from the scene where Queen meets Reid stuck in my craw since seeing it in the theatre and was what I remembered, and it was kind of a relief to have *some* justification for the Oscar win.
Given his “decent enough” to “pretty good” past work in editing Singer’s movies, and especially in light of the quote I cited below, where before I wondered what film school intern accidentally erased the “good” footage, I now wonder how bad/limited/usable the footage he had to work with actually was.
“John saved this film from being a complete and utter mess, which in the hands of a lesser talented editor it would probably have been...”
This is an aspect I hadn’t thought of, that the win was partly influenced by everyone knowing the gong show history of the production. I’d thought it would be based solely on what…
Too young to remember the Vanessa Williams Ms. America brouhaha/scandal?
