I thought it was just an honor to be nominated. Why does anyone care about what category its in? Whether it wins or not it made a ton of money and near universal acclaim. Is the opinion of the people who thought Green Book was worthy of best picture all that important?

Pretty sure Oppenheimer will be adapted as it drew mainly from the biography American Prometheus.

Particularly when they go out of their way to give a disclaimer first. 

I don’t really care who hosts Jeopardy, would have been nice if it worked out for Levar Burton, but whatever. I came here for the anti-vax joke, and nothing else. I can now go on with my day. Thank you, good citizen.

Someone didn’t see the trailer for “Bad Dads”

No. He will be played by Ernest Borgnine.

Inflation. Thanks, Biden. 

I’ll allow that. 

Yeah. People talk about him being a hack and I think of those two films ans Snow Angels and I just can’t go there.

Meh, Sarah Palin was worse. 

Mental illness is my guess

After over 10,000 comments here pre Kinja, and I don’t know maybe a hundred post, this is the first time I’ve gotten a “cool” rating.

You’re too kind, but it has definitely been done before, hence the name I temporarily chose! In all honesty it’s more of a self own, I don’t know this person not because they aren’t worthy of knowing, I don’t know them because I’m so very old, and so very tired.
