I will say in defense of OP that when I hadn’t seen the film I thought it was a gay romance film that I was very excited about it because there are not many truly incredible gay films, and when I read that Guadagnino would not have Elio be gay in the proposed sequel I was angry and saddened that Guadagnino would…

The character of Elio isn’t under age, he is 17, and the worldwide average is 16. The grown man, Oliver, is revealed to have had a on-and-off relationship with a woman prior to being with Elio, and they rekindled once Oliver returned home to America.Both of the men are explicitly bisexual and the film doesn’t shy away…

Anyone ever read John Hughes’ original Vacation story? If you thought the movie’s ghetto scene was racist...

Count your blessings. You see, he’s a white rapper, who used to have a little person on stage with him. He acts all hip-hop, but he can also act all redneck! So, basically, he’s like Mozart.

I can’t believe Stuhlbarg and Hammer didn’t get nominated. Also partially because I really DON’T want Sam Rockwell to win for this role again. I love Rockwell, but “racist asshole cop” isn’t the hardest or most subtle role.

Okja is an interesting thought - is streaming-only stuff actually valid for nomination yet? I seem to recall there was some sort of issue around that?

FWIW, I absolutely loved BR, and thought the slow pace worked really well because it felt like it could breathe properly. Had no real qualms with the script either, tbh.…

It was a good, solid movie. It was not an Oscar contender.

I may get roasted for this, but I wonder if Wonder Woman’s absence is because it is merely an okay film. I was very excited when it was released because it was, at last, a good DC movie. But months later, I am coming up short on standout points that stuck with me.

There is no way some maniac of a youtube personality hasn’t tried burning cash and caused some sort of horrific accidental fire by now.

MegaBlastoise already dismissed one of my posts calling him out. He’ll probably dismiss this one. This asshole is a troll who hates women and any men who aren’t white.

Part of me thinks ‘he’s just a kid’ - isn’t he a teenager? He’s so young, I don’t expect people of such a young age to grasp the issues regarding Allen. But on the other hand, he has a huge team of experienced adults to educate and guide him in this industry; I feel that they’re the ones dropping the ball, and are…

I wondered what kind of clause might keep him from talking. This certainly makes more sense.

I think trying my best to raise a good person and then having my kid turn out to be an asshole would be a nightmare.

when he pulled down his first Oscar win as a vengeful frontier tracker in 2015's The Revenant was inexplicably even nominated for the Oscar even though Tom Hardy did all the actual acting and stole that movie

lorddddddddd almighty darren criss is hot as hell. he’s like if you combined max greenfield with chris messina. with maybe just a dash of brendan urie. so, basically, my ideal man.

People like Lauer are manipulative and calculating. He probably did everything to make sure he didn’t pull his sleaze in front of Katie, since she was his superior.

I’m not going to insist Couric is telling the truth, but I think it is relevant to note that, like you said, Couric was one of the few women who had seniority over Lauer. Additionally, when Lauer came on as her co-host, her husband was dying of cancer, and then she was raising two small kids in the aftermath of his…

On the one hand, I think Katie Couric is full of shit. But, also, she was there before Matt Lauer and he came on as her new co-host. I’m sure the power dynamic with her than it was with her replacements. After she left he was undeniably the lead.

Sure, Millie Bobby Brown is not yet 14, but let’s immediately toss her into the slimepit of gossip as it relates to women celebrities. Stay tuned for such prurient classics as: “Is she still a virgin?” “Will she marry him?” “Are they breaking up?” “Has post-breakup Millie become a skank?”... and on and on and on.
