Probably, but let’s keep in mind that just because something is true doesn’t mean it needs to be said.

“First of all, did Edebiri really have to apologize for this?”

“Old school” in the sense that The Marvels is a by-the-numbers MCU movie that we’ve all seen twenty times already?

I’ve become a “fencestraddler” after being a pretty big fan through Endgame. Nowadays I just watch while I’m on my bike trainer or treadmill and just need something to help pass the time, but I still feel like watching Marvel is a waste of time. There’s tons of better movies and TV shows out there.

Danger! Very essiting!

Western too!

“Think about that: The most Grammys; never won Album Of The Year. That doesn’t work”

Remember when Jay Z and Beyonce sued a family catering business out of existence for being named “Blue Ivy”, a name that pre-existed their attempt to force another nepo baby into public media?

And the number one most surprising winner in Grammy history? You guessed it! Frank Stallone.

You’re wrong. If anything, it’s not positive ENOUGH about Spears. The fact that Christians, Muslims, and Buddhists worship deities other than Spears is a travesty. We are but worms, unfit to gaze upon her. The movie Crossroads should have won all the awards, not just in the year it came out, but in every year since…

Robbie’s Barbie was, for the most part, the straight-woman, setting up Gosling and to a lesser extent Ferrera, who get the big, broad and/or meaty stuff. Her Barbie doesn’t really get any big performative moments — in a different movie, the monologue about women’s expectations would’ve gone to her, not America…

But what about Buffy Sainte-Marie?

This doesn’t make much sense. The point of the movie is that Ken was being overlooked.

It looked boring to me so I skipped it. It looks like a Bradley Cooper vanity project, Oscar bait, legitimacy fodder because he finally had enough clout to get a project made to fit his ego. 

I’d argue they’re only huge snubs if some other nominee didn’t deserve it. That’s one hell of a contest for best director and they have all earned a nomination. Alexander Payne also seems like a snub, but I can’t argue with any of the current choices.

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.

I have an issue with Scorsese turning Ernest Burkhart into the central character because he’s just so damn enamored with DiCaprio yelling and making faces.

Oh I get it, I’m just saying it sounds weird. When you see it written out like that. And are stoned. 

I wonder if there’s a sliding scale of likeness rights — it kind of looks like Harrison Ford, but not exactly like Harrison Ford.

these things are also more about timing and competition than anything. this was a fucking nuclear year for movies.
