Idea: A shitty, yet inexplicably popular orchestra named Nickelbach

All books: low energy! Books! Believe me!

Get Emmanuel Lubezki on the job!

It also has the same number of Oscars as CITIZEN KANE.

Finally, DC has a new way to keep denying the obvious!

That's part of the appeal of the Oscars for me: The nominees/winners reflect how the Academy felt during that year.

When you complain about the movies that get nominated, your problem is with the *voters*, not the size of the category. Like it or not, the movies that get nominated are the movies they *wanted* to be nominated - and I prefer a vote that genuinely reflects the voters' tastes.

And now I'm randomly picturing a modern-day HAMLET, where The Mousetrap is a movie screening encoded with subliminal messages.

"QUESTION?"

From the NYTimes review of a 1989 production of TWELFTH NIGHT, which featured Michelle Pfeiffer, Gregory Hines, and Jeff Goldblum:

The fact that this wasn't an actual Kermit/Emma Stone crossover, set to "A Lovely Night," is a damn shame.

Was that the one that used a slow/creepy version of "Who Are the People In Your Neighborhood"? :)

"Well, I quit my job so I could work all alone
Then I changed my name to Sherlock Holmes
Followed some clues from my detective bag
And discovered they was red stripes on the American flag!

FALSTAFF:
My king! my Jove! I speak to thee, my heart!

Now I won't have to wait to watch reaction videos/videos that make me feel like I have friends!

I always wanted a Jar-Jar novel: a tragic character like him would have a damn good story to tell, and I thought you could make his dialect more bearable in print.

Honestly, I can't even tell who she's digging on.

They should hire M. Night Shyamalan, of course: it'll stop him from making that Pokemon movie that's a giant metaphor for the Holocaust.

James Nguyen!

A mixed-to-slightly-negative for me: it captures the same sweet tone of THE LEGO MOVIE, which is great - but ultimately, it's just not nearly as funny (save for some laugh-out-loud jokes in the first twenty minutes or so).
