Perfect.

I too like tearing down beautiful, successful, famous women who will never have sex with me.

Kinda feels like Emma Stone is being demoted for something not at all her fault.

Not that Stone’s being cut out entirely; unlike her male counterpart, she’s still listed as a scheduled presenter, although it’s not clear which category she’ll be gracing with her blessedly non-Casey-Affleck presence.

1939-41 was, in total, a hell of a run of Best Picture nominees. You have ‘39 as mentioned above. Then in 1940 you have “The Philadelphia Story”, “The Great Dictator”, “The Grapes of Wrath”, “Our Town”, “The Letter”. Some bloat with the large field, “Kitty Foyle” has aged pretty horribly, but still. Then you get…

That is such a sad movie. It actually makes you sympathize with a situation that could come across as something irresponsible and emotionally mature. There’s logic and vulnerability there. They both seem like good people. They both have children and love them dearly. Few romances have acted in the way this one has.

I’m waiting for some pop culture website (looking at you, AVC) to create a movie award that celebrates the movies 10 years after the fact. Once you’ve stripped away the hype machine, and look back at what stood the test of time. Did one inspire another generation of film making? Was one utterly forgotten? This year we…

Educating Rita really sparkles as a film - one of my favorite Michael Caine performances.

I must’ve missed that part of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.

I felt like Elaine in Seinfeld watching The English Patient during this episode... “Just die already!!!”

Soylent Green’s The Walking Dead Stray Observations: Korl Gets Saved Off Camera by Eugene Special Edition

It’s all the fault of that book “From the mixed up files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler”...

Not to brag, but I could tell that all of the passengers and terrorists were played by professional actors.

I second that emotion. This is a great movie.

Stoppe þe preſses!

Indeed. Damn is badassery genetic? She was only 50% Roosevelt but that Girl was badass, and hot to boot.

@Nebuly, I am currently in rehearsals as Teddy for a community theater production of “Arsenic and Old Lace,” and I just sent a link to this article to the woman who plays Elaine, since I refer to her as “my daughter Alice” at one point in the play.

You seem to have a cool life. I just started loving our history. The last 3 years I’ve learned to like it. Then I began to appreciate it all. Now, I am in love with our history and all the things, from art to politics and everything in between.

Alice pretty much set the bar for no fucks to give. She had a biting wit and was wonderfully quote-worthy. Here are a few of her better known ones.

She looks like someone who, when she had her mind set, was going to see it through to the end. I have to admit until this article I had very little knowledge about her, and now I want a classy bio-pic made about her.
