Hugh Jackman struggling not to laugh during The Reader segment is never not funny

That was the highlight of the otherwise extremely dull ceremony.

The Billy Crystal opening sequence where he inserted himself in the big movies of the year - it was the year of Return of the King and I remember laughing a lot. It's pretty much my first Oscar memory, so it's stuck with me.

Excuse you. I'm not foaming at the mouth. I'm just a lady sick of seeing "she can't have kids what a tragedy" over and over and over. (And having Jarvis's plot being "oh no my wife can't have kids I'm not going to tell her?" Still gross.)

I interpreted that Lucy/James conversation as Lucy implying that James was in love with Superman and nobody's gonna stop me.

Same, re: Peggy being a cipher - here's hoping she picks neither and moves on. Also upvoted because hell yeah that Follies reference. And now you have me imagining Whitney Frost doing "Ah, But Underneath" because, of, well, her images and Zero Matter.

Good news: the musical number happens in the first five minutes. But if you don't want to deal with that, there's Youtubt! https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I taped this off Turner Classic Movies years and years ago. Glad to see it having a proper release. (As ridiculous as it sounds, the period-discussion scene is why we didn't get this until now)

I…don't trust Rob Marshall. Chicago was *excellent*, Nine was a HUGE disappointment, and Into the Woods was enjoyable enough but, y'know, they didn't even stage the finale? Just shoved it on the credits instead?

Yup. It didn't catch my interest. I heard it gets better, but, eh, not worth the effort. (I get my superhero fix courtesy of the CW/CBS anyway)

I enjoyed the book more than the movie (what's new) and I found the movie enjoyable enough, but it doesn't deserve all these Oscar noms.

I dropped SHIELD after two episodes, so I'm all set on that front.

Fine. Everyone she's thought about having sex with since Steve died. Didn't mean "ever" to get in there. (But yeah, they could have done something with him standing in shadow or something.)

Agreed re: the Patty storyline. I liked her well enough, but there really wasn't much there besides "Barry is scared he'll lose the people he loves" and "Barry tries to be happy by dating Patty, fails." It went on for far too long.

I was sitting in front of my TV like "I didn't have to do jack shit to get in my engineering program??"

I'm so SO sick of women's plots being reduced to OH NO SHE CAN'T HAVE KIDS WHAT A TRAGEDY. I yelled angrily at my screen once I realized what the "complications" obviously were.

Really. Speedsters (well, future speedsters, at least) everywhere. (and I'm still thinking there's a possibility Harry could give himself Velocity because Jesse Quick's dad used her "formula" too. )

I'm thinking it's the writing in this situation.

That's less rumor, more hard fact.

They're not joking.
