Shailene is, uh, a “free spirit” and takes a lot of mockery for her personal views/life choices, but many people (myself included) think she’s an excellent actress.

Hitchcock’s The Birds is a prime example.

I know. If Will had stayed in his seat and loudly said “Not cool, man, my wife has a medical condition!” he probably would have received a round of applause.

I think the insanity was more about the (extremely formal) circumstances/venue. If Will had been drinking in a bar somewhere and a guy mocked his wife’s appearance, and Will hauled off and smacked him, that would practically be considered business as usual.

It means he can no longer cast votes on who gets nominated for acting Oscars, or vote on who wins Oscars in any category. It means he loses the “prestige” of being an Academy member. But he could still (in theory) be nominated for/win for future performances, he can still attend future Oscar shows (although he might…

Hell no, I take Uber in Los Angeles! I don’t deserve Ted Fucking Cruz as my driver.

Nicolas Cage named his son Kal-El back in 2005.

I only saw it because it received 2 Oscar nominations. Wouldn’t have a clue what Jesse James’s killer’s name was otherwise!

That’s probably why they titled the 2007 film The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. :)

Yes, exactly! Years ago I was attending a double feature of Oscar-nominated films, and during the intermission someone near me wondered out loud “What’s the second movie tonight?” I replied “Oh, it’s the one where Meryl Streep is dying of cancer.” (One True Thing.) He got really mad at me for “spoiling” it for him.…

But only if you’re white.

Really bad backsplash.

YES. As someone who has played in a hayloft as a child, that stuff is *sharp.* Pokes you everywhere.

If someone is really crushing hard on a celebrity, it seems like spelling the celebrity’s name right is the least you can do...

They figured they could wait, seeing as how Paul never ages.

That was fun, thank you :)
