I remember he did a guest spot on Frasier at the height of his fame, and it annoyed the hell out of me, because Frasier acted as if he was some sort of colleague whom he had met at “conferences.” Frasier Crane, M.D. Ph.D., the Harvard/Oxford-educated certified psychiatrist considered “Dr.” Phil a colleague. There’s no…

I’m mildly interested in who wins - in the same way that its nice to see talent recognized and see good things happen to good people (Olivia Colman, Bong Joon-Ho, etc). I’ll read the results the next morning (on this website).

I think there’s a lot of nostalgia for old Hollywood glamour that the Oscars used to showcase, and by “old Hollywood”, I’m thinking of as recently as the 1990s. People want big couples and people like Jack Nicholson and Julia Roberts posing on the red carpet. I feel like there’s less of that, and maybe that’s not a…

2008: Everyone gets real excited for the Futurama DVD movies

Yeah, I found it pretty gripping, but I also agree the basic subject matter does not seem particularly groundbreaking. It just made me feel everything so particularly, including the double standards for mothers and fathers, which are seen repeating themselves with the younger couple in the “present” timeline. Kinda…

Oh, Vice definitely said something. It said it loudly, repeatedly, almost unceasingly.

It was very well done, though. Jessie Buckley’s scenes with her children in particular brought back my own former-parent-of-young-children PTSD. Call it the Saving Private Ryan of parenthood.

It’s like the Sally Field movie, but opposite!

YEP. This.

Olivia Coleman is great, but I hated Lost Daughter. It’s 2 hours of telling the audience that she hates being a mother. 

Being The Ricardos (Prime Video)

at least meryl streep wasn’t nominated for her acting

Javier Bardem really transformed himself into Javier Bardem in old timey clothes. Masterful performance.

A lot of prognosticators had Being the Ricardos tabbed as a Best Picture nominee. So the fact that it only got acting noms seems like a small mercy.

all i wanted was garfield for tick tick boom as i got it. hoping drive my car gets some wins!

Don’t Look Up being nominated for anything is criminal

Better than I expected for sure. Drive My Car and Nightmare Alley getting in there over Being the Ricardos and tick, tick...BOOM! is a win.

I remember finding the Tommy and Tuppence books to be very snappy and enjoyed seeing them age up over the decades. When I eventually reread them, I hope they hold up.

As a middle-aged Scotsman who grew up watching their comedy, I am unexpectedly excited at the thought of French & Saunders being reunited on the big screen. Low wattage? Pish!

There are a lot of wonderful, well known, actors who I love in that film, but by my reckoning the only true “Movie Star” was Johnny Depp. Likewise, this film is full of familiar faces, anchored by one “Movie Star” (Gadot). Personally, I’d bet that at the moment Gadot is a bigger audience draw than Depp.
