I’m with you on Viggo Mortensen. That movie was way better than I expected and his performance had everything to do with that. I’m bummed Annette Bening didn’t get nominated for Twentieth Century Women, because she was fantastic in it - and it was fantastic overall.

She’ll get her posthumous nom for Episode 8.

I thought she sold “inconceivable pain on a variety of fronts” pretty well in those two minutes, though.

I agree - in that I think nominating it for best picture was ridiculous. It was OK, but really kinda dumb, I thought. All that faux-profundity (“faux-fundity”?) seems to have fooled people in the industry anyway.

It could have something to do with the movie being SUPER overrated.

Well, either he didn’t particularly care or he had complicated feelings about his own black features and very much cared and wanted (consciously or not) to cover up all traces of them.

Can we throw in a hearty “fuck Susan Sarandon” while we’re at it? Y’know, because she’s also mentioned above and because she’s a decent avatar for people who think their vote is supposed to be some bespoke expression of their innermost yearnings rather than a blunt instrument for allocating power to those least…

I too was very very confused by this use of that term.

There is nothing that could redeem something that started out with a premise that fucking stupid.

$1.5 million seems really really low for allowing someone’s newborn to get boosted.

Is monarching such a tough job that it doesn’t leave you time to hang out with the wife and grandkids? What exactly do they do day-to-day anyway?

They could certainly use it.

Also, completos.

Where do I donate to the “Wellbutrin in the water supply” fund?

There’s plenty of blame to go around. In other words, yes, fuck those people too.

He could cover Stevie Wonder’s “Uptight” with similar lyrics changes, just to completely shit on everything good in the world.
