I didn’t know that. Yeesh. Everyone is terrible.

I’d be kind of happy with either of these films winning, except for the Darkest Hour. Sir Winston Churchill deserves a better movie, and Gary Oldman deserves to win for a better role. Hopefully all the WWII nostalgists on the Academy will vote for Dunkirk.

I have to say, since Ravelry took off I haven’t bought a knitting magazine. I always found that you might get one or two decent patterns, and a lot of nonsense. So many shapeless sweaters! So many novelty yarns!

On one hand, Meryl Streep deserved her acting nomination just as much as, say, Gary Oldman in the Churchill movie. So go Meryl!

When I was a kid, my local radio station played “I Can’t Dance” by Phil Collins every single morning for an extended period of time. I’m talking over multiple weeks here. And it’s the worst song ever!

How You Remind Me is a GOOD SONG, DAMMIT.

Even hearing the snippet of music on that video makes me tense. Nazis are coming to KILL US ALL!

I can’t think of another movie where the tension started right off the bat, and didn’t let up until the last couple scenes. And the soundtrack was a big part of that. It’s not music that I would put on after a hard day at the office, but it worked so well in the film.

Dunkirk was also my favourite movie of the year! And I’m kinda bummed that it has zero chance of winning. They should have kept in the scene where Harry Styles makes love to an Amazonian Fish God, I guess.

Friend, this woman here would like to get through One. Facking. Article. without being reminded of the perils of having a vag, please and thanks.

The Olympic coverage around here has been limited to the Russian Rivals narrative and the Americans, so maybe she didn’t realize Osmond existed? That would be surprising, I guess.

Remember his awful Roger Ebert story? He is the worst.

Here’s an idea - kill him off! Go for broke and kill off Teddy Roosevelt, history and the novel be damned.

He... didn’t?

Yes, I know :)

No, he’s right. The Tournament of Hearts has a minimum BAC of .12; the Brier has a minimum of .18.

“She should have stayed home and let William go by himself”. Way to stick it to the patriarchy!

That was my first thought, too. But nope, it’s a suitcase with a usb charger. Like a portable charger, but dumber, because once you reach your destination you have to leave it in the hotel.

I have plenty of sympathy for Uma Thurman, because if it’s true, then it shows that even in this new ‘enlightened’ era women have to be so much more careful then men about how they are perceived. If Uma is pissed at Tarantino, it sucks that she’s not free to let it out.

Well, sure! You can respond however you like. It’s the internet!
