I didn't say they wouldn't know what KKK meant. I'm sure every single one of them would in a sentence related to them.
Well the guy who put it up certainly didn't.
I didn't say WWII. I said the Holocaust.
Well obviously not, as it didn't ping the radar of people in Hull.
I was about to say, that's been around for ages!
First off the script was a bit wonky. And Bradley Cooper was already doing a bit too much. So you really needed a strong actress to ground it but still give life and color to that part. And she didn't, she was still too green. It also didn't help that her part was clearly written for an older actress. I think Amy…
12 Years a Slave was one of the best movies I've ever seen. Selma was choppy and didn't allow me to emotionally connect with anything in the film. I was consistently yearning for more. I felt like the director didn't want to leave any historical personality out but in bringing in all these characters she lost the…
I think it is good they took it down and apologized, but it should be OK now. After all, I'm still waiting for the people outside of Germany using SS as an abbreviation to apologize for thoughtless use of letters... And I'm sure there are a few other countries that could think of something to get upset about.
They think it's gone because, as I said, they haven't made international headlines in a very long time.
For me, it was the year they chose "Shakespeare in Love" for Best Picture and Gwyneth Paltrow as Best Actress that broke my belief that the Academy was about quality.
Methinks that the while the average Brit knows about the Klu Klux Klan, I doubt that "KKK" automatically evokes them to the same degree.
Selma is competing for Best Picture - there's really not much else to bring up but whether or not she thinks it holds up as art, as history, etc. With individuals, there is more leeway to bring in other elements, including career achievements, what she knows of the actors offscreen, etc. If DuVernay were nominated as…
Haha I'm imagining like Sheryl Sandberg being introduced by Zach Efron and she pulls him out on stage and is like "OMG I injured my clit masturbating to you in 17 again, wore that sucker right out!"
Jane Fonda looks this good because she has great genetics, eats right, drinks a lot of water, exercises a lot, and seems to have finally come to a peaceful, contented place in her life.
VERY IMPORTANT
The key is little bits over and over again. Things looked botched when you try to do it all at one time and fix it in one fail swoop. You have to touch yourself up over the years. She has the same plastic surgeon as people like Diane Sawyer. Never too severe but just looking goddamn refreshed.
Jane Fonda is a damn good actress.
"I'll smoke pot every now and then. I cannot see a movie on pot. The number of movies I've seen thinking, This is probably the best I have ever seen, and then I'll see it again sober and think, What was I thinking?"
