Oh she’s definitely not a baby queen, and she can perform like a motherfucker. Polish will be here issue, but it didn’t stop Jinkx, Bob, or Sharon from winning, so if the judges like her they’ll give it a pass.

I’m team Yvie all the way, she’s Laila meets Naomi meets Sharon, and I’m always here for the weirder queens. Silky, however, is going to be the personality that carries the season.

I’m also looking forward to Nina, Brooke, Mercedes, and Shuga (she had by far the worst promo look in a season that had few good ones, but…

I didn’t like Monique’s runway but I didn’t despise it. And she was great in the challenge. If they’d done a bottom 3, I’d maybe put her there by default, but not bottom 2 for sure

Monet was robbed of a top 2 placement. “You look amazing, your club was the most fun, we didn’t want to leave, you and Monique had great chemistry, you were hilarious -- you’re safe.” The hell is that...

Ethan Hawke for First Reformed (which I’m convinced was harmed by coming out as early in the year as it did, otherwise I think it would have had a shot at 2-3 major nominations) and Eighth Grade for original screenplay are both disappointing snubs.

Yeah where did that mix-up even come from, just a random incorrect attribution

Naomi’s Prince homage was cute. But it does not compare to Monet’s evil gay pope getup.

Rachel Bloom would have been too obscure and good of a choice, so the Academy would never go for that

Yeah I’ve heard they’re going for the same mix on the next season of BoJack

You’re right on both counts -- her unknown status and the character being barely a secondary character, more of a tertiary one, means she shouldn’t have been the focus. Regardless of why, that film still didn’t give her the chance to fully spread her wings like I want to see, was my point. She’s super talented and…

Fuck am I ready to have Lupita be the lead of a big movie like this. I feel like everything I’ve seen her in, she’s too under-utilized (12 Years, Star Wars) or too reserved (she was cool in Black Panther but Nakia wasn’t really developed).

Jordan Peele’s next horror film should be about whatever Spacey is up to all alone in some mansion. A good creepy touch would be speakers in various rooms playing voices so he feels like he has company.

“Well-tailored” feels generous to Spacey

That... is genuinely surprising, goddamn.

Solid list, with a good mix of stuff I’d want to see on these lists (Beach House, Mitski, Janelle Monae, Neko Case, Spiritualized, Yves Tumor) and stuff I should apparently check out more.

If it was a woman, I imagine a significant (not necessarily majority) portion of people would find it sexist for projecting a female world leader into a sexual situation with a (boorish pig of a) male world leader. So, if you consider the people who get uncomfortable seeing some of the few female world leaders reduced…

Because we as queer people have been through this a million times before, we know what this is and what it’s doing because it’s not new. It’s trying to insult and embarrass a person by connecting them to the homosexual acts. People latch onto it for the same reason they enjoyed the naked statue of him -- it demeans…

The meme is as much about trying to emasculate/insult Trump by showing him be physical with a guy as it is about Trump’s particular subservience to Putin. It’s not delusional or simple-minded to understand that it’s doing both of those things. Turns out political images can have more than one meaning in what they…

There was word around a decade ago that DiCaprio was working on a HH Holmes project, but nothing has come of it

Yeah wow, they really missed the boat on this one. I was confused, like “when did Rosie Perez pull out of the role?”
