I might be biased because I live in Minneapolis, but that movie is perfect and I like to pretend that Charlize and Diablo got their second Oscars for it.

He played “Honey”? I share all of your feelings so deftly expressed here.

My mom is a union nurse in a rather union-friendly state, unlike our neighbors just the east of us. With hospitals becoming run like corporations, it feels like she and my nurse friends have to go through this shit every year. Last time they were negotiating, she said the biggest thing the nurses at her hospital were…

Oooh, I *think* there’s a best of Tina Fey WU on YouTube or Dailymotion and it’s buried in one of those.

There was a school in rural Minnesota that was dumping kids’ meals in the trash and giving them sack lunches when their accounts went negative. The more affluent parents were appalled and I think tried to start a similar program or at least change the policy. I would love if this program could eventually go statewide.

It made me wonder if Joe Pesci was watching. His speech when winning for Goodfellas: “It was an honor and a privilige. Thank you.”

The only other reason I can think of is that Glen Keane, the co-winner, has been in the business forever and did the original character designs in the ‘90s heydey (Aladdin, Lion King).

I still remember Tina Fey, on Weekend Update, being so livid at Pamela Mackey “accidentally” using the victim’s name that she did a joke where she said Mackey’s name repeatedly and gave out her law firm’s name and phone number.

Yes!

I got diagnosed with Influenza B on Valentine’s Day. I went to a minute clinic and the guy was like “Well, I doubt you have the flu, but if you INSIST on getting tested...” and lo and behold, I had it! And then the pharm tech was like, “You’re 32? When I was 3o I had the worst flu of my life! I thought I was gonna…

“The Hollywood Reporter” posted a fascinating oral history of the moment this week. Obviously Warren wasn’t the victim in the way the “Moonlight” people were (Barry Jenkins has said it really screwed with his head, that nothing is real), but he *really* took any criticism hard and refused to give anyone the envelopes…

If she has a stylist, he or she must the best in the biz right now.

Right? I am indoors-y af but I feel like buying a tent.

I was looking into Section 42 housing yesterday. To qualify for a certain unit as a certain price, a single person can make no more than ...

I have never been to Sacramento, but I knew that “Lady Bird” would be special when it opened with a Joan Didion quote.

Michelle owned the first half of that movie to the point that in my heart it is really called michelle!

Truth. It was an intelligent arts-y film and wasn’t meant to be seen as anything else. I don’t mean that in a snobby way to those who hated it and gave it a CinemaScore F — if *all* I knew about it was previews + movie stars, I may have done the same.

Kinda sorta, but “mother!” was really an allegory where Javier Bardem is a vengeful God, Jennifer Lawrence is Mother Earth, Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer are Adam and Eve, everyone else being an asshole is Man, that kind of super fun stuff.

People hated it because it was marketed as a horror film, and Aranofsky wanted people to go in blind. To Lawrence’s credit, she disagreed with him on that. I went in knowing just enough so that I could admire it (also, Michelle Pfeiffer was EVERYTHING).

And not a moment too soon.
