In our view, an extreme disappointment: On this, the very day we saw it, the film in question received a string of major Oscar nominations:
Best Picture: A Complete Unknown
Best Director: James Mangold
Best Actor: Timothée Chalamet
Best Supporting Actress: Monica Barbaro
Best Supporting Actor: Edward Norton
Best Adapted Screenplay: James Mangold and Jay Cocks
Best Director is especially striking. As many people have noted by now, the Academy dispenses ten nominations for Best Picture, only five for Best Director.
We were prepared to be surprised. But the film struck us as what you might call a highly instructive disaster.
Others will disagree with our view. We thought the film was cosmically poor, but a bit of a sign of the times.
"Sorry, Odetta," one character says during the semi-brawl at Newport.
"Sorry, Odetta," the character says. We sighed and we covered our eyes.
Others will disagree with our view. At some point, we'll try to explain.
I thought the film was a disappointment too, but I'll bet our reasons are different.
ReplyDeleteBob, trust us. We don't care.
ReplyDeleteEdward Norton deserved his supporting actor nomination, in my opinion. He is a lot like Pete Seeger without giving the impression that he is only imitating him. His portrayal seems authentic and a fully realized character.
ReplyDeleteI love David because he’s cognitive; I love Cecelia because she’s beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI’m both.
DeleteSo is he. I’m not listing all your strengths, I’m just saying why I love you.
DeleteShe is also fluent in ASL (sign language for the deaf).
DeleteIf true, that’s a splendid achievement.
DeleteAnonymouse 6:45pm is proficient in sign language for the blind.
DeleteHa ha ha ha, people with disabilities are so funny.
DeleteAnonymouse 8:13pm, no, you’re not.
DeleteYou are digging your lack-of-empathy hole deeper.
DeleteI don’t empathize with anonymices. I feel sorry for you.
Deleteyeah, we've been playing the sympathy card
DeleteBob gave up trying to find a reason, other than bigotry, to vote for Trump.
DeleteSmart, time saving move on Bob's part.
A man nominated for best actress. Hilarious!
ReplyDelete"The film follows Manitas Del Monte, a drug lord who undergoes gender-affirming surgery to become Emilia Pérez, subsequently faking her own death and attempting to reconnect with her family."
DeleteWhy is it funny that a transwoman in real life would play the role of a transwoman in a film, so well that she was nominated for an oscar? Maybe you should watch the film before deciding how funny you think the nomination was.
Peter Dinklage always plays the roles of short men, after all, and he has received 91 award nominations in his career.
DeleteBeing hairy and having broad shoulders doesn't seem like as much of an advantage in playing women's roles, as it is in tennis.
DeleteThere is no such thing as a "transwoman." Obviously it is hilarious to nominate a man for a woman's category.
DeleteWhy is it hilarious when she did a good job playing the role?
DeleteBecause he is a man in a woman's category. Men aren't women.
DeleteWho should play the role of a transwoman then, a man or a woman?
DeleteAnd why is it funny?
Delete"Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) reportedly summoned law enforcement on Thursday over "a guy" who entered a women's restroom in the Capitol — that turned out to be a false alarm.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Bloomberg News congressional reporter Billy House, "Rep. Lauren Boebert bursting out of the House Women's restroom during this afternoon's vote series, complaining to security personnel stationed in the nearby Speakers Lobby of 'a guy' inside the bathroom."
House monitored who exited the bathroom after the spectacle, but all appeared to be women." [Rawstory]
Boebert later acknowledged that she had been mistaken.
I'm so proud of my state's elected House Member, doing her job as well as she can for the people of CO. If there had been a man in the ladie's room, she would have made sure everyone knew about it, and that is so important to the functioning of our government. /sarcasm off
Women don't want men in their public bathrooms.
DeleteThere wasn’t one. Boebert apparently can’t tell the difference.
DeleteRepublican voters don't care about inflation.
DeleteSurprised she didn’t act like Trump, or like she was at the theater, and grabed some crotch to see what is up in there.
DeleteFBI Knew Hunter Biden Laptop Was 100% Real
ReplyDeleteJanuary 23, 2025 at 9:05 pm EST By Taegan Goddard
The FBI met with social media platforms over 30 times in 2020 to "prebunk" allegations about the Hunter Biden laptop story. even though they knew the laptop was 100% real in late 2019. Facebook and Twitter were forced to censor the story after dirty Feds withheld what they really knew from the platforms. The FBI warned multiple times that a "hack-and-leak" story involving Hunter Biden was set to drop in October 2020. Google did not censor the story because its threat analysis group found no evidence whatsoever of a hack.
Interesting...
DeleteWho was president in 2020?
DeleteDid the FBI mention why Republicans were so obsessed with the size of Hunter Biden's penis?
DeleteWere there words like "jealousy" or "envy" discovered in the area?

(cont.)
Government officials, including those from the FBI, communicated with social media platforms to censor posts related to the Hunter Biden laptop story. The laptop contained documents showing Hunter Biden’s business dealings and involvement with foreign companies such as a Ukrainian energy firm and companies in China which raked in over 20 million dollars during the exact time his father was Vice President. The Supreme Court found there was not sufficient evidence to prove that the FBI's insistence of flagging stories about the laptop amounted to coercion because the people suing couldn't show how they were personally harmed.
This reminds me of the good old days when TDH started and all the republicans could talk about was Clinton's cock.
DeleteHunter was delivering legitimate services to the foreign oligarchs in exchange for those tens of millions he received.
DeleteHave you purchased any trump meme coins yet? Eric Trump is a fucking business whiz kid. Ivanka Trump invented a voting machine and got it copyrighted in China. Orange Chickenshit owes New York City about a cool $1 Billion for cheating in his business.
Delete9:06,
DeleteCope.
When you are concerned about Jared having his 999 building bailed out with a billion from Qatar, and KSA and UAE handing him another $2.3 billion while acting as the convicted felons Mid East Peace dude, and subsequently laundering money to the felon thru a eastern European high rise, I might give more than two shits about Hunter Biden's massive penis, you weirdos.
