I care. I'll be watching.

Everything everywhere all together at once was incredible and should win a ton of awards.

I watched Triangle of Sadness last night, what a fuggin crazy movie.

Top Gun was great, All is quiet on the western front is a good war movie.

Haven't seen the rest tbh.

The telecast is just too darn long.  There's no reason for them to joke every year about the length of the program. 

25 awards? 

  • Each speech is a minute, we're looking at 30m just for this.
  • The category/nominee list? If they can keep this to 90s total then that's about 45m.

Throw in some fluffy other material, and you're at a solid 90m by itself. Let's add 4 minutes of commercials every half-hour, and you're basically hitting the two hour mark.

There's no reason this needs to stretch more than 30m over that timeframe. No reason for the Oscars show to last longer than an NFL football game.

On the plus side, they let most of the recipients actually give reasonable speeches without playing them off this year.

Was able to watch the entire Oscars starting at 8p, pause it to watch the LAST OF US. Pause again to track down and watch one of the nominated Shorts -- and STILL catch up enough to watch the final four awards be given out live.

The wife and I watched The Whale last night.  Haven’t seen a movie that disturbed me quite like that in a while.  Definitely unforgettable.  Very, very tough watch though.  Fraser is incredible in this movie

Darren Aronofsky.

Requiem for a Dream still haunts mine...

 

"ASS TO ASS!!!1!"

You might find this crazy but I watched Requiem for a Dream last weekend for the first time.  I had no idea any connections at all.  I thought it was ok…but definitely interesting.  I must be used to disturbing movies cuz it was just meh.  The final scene with the girls bothers me mostly because of the jackel people in this world.  That can’t be fun to watch

I just found it super depressing, which was the point I guess. Watching the girl from Labyrinth, who I had a huge crush on as a kid, sucking dick and doing live sex shows to score drugs for herself and her loser boyfriend was just a huge bummer, haha.

    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.  
    • Should definitely look to trade him in the offseason. Some team will fork over draft picks thinking they can turn his career around, especially considering what happened to Mayfield and Darnold after they left here. I think a lot of people will be surprised at how high of a pick he would fetch too. There's a dozen guys you could bring in to match (or exceed) Bryce's production for 1/10th of what his 5th year option is going to cost. Let some other dumb team pay that (and ship us draft picks for the privilege). Dump Dalton too while you're at it, start the QB room over from scratch.
