Are you not not going to watch the Oscars this year?

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Emma Stone wins best actress over Lily Gladstone in Oscars’ biggest surprise.

Sad

The most annoying part of Past Lives isn't even the story about which insecure, annoying simp she will choose to love--it's the transitions between every scene which are just like shots of stuff in the room with the most boring movie-score-music playing over it. just a waste of time!

1. That's not even close to what the story's about
2. Objects in rooms, evidence of life in living spaces, is indeed a recurring motif; I wonder why they did that? It was probably an accident!
3. The score is one of the highlights

Sit down and think about how in your haste to dismiss this movie you ended up sounding like Bammer writing about international cuisine

Jorge, I'm curious, how did you feel about Skinamarink?

[Jorge]

I haven't seen Skinamarink. To be quite honest, based on the marketing and what I've heard about it I somewhat doubt it's my kinda movie.

[Ms Harmless]

that's fair; I loved it, but some people feel it's just endless stills of walls and doors

Fran Drescher was gorgeous last night.

You love Skinamarink

I watched a bit of the Oscars last night and for the most part it wasn't bad.

I really wish they'd do the full screen for the in memoriam; I had a hard time catching the names of the people who passed.

My favorite part was Ryan Gosling singing "I'm just Ken". I think that was the highlight of the show. Then it loses to the Billie Eilish Barbie song. My finger is not on the pulse of current pop trends, but I felt like the Ken song was a lot more popular this year that the Eilish one.

I'm not the first person to make this observation, but Emma Stone winning over a Native American woman the same year The Curse came out is extremely funny.

really, looks like something they could have wrote for the show

I’ll never watch The Curse so please explain this to me

she all so politely gentrifies a native american neighbourhood whilst trying to befriend everyone and look like a super nice friendly person the whole time

Yeah, what tree said.

Among many other things, the show deals with white liberal guilt, cultural appropriation, and Native land rights. Issues which her character obliviously plays superficial lip-service to.

oh and let's not forget she strives for credit as a revolutionary artist (having had plagiarized another architect's work) while living off her parents' wealth whilst her native american true artist friend struggles to make ends meet

People keep calling American Fiction satirical, but I don't think it is, at least from my experience working with Californian tech, publishing and entertainment people. I work with people who unironically snap instead of clap for Christ's sake. That just how they are.
