Re: The Andrea Riseborough nomination "controversy"

That's what the Oscar chat is: one big group cringe/eye-gouge.

Never sure want to think about docu-dramas about things I've seen actual documentaries about. Most of the time it ends up feeling weird and unsatisfying to watch, but occasionally it really adds...

My feeling is that this is an old rule, made to maintain (or at least give the appearance of) an extremely civilized process, even if the reality is highly competitive, and that it's selectively...

Re: The Menu (New Movie) Honest Reviews & Comments

If The Menu was just "eat the rich" I wouldn't have liked it as much, since that's a comically trite sentiment. It was good because it was broader than that, mocking elites of all kinds.

It was similar to the reaction I've had to a lot of PTA films, but I felt like it was missing the things that usually would (or could) redeem them for me.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football 2022 - The Season

I'm not a fan of the 49ers at all but man, gutsy team. Lose their top TWO QBs for the year and then go on a huge winning streak, and their defense even kept them in that Eagles game up until nearly...
