that is, undoubtedly, an amazing story. Rooney Mara didn't need to be there but I understand why they'd put her in otherwise it's a guy playing with google earth for 45 minutes. The child actors in the first half are all excellent. Dev Patel was fine.

After seeing I Am Not Your Negro last night, I suspect Doris Day voted for the OJ documentary.
(IANYN is an essay, really)

Is it a worthwhile essay, though (would like to see it this weekend)?

"I do, though, take pleasure in Huppert having won the Golden Globe, because if she hadn't, then I would have had to spend the entirety of this article contemplating the prospect of Stone losing this award to Natalie Portman's performance in Pablo Larraín's A Muppet Leaves the White House."

"First there's Taylor Sheridan's screenplay for Hell or High Water, which is jaundiced and perhaps overstated but otherwise resembles the cinematic equivalent to those hand-wringing op-eds in the wake of the 2016 election that shamed the left for not reaching across the aisle."
not even gonna start, Eric.

Eric, there is/was but it has an inclusive title and good luck finding it with Search broken.
You started dating again?!

I like the idea of the Oscars thread subbing for the gay thread. I seem to recall the last few attempts never getting off the ground.
― some sad trombone Twilight Zone shit (cryptosicko), Tuesday, 21 February 2017 18:52 (seven years ago) link
I wouldn't call it dating. It was a relationship, and the background/scope of this relationship is so immense that I'm actually crumbling right now. (I have an appointment with my therapist tonight, thankfully; one I'd scheduled before I pulled the plug over the weekend.)

It's still really hitting me hard -- a nine-year story line in my life coming to a crashing close ... This is so not the thread for this.

Awww, Eric. Sorry to hear.

(To reign in the dramatics just a bit, it wasn't a nine-year relationship. Just someone I had a major crush on since I first saw him nine years ago and finally formed a relationship last spring long after settling for friendship.)

In looking up some August Wilson-related stage credits, I discovered I saw Viola Davis in the Broadway production of his Seven Guitars in 1996, just as her film career was starting.

Time for the Hollywood Reporter's anonymous Oscar voter.
* "I hated the German movie [Toni Erdmann] so much because it was so shticky — Germans are not funny! The only part of the whole movie where I laughed was when she couldn't get out of her tight dress and just ripped it off and went around naked. I hear Jack Nicholson is going to be in a remake, and he might make it funny."
* "[Elle's] Isabelle Huppert is an ice-cold actress, and I eliminated her because when you get attacked, beaten and raped, you're not the same person afterward, but she was, and I wanted to slap her to try to get a reaction out of her."
* "I hated Arrival — it just sucked. I didn't like Fences because they just filmed the play — I wanted to see the guy go into the jazz club and play his music, the girl who's having his baby, his kid on the football field. But I think Denzel [Washington, its producer/director/star] decided that every word of the script [by the late August Wilson] was so precious that he wasn't going to "mess" with it, and the movie suffered as a result."
* "I'm ruling out O.J. [Made in America] even though I still have an hour of it left to watch — maybe for younger people this is new stuff, but for me it's just reliving a part of the past I don't need to relive. I was disappointed with I Am Not Your Negro — I was really looking forward to learning more about James Baldwin's life, rather than his ideas (which I already knew), because when I first came to New York as a young actress, he was such an avant-garde playwright and fascinating guy."

James Baldwin was such a fascinating guy!
The only way I can reconcile her correct opinion about Baldwin with the rest of that dur-de-durrr is to assume that she finds him fascinating for different reasons than I do.

i'm sympathetic to her stance on the OJ doc (unseen by me), but since i ignored the trial as much as possible i'm willing to give it a shot.
