My almost haiku:

Promising Young Woman
Five nominations. Deserved!
Woah, what a movie!

Have seen more nominated films this year than any year I can remember (thanks, COVID!).

Trial of the Chicago 7
Nomadland
Mank
Sound of Metal

All were good. The first three were the best of the bunch. But, in a normal year, I wonder how many of these get oscar nods?

[Space Freely]

I've seen four of the eight nominees and liked Promising Young Woman best.

My son asks what the other three you saw are?

Apparently Nomadland is the overwhelming favorite

I don't really get the love. Played more like a good documentary for me.

Speaking of docs, watched Collective last night, nominated for Best Doc and Best International Film.

My two observations were I don't have as much patience for subtitles as I did when I was 21, especially for a doc, and no way am I going to a club show in Romania.

I rewatched Ferris Bueller’s Day Off for the first time in decades... I think I have seen bits and pieces over the years


Some of it has dated badly.. not PC... on the other hand it is sort of a reflection of wasp culture and that’s the way it was..

Still very very funny though...Charlie Sheen is so good in his role

I can remember seeing this as a 15 year old at the movie theater around Menlo Park and just loving it so much...

Speaking of Charlie Sheen, I learned that 18 yr old Soleil Moon Frye lost her virginity to 29 yr old Charlie.

I learned that in Soleil's surprisingly good doc, Kid 90.

The guy who plays the principal is a registered sex offender...

Everytime I watch that movie I think what an asshole Ferris is.  Shitty friend.

Anyone want to add to their already depressing mental state,  then definitely watch this.  Holy shit.

ehhh... this "documentary" needs a companion film that corrects all the alarmism, scientific inaccuracies and truth-stretching.  the movie was made to back up the maker's initial beliefs and conclusions.  it's mostly right (we are in fact trashing the oceans and over-harvesting what's left), but for the love of poseidon don't go quoting anything from this movie without verifying it first. 

[hutch]

If it’s mostly right not sure what the big problem is... or why you discredit it

I am tired of this bothsidesism always finding fault with everything if it’s mostly right

Examples: all politicians lie (eh, some like 99% of time and some 5%)

The media can’t be trusted cause they are biased (I will trust CNN over Fox News any day)
