Plus: Louis Theroux embarrassed himself in his latest documentary. America’s founding mother. Remember when Andrew Yang tried to warn us about mass AI unemployment? And more!
I'm sad that TFP has stopped circulating "Things Worth Remembering" on Sunday mornings and now instead wedges it into the Weekend Edition. It loses its calm, centered specialness among the movie reviews and cultural folderol, and Sunday loses a tradition that the FP had made special.
Another uninspiring year of movies, a self- important cringe host who would not allow police to be called to his holiday party (even though it might have saved lives), and insufferable opinionated "celebrities" (ranging from the has beens to the no one's ever heard of them) in the audience and on stage. I'll pass on the Oscar broadcast.
Welp, this seals it. I’m old and clueless. Besides Timothy Chalamet, who’s a little ick for my tastes, I have no idea what or whom any of these guys are talking about. Just put me on that ice floe and shove me off into blissful oblivion.
The Oscars, where overpaid, overprivileged people give each other golden statuettes for doing their jobs well and then those recipients give speeches that critique the world in which they don't even live.
Cannot wait for all our celebrity heroes to show their patriotism.. for hamas and their new besties in Tehran. I hear that after this week's wave of white supremacy in Michigan and Virginia there will be unprecedented security to protect our best and brightest from a fascist maga attack. Hopefully they will be boycotting steak and lobster when they have a very sedate after party. May the best pronouns win.
"One Battle After Another." Sean Penn should win as best actor with an assist from his penis. DiCaprio deserves an award for the best impression of a deranged Jack Nicholson in "The Shining." "Sinners" was visually stunning with one great musical sequence.
Wow, gee whiz, goody, just like when I was a kid in the 40's and early 50's, Saturday mornings electronics entertainment coming into the house was all for the kids - "Buster Brown," "Let's Pretend," I can't remember them all. I'm happy to see nothing has changed.
“Brain rot correspondent” is funny.

I’ll watch the Oscars when they bring back Ricky Gervais.
The ledes answered the only question that mattered — why bother?

"I have no idea what or whom any of these guys are talking about."
On music/movies/etc find myself say that very thing. I have come to accept that I am no longer Groovy.

I sure hope I have wi-fi on my floe. I want my Bluetooth playing this!
The Oscars used to be class and quality. Now class is rare and quality even more rare.

Succinct and pithy. And the Oscar’s for spoken word goes to P Roth!

Oh for the days when ushers passed out over ripe tomatoes and rotten cabbages.
Oscars Weekend!
