It was all a conspiracy between Hollywood elites to get people talking about the Oscars.

Can't believe people are talking about this while the [bad thing elsewhere] is still ongoing. This makes you trivial and me wise.

This whole thing just goes to show something I said earlier, and I will now make the convoluted and unconvincing case why.

It's called empathy, people
The other day I saw someone insisting that he invented the idea of shooting just someone's legs as they were walking.

Reminds me of that tweet that defended the Potter books as the first time an author tackled the subject of class inequality
Spoiler: I didn't watch just 10 minutes of Encanto.
If there were no theaters, there'd be no Oscars.
Because where would they hold them? IN A BARN? I think not.
Theaters are already dead.
I just can't hide it.
No way home, maybe wasnt the worst spiderman, it was definitely the one that disapointed me the most.
I think I'm the only person on the planet who hates recliner seats. I miss the old ones.
Lots of comedies, Edgar Wright, Armando Ianucci, 80s flicks . . . easily over 100 films in this sale. I probably bought 20 or more. It’s nuts.
and beating eachother up
The money it brings in goes to fund the Academy's preservation, archival, and education activities, and that's not nothing. But there is a lot of grade A gooseshit that happens with the awards. Best Animated Feature is just one of the most notorious because of how it gets treated.
What should have won and what did it lose to? I have no desire to ever watch the Oscars or anything, but curious about your thoughts

Encanto won, The Mitchells vs. The Machines should have.
I should probably watch it again but I walked away thinking it was kind of a mess and not in the jubilant way it was going for.
To me, it felt like the creators embraced the actual messiness of life, as opposed to the controlled chaos you get in your usual major studio fare.
I watched John Wick 3 last night and it bugged me that he travels around the world for a thing and loses a finger so he can come back and immediately change his mind about the thing.
Death on the Nile in a day or two on D+, I hear they changed the final act and Armie Hammer devours everyone but chokes to death on Poirot's moustache. I am mainly watching it for said moustache.
From George Lucas' 50th birthday in '94; Clint Howard's brother, Senor Spielbergo, Marty Score, Brian DePalma, Lucasfilm, Robert Zemeckis, Coppola Winery.
I saw this picture in passing and it got me to thinking if there's any real modern comparison. All these directors, who knew each other beyond just acquaintances, all hitting their strides in a similar time and bringing a variety of films from intimate to blockbusters, and this being right at their prime or just past it before we see real damage like the prequels or Coppola falling off hard.
You've got Taratino, you've got Edgar Wright, Taylor Sheridan maybe?
Ah.
Hmmm.
I really liked both of those. Mitchells vs the Machines had a better story and theme. Encanto songs are pretty addicting though :P . But yeah, overall I think I'd agree that Encanto wasn't "Best"

You fool you absolute fool. Look into the darkness in your heart and know the truth.
He has only directed six movies in his entire career, but his career is so much more than being a director.

Oh, the fact that they did a performance for "We Don't Talk About Bruno" (which, remember, wasn't even put up for nomination) was just a sad grasp for relevance.
I'm glued to American Graffiti any time I happen upon it. I honestly think it's better than Space Fights.
The toy line was rather short-lived however.
I don't hate recliner seats but I don't like them for movies. Drinking my beer and/or cocktails is very awkward when reclined. But for people who drink less than I do I can see where reclining would be pleasant.
I saw pictures of some theater (possibly in Asia somewhere?) chain that has beds in the theater. That's just a step too far if you ask me.
