Come on, this is not that hard. Valerie Perrine earned her Best Actress nomination--and she did earn it--for her vulnerable, touching performance in Bob Fosse's 1974 film Lenny. She was a fun, spirited presence in many subsequent movies made by an industry that didn't know what to do with her. RIP.

Amazing! Thank you for this.
Tonight I learned that E.L. Doctorow wrote a screenplay for Ragtime that ran one thousand pages.
Would read.
"I must say, Boseman impressed me. I didn't expect to find Donna Karan."--wicked city woman to bff Michelle Pfeiffer after a shopping trip. The actress playing the part, Rebecca Spence, does a really nice job, but not even a drag queen doing Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestley could sell that line.
I'm now up to a scene in which the Big City characters explain to the Big Sky character, who has never heard of this fancy contraption called a "Peloton" because he is a Man of the Land, that nobody rides a bike in New York City (played by Fort Worth) because you "get robbed." Taylor, who hurt you?
I am 17 mins into E4 of The Madison and I am starting to understand it not as a narrative but as a meditation room, a tranquilizer, the music that plays during a massage. Come, leave, listen, don't, depart, return. It doesn't matter. The characters will be in the same place saying the same things.
The idea that a pro-Israel group perniciously bent Hollywood to its will with a takedown campaign is a serious claim, and one that reinforces some bad stereotypes. There is no evidence that happened here. If anything, the movie was a surprise nominee, powered by voters saying "You HAVE to see this."
With respect, I don't think this movie lost because of this pretty ineffectual smear campaign. One group of Oscar voters elevated it from 90 submissions to the top 15; then another elevated it to the top 5. It is excruciatingly difficult to sit through and it lost to a movie with nine nominations.>
Small round of applause to Deadline for reporting this weekend's strong box office with the headline "'Hail Mary' Full of Grace."
This is a lovely read of the situation--thank you.
My dad gave me Jaws for my 11th birthday. He stapled the chapter with the sex scene and told me not to read it. I read it. He said, "I'm very disappointed in you." I said, "I'm very disappointed in YOU." A day later he told me he wouldn't pre-censor a book he gave me again. I couldn't believe I won.
Just a heads up that when the time comes, I am not going to "be better than" this post. Expect confetti.
It's sort of funny/sad that for all of our hourly rage here, if November turns out to be a wave election, it will probably be for the most ordinary and traditional of reasons: People don't like the way things are going and they're tired of the man/party in charge.
It's all so tired. Every day, something "like no one has ever seen before" or "a fury unlike anything in history" or something that just sounds like a weakening old man with limited language powers struggling to feel mighty. I'm not minimizing its danger--it's dangerous!--but who's still listening?
I always think of Ozzie and Harriet, a show that ran for a thousand seasons with zero cultural traction; I couldn't answer a single question about it. And all those cop/detective shows--Cannon, Mannix, Barnaby Jones, Ironside--that lasted forever and then didn't leave much of a trace.

It’s the rerun-industrial complex, right? They became a different kind of hit — low peaks, but endless rolling plains.
Good one!
Give me examples! I'm not talking about shows like Freaks and Geeks or My So-Called Life that ran only briefly but are held in high critical esteem. I mean stuff that has worked its way into mass culture--flop shows that people not born when they aired would now know.
