It's not that difficult to avoid making blowjob jokes. And if I had been married to Kimberly Guilfoyle, I might simply take the widest possible detour around the whole subject of personal degradation. OK, as you were.

Ah, the old trap: If gay people point out that equating oral sex with degradation is homophobic, we're scolds and language police, and that distracts from the real issue, which is that Newsom lacks any internal compass and says whatever he thinks will win him applause or agreement in the moment. >
Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoy it!
Sorry, I disagree. With the Academy, she was a long shot. Different votership, different vibe.
This was not one of the desirable four--those were all on 3rd Ave.--but it was definitely a moviehouse! It used to be called the D.W. Griffith and then the 59th Street East. I think it ended its days as a Bollywood venue. Not the nicest place, but reliable. I saw Phantasm there as a teen.
I genuinely (tediously, stridently) do not believe in awards "snubs." But I will say that the complete omission of Wicked: For Good feels like a...let's say "stern refutation" of the argument that Wicked was two movies rather than one movie strategically divided in two. No double dipping.
I cannot "Amen" this loudly enough. Congratulations to Will Tracy (Bugonia) and Robert Kaplow (Blue Moon) for bucking the trend.
I like the nomination because for a long time this season, Avatar: Fire & Ash and Wicked: For Good were both hovering over that "Well, I guess we have to" spot, and instead, voters picked a movie they actually enjoyed. (This bias may come from my having watched Airport last night. I didn't hate it!)
Still on the Oscars: I'd love to see a year in which the casting branch didn't pick only films that also get Best Picture nominations. (The Plague would have been a great choice.) But their excellent and deserving inclusion of The Secret Agent shows that they didn't do this on autopilot. Good start!
Also, while tallying surprises: I don't think a single predictor saw the complete blanking of Wicked: For Good coming. Del Toro and Panahi both missing director is also a surprise but two good choices were inevitably going to get squeezed out.
This lineup is exactly what the Academy votership overhaul several years ago was going for: More room for genre. A year when the huge, popular movie with the black cast ISN'T the surprise "Oops" omission. And a more international look--nineteen nominations for foreign films this year.
I'm seeing anger at Hudson for "stealing" Chase Infiniti's nomination. Which means it's time for my annual Oscar-nomination day reminder: Don't be creepy and weird. Infiniti was always a long shot--it's very hard for an actress that new/young to get in unless she carries an entire movie. Next time.
There are always a handful of disappointing/surprising Oscar omissions, and I'm sad that Paul Mescal got squeezed out for a superb performance in Hamnet. But: Delroy Lindo and Wunmi Mosaku! Four for The Secret Agent, including casting! Amy Madigan! Yeah, this list is fine.
It basically did! The structure of the class was that we would watch one significant film a week on Monday at 1 and then again at 7 that night, and 2-3 other significant related films once each during that week. It was one of the best educational experiences of my life.
I don't think anyone's ever been annoyed at an honestly happy reaction.
I think there's a pretty easily detectable difference between a laugh that feels weird or inappropriate but is real, and a kind of running stream of audible performative disdain that is designed to bullhorn your superiority to or detachment from what you're watching.
Yep. I saw The Best Years of Our Lives as a teenager, in a classroom full of college students (including me) who were not prepared to take what it had to give. But we had a great professor who talked us through that reaction, then had us watch it a second time.
The opposite of what I'm talking about isn't "reverent silence"; it's an awareness that you're in a public space. I think an easy test is: Am I genuinely reacting, or am I inflicting my negative opinion on strangers in real time? If the latter, why do you feel a need to be heard at that moment?
Sophisticated ugh indeed!
