My biggest fear is, honestly, that some genius will decide the show "should look more like something you might see on YouTube."

Best-case scenario: The Oscars get to be themselves. No length worries, the honorary awards start streaming, things loosen up. Worst case: This is a desperate attempt to youthify, and the result will look like

Seriously: I think this is weird, but that's because I'm old and like it when silly rituals stay the same. That sentimentality aside, unyoking the Academy Awards from a network that has seemed increasingly annoyed by their requirements could (COULD, not WILL) be great and liberating.
I have lots of strong feelings about this, but I'm going to lead with optimism: Apparently people think there is going to be a 2029! bsky.app/profile/thr....
Just came from Facebook, where every horrific thing that happens to Jews anywhere in the world is being greeted with, "Well, how do you like Mamdani NOW?" I'm all out of patience with this. It's an instant block for me.
A friend of mine calls these the "Be Careful, Honey"s.
Fascinating thread. Why is this breaking through when so much hasn't? I think it's 2 things. 1) Never underestimate the emotional intensity of people's relationships to entertainment figures. And 2) How to behave when someone is murdered is the simplest, lowest-bar character test in all of politics.
Somebody ask Mike Johnson about the unemployment report and Susie Wiles, he needs to get his 10,000 steps in.
Ugh, said "polish" twice, sorry and...well, you get what you pay for.
I felt this way rewatching The Firm. The movie takes care of you.

I love a director who loves writers.
When I think of his movies, I think of many other voices: Nora Ephron, Stephen King, Aaron Sorkin, Christopher Guest, Kathy Bates, William Goldman. To me that speaks of generosity, of a spirit of collaboration, of understanding that filmmaking is not a one-man operation. I wish we had more like him.
I've noticed that among movie lovers here, lately there's a renewed appreciation of the craft and polish of '80s/'90s studio movies--their pleasure and polish, their entertainment value. Rob Reiner's early filmography is such a good way to understand that. He knew how to deliver. A true craftsman. >

Big Marky-Mark-woulda-stopped-9/11 energy.
Just in case any journalist or editor reading this is tempted to minimize Trump's Reiner post because it's a "showbiz thing" and "real" stories are happening: No. It's a President thing and a decency thing, and if you don't understand that those things are newsworthy, you are failing in your duties.
