@Steven_Hyden Interesting that Lorne Michaels has become almost the anti “cancel culture” music booker. Arcade Fire. Threw a line to Lizzo last episode, too! Morgan Wallen this season also.
@rkylesmith I guess are we sure he was WATCHING? I mean it sounds insane but I know people who *listen* to Friends on their phone while they drive. If he’s peeking, report him. If he’s listening, let it be
@SonnyBunch Didn’t have Sonny Bunch as a Twitter account who I had to tune out because they began obsessively tweeting about Trump scandals, but here we are.
@jasonwhitlock The final shot is a referendum on all that came before it though. And very moral! She acts as though she owns her sexuality, but when a man tries to console her with kindness - call her by her real name - she’s too broken to accept it. Showing that her lifestyle has warped her
@brofromanother@ringer Surprised that you don’t give more context to the connection he must have to the material. He is one of two brothers whose mom and dad died in tragic ways. And he’s now a dad! The tone - “everybody dies… let’s go dancing” - felt personal. And you’re Mr. Read In To All Context!
@Patrick_Reusse Yes, if the Pirates and the Royals made the World Series next year that would be so much better for baseball’s bottom line than… YANKEES and DODGERS. You’re right. It’s not electronic strike zones. But not sure parity is issue. Diamondbacks made WS in 2023! Tampa Bay in 2020.
@lukestanaway@TheBigPic@SeanFennessey@jowrotethis His next three films are Celine Song’s follow up to Past Lives, a lesbian art comedy by Ethan Coen, and, look at that, using his MARVEL CAPITAL to put on a European auteur! (French guy who did Athena.) Just a truly freezing cold take from them. 👆👆👆
@Patrick_Reusse A positive rejoinder:
If you loved those games, remember that they were all four plus hour games! And had endless pitching changes as well! A reminder that great baseball *can* rise through the bs
@TheBigPic@SeanFennessey Sorry, I don’t see the top 3 best picture choices being Cannes/Venice arthouse selections. When has that ever happened? We’re coming off the Oppenheimer year, preceded by the fun hit EEAAO. This list is VERY critic/arty. There’s no way Wicked doesn’t get 6+ noms including picture
@Steven_Hyden That ummm didn’t happen at all in the trailer. Like not even one time. Also, I know you know the story inside and out, but not every one else in the world does? Too hard on it!
