A lot of talk about Bill Simmon’s re-apex but not enough talk about @rBillSimmonsPod ‘s re-apex … almost brings new meaning to “Double Apex Mountain” and instantiates a kind of meta re-apex for Bill himself. Incredible to see.
Bernthal flashback. Nod to Groundhog Day. @briankoppelman subtly quoting The Deer Hunter: this is this. The Bear is back. Just need Carmy to start ripping darts again and the revanche will be complete.
My latent sexism is never more pronounced than when my gf is driving my car. I am not built to be a passenger princess. I am a worse than Tom Cruise in Collateral. But I am doing the work.
Say what you will about Season 3 of the Bear, but they are doing important work for representation of the cigarette smoking community. We are still here (well, not right here - but just outside, collecting our thoughts, having a smoke) and everyone deserves to feel seen.
With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived.
gf askd if she had my attention.
I said no. U have part of my attention - U have the minimum amount. The rest of my attention is back at the offices of Facebook, where my colleagues and I are doing things that no one in this room are intellectually or creatively capable of doing
“Didn’t even get nominated in ‘76 for Taxi Driver. Snubbed in ‘80 to give Redford his. Don’t even want to talk about ‘90 or ‘04 when they gave it to Costner and Clint … actor/directors. They finally threw me a bone in ‘06 for The Departed - which is what, my 5th best picture?”
Lily Gladstone was expected by some to win best actress tonight and after #Oscers statue went lost to Emma Stone, Lily’s Killers of the Flower Moon director Martin Scorsese was seen consoling his star and giving her a big hug.
How the Oscars will go…
The bookies are afraid to let me win but if I could I would nuke a 9-leg Oppenheimer parlay with the 7 below winners + sound + adapted.
Still holding out hope for my guys Giamatti and Robbie Robertson (RIP) but alas I don’t have a ballot … not yet
