Winning an Oscar for a song you wrote in Spanish while simultaneously claiming Spanish is the language of “developing countries, poor people, and migrants” and then thanking the racist POS who sang it and shouldn’t even BE at the Oscars is WILD. Emilia Perez is truly repulsive.

“I have zero regrets”: Less than 18 months after a snowplow accident nearly killed him, @JeremyRenner is returning for season 3 of @ParamountPlus’ @kingstown.

He told CBS Mornings how going back to work helped him heal — and why he calls his daughter, Ava, his life force.

Multiverse of Madness (May 2022): $955m

Ant Man 3 (February 2023): $476m

The Marvels (November 2023): $206m

I don’t think you can cram a whole “big generational divide” into 18 months, and it didn’t hurt Barbie, Mario, or Guardians 3.

If your reasoning is “but the youngs just want to stream everything these days” then why have all the streaming shows bombed?

Rebel Moon: Part Two is one of the worst movies I've ever had the displeasure of watching. This is bad even for a Zack Snyder film...

I see the Oscars Barbie decision has gone down about as well as a tampon made of wasps.

Apparently, getting nominations in no fewer than 8 categories counts as a patriarchal snub to all womankind. It’s so wildly overblown and fundamentally tone deaf I’m surprised it wasn’t mentioned in that America Ferrera speech (on which sole basis even that cardboard cutout got a nomination.)

The Golden Globes had to invent a whole new category to get Barbie a gong - Services to Wine Aunts or something - because when you actually evaluate it by the criteria for all the existing awards - screenplay, acting, directing, etc. - it’s an unremarkable film.

Godzilla Minus One is a much better film across the board and it got just one nomination (for its least remarkable feature). This despite Godzilla being a much better supporting actress than America Ferrera.

Barbie had to get nominations because it had women and it made lots of money. It got a bunch of random nominations because it really doesn’t have any stand-out artistic merits — save, perhaps, production design.

That’s not patriarchy, that’s the Oscars.

To be fair - and I’m British and tea is involved, so this is evidence against interest - the Boston Tea Party was *almost certainly* the doing of a crime boss cartel concerned that imported tea would undercut their prices. It was not, in fact, a noble rebellion against Empire’s taxation.

BUT it’s an example of a genuinely beneficial foundation myth. A nation born in stories about the rejection of stifling bureaucrats and the rule of foreign tyrants is a very useful fiction that made the USA what it is today: the shining city on the hill where freedom still has rhetorical sway. The myth has created real truth that’s worth holding on to.

It helps that the fiction was bent to fit a real thing: the Colonies were right to rebel, they had real grievances and a real philosophy to instantiate; and they propagandised (as every movement does) to further their ends.

I love the romance of the Tea Party story. It fits in the grander narrative of the English Glorious Revolution having to flee the old world to realise its conclusion, which is still (just about) true today.

Americans who wish to be more like Europe haven’t spent enough time over here.

It doesn’t matter much whether every aspect of the creation myth is true, except as a matter of historical interest. Fiction creates as much fact as history.

What matters is that people believe it was. A world where the Boston Tea Party was a cry for freedom is objectively better than a world that takes its cynical reality as a lesson, never mind a world that lets history undermine the lesson.

The facts of history almost always fall short of our ideals, but our ideals still matter.

Merry Christmas, America. Plenty of us still find you inspiring.

20 minutes into The Marvels. I have no idea what’s going on but it’s mildly offensive.

Now that Gran Turismo is finally out in the US, I can recommend it to anyone tired of Barbenheimer or superhero flicks.

Bit ironic coming from the star of Shazam 2, but I agree with the sentiment.
