'One of the best actors I’ve ever seen.' Press Play
Also writer, producer, crone. depend on how I'm presenting.

[Michael Scott Martin @michaelmnola]

I do in fact have some thoughts.

Soderbergh Oscar re-edit idea: Same show, but shown from the perspective of the bar patrons from Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets. #Oscars

But if you're talking about the nature of their roles rather than they themselves, @dlsnola504, two to three of them are accounted for in this retweet.

[Michael Scott Martin @michaelmnola]

Comic relief, hidebound impediment on the hero’s journey, evil pervy schemer and, For Your Consideration, sliding into dementia.
I thought old white Academy voters got over this self-obsession when they gave a statue to Julianne Moore after three earlier tries w/other legends.

[Michael Scott Martin @michaelmnola]

I’m glad for Anthony Hopkins, I am. I didn’t think he’d make it back to respect after his (acknowledged) error in sticking with Hannibal too long.
But really, Hollywood needs to dream up some serious roles for old people which don’t involve dementia, and soon.

[Michael Scott Martin @michaelmnola]

@dlsnola504 That I haven't anything to say about someone (though I did tweet about Close) doesn't mean I don't mean I don't wish them the best.

@RevRevvinEv I have been.

Had Joaquin Phoenix refused his own Best Actor Oscar on principle, I’d take his undermining of the corrupt self-aggrandizing establishment seriously. But he did not (in fact he campaigned for it, in his surly artiste fashion) so I do not.

He’s simply (what is the term?) a shit.

[Michael Scott Martin @michaelmnola]

I stopped reading your latest blog when you described your own criticism in an earlier blog as “trenchant,” I’m sorry. But for all I know your estimation of your work is correct.

[Michael Scott Martin @michaelmnola]

@RudolphFernandz Old people have plenty of political clout. More, to my way of thinking, than they ought, and I’m one myself.
If they don’t “lobby” as smaller cohorts do, it’s because they don’t have to.
In general, I think mixing the issues of political and cultural representation confuses both.

[Sister Celluloid, same on Bluesky and Threads @sistercelluloid]

So it turns out Joaquin Phoenix's obnoxiousness about Anthony Hopkins winning a much-deserved award was even worse than appeared. They were told Olivia Colman, who played his daughter, would accept for him. But Phoenix just mumbled that he wasn't present and skulked off. #Oscars

[Michael Scott Martin @michaelmnola]

Can’t bear the sight of Glenn Close cheerfully taking one for the team another season. Not just being gracious: actually doing the presenting, the skits, the whatever.
Glenn needs to scare Hollywood out of taking her for granted. If she won’t go full Joaquin, at least stay home.

[Michael Scott Martin @michaelmnola]

At least I’m not ghosting people if I tell them I’m fucking done before I block them everywhere then stick with it. It’s not my fault if they suppose I’ll get over it.

[Michael Scott Martin @michaelmnola]

What’s wrong with people who “can’t complain” anyway?

[Michael Scott Martin @michaelmnola]

@LowBudgetMofo You tell it so well.

[Michael Scott Martin @michaelmnola]

Idyllic.

[LowBudgetMuthafucka @LowBudgetMofo]

@alice_x_daniels One time middle of summer a zillion degrees traveled from Windsor to Anderson Indiana to race horses, about 5-6 hours I guess, got some bad KFC at a rest stop, I shit all day I thought I was dying, I got to take an afternoon nap at the hotel, was sharing a room with another guy

Why is the broken omnidirectional soap dispenser in this bar’s washroom anchored like seven feet above the floor? I practically have to stand on tippytoe to obtain a squirt, which flies everywhere.
Does the bartender want us to wash our hair?

[Michael Scott Martin @michaelmnola]

I want to put my hands in your face.

[✨Vera Wylde✨ @verawylde]

I want to put my hair in your mouth.

I’m so sorry.

At my age, “friends with benefits” just means they own a truck so they can help you move.

[You’re the worst @OMGSoOverIt]

I’d let you fool me way more than twice.
