Just to lay down a marker, I have not seen one of the movies nominated for the top 6 awards.
Turned it on. They were announcing a song for RBG (could be from the movie "On the Basis of Sex"). Changed to Guy's Grocery Game.
RBG and On the Basis of Sex combined for $40 million in ticket sales. That makes me wonder, which is watched more? Those two movies or the Oscars?
Oscar Night? What's that?
Back to the important issues.
Gail Heriot at Instapundit, illustrating actually existing women-are-special feminism, as opposed to "standards should be equalized" Althousian fantasy feminism:
"FEMINISM: YOU’VE COME A LONG WAY, BABY… AND BACK: Friday’s briefing before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights on “Women in Prison” was about how “women are different” from men. The message that they should therefore be treated more leniently was sometimes explicit and sometimes merely implicit, but it seemed to always be there. One of the public commentators declared her goal to be the end all imprisonment for women (but apparently not for men). It was a bit like the 19th century."

It's the Straw Clown's Tale, one of pro-choice, twilight, and jest.
Favorite is still my favourite.
Proud to say I have not set foot in a movie theater in years and years. 2018 was no different.
Imagine there's no Meryl STreep - it's easy if you try.
Black Panther beat The Favourite for costume and production design?!
too bad there wasnt a Willard II to take all the honors
Billy Porter's ensemble makes him look like a bitter Klinger
Oscar Night? I'm rooting for "Dunkirk" or it that the wrong year?
Oscars 2019? I'm still wondering how Bette Davis and Gloria Swanson lost in 1950. BTW, Stanley Donen just died. He was a draft dodger in WW2 but he directed "Singing in the Rain".
Blood Money (2017) was better than expected. Good guys and bad guy vs female.
Recent vintage DVDs have much rarer tit scenes, so there's no WTF was that scene about moment. A #MeToo effect probably.
Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.

Eight best picture nominees and I have only even heard of three, maybe four of them. Are Hollywood scriptwriters that bad or have I gotten picky in my old age?
Best movie never to be nominated for ANY Oscar? D.O.A. (1949)
Frank Bigelow: I want to report a murder.
Homicide Captain: Sit down. Where was this murder committed?
Frank Bigelow: San Francisco, last night.
Homicide Captain: Who was murdered?
Frank Bigelow: I was.
"I love trash."
---Oscar the Grouch
Frank Bgalow - Do you realize what you're saying? Why, you're telling me that I'm dead.
The Oscars are still a thing?
Maybe I will catch them at the RedBox.
Boring, tedious and humorless - but wife & daughter are watching the Oscars, and I'm too lazy to leave the room.
"Now, I guess, people want stars. People are trying to invent stars."
---Oscar Robertson
Frank Bigelow: I was drinking last night.
Dr. MacDonald: I'll arrange for your admission to the hospital immediately. Of course, I'll have to notify the police. This a case for homicide.
Frank Bigelow: Homocide?
Dr. MacDonald: I don't think you fully understand, Bigelow. You've been murdered.
The one movie I saw this past year that I'd actually recommend was Free Solo. An amazing achievement, both for the climber and for the film makers.
The favorite is partially based on the account of Winston's distant ancestor, the Duke of marlborough.
Wayne & Garth make an appearance - 27 years since Wayne's World.
Funny business, a woman's career - the things you drop on your way up the ladder so you can move faster. You forget you'll need them again when you get back to being a woman. That's one career all females have in common, whether we like it or not: being a woman. Sooner or later, we've got to work at it, no matter how many other careers we've had or wanted. And in the last analysis, nothing's any good unless you can look up just before dinner or turn around in bed, and there he is. Without that, you're not a woman. You're something with a French provincial office or a book full of clippings, but you're not a woman. Slow curtain, the end.
Bill's thirty-two. He looks thirty-two. He looked it five years ago, he'll look it twenty years from now. I hate men.
Kind of weird to have a Brit talk about slaaay queen RBG. Why should a Brit even care about our Supreme Court?
It's a scandal, it's an outrage!
When it's gonna be the day
We're gonna lead the liberation
And we will lead the way?
It's problem we must solve
We gotta start a revolution!
---Oscar Hammerstein II
Frankly, My dear I don't give a damn.
Well here in the eastern time zone we don't get the big Oscar winners till around midnight.... guess I'll just read about it in the morning.
Amazingly we have seen 4 of the 8 nominees for Best Picture. I can't remember that happening in a while.
There's a message from the bartender. Does Miss Channing know she ordered domestic gin by mistake?
Margo: The only thing I ordered by mistake is the guests. They're domestic, too, and they don't care what they drink as long as it burns!
Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper are gonna sing "Shallow"
A man who has not been a socialist before 25 has no heart. If he remains one after 25 he has no head.
---King Oscar II of Sweden
OMG... Maya Rudolph is wearing 1980 Laura Ashley bedroom drapes.
I don't recognize many of the people on the red carpet. Guess I should get out more...or not.

Will: Stay at the hotel until it's over.
Amy: No, I won't be here when it's over. You're asking me to wait an hour to find out if I'm going to be a wife or a widow. I say it's too long to wait! I won't do it!
Will: Amy!
Amy: I mean it! If you won't go with me now, I'll be on that train when it leaves here.

"Two male runners are continuing to dominate high school girls’ track in Connecticut.
High school juniors Terry Miller and Andraya Yearwood took first and second place in the state open indoor track championships Feb. 16, The Associated Press noted in a report Sunday. Both Miller and Yearwood are biological males who identify as transgender girls.
One of their competitors, high school junior Selina Soule, told the AP it was unfair to force female runners to compete against male runners.
“We all know the outcome of the race before it even starts; it’s demoralizing,” said Soule. “I fully support and am happy for these athletes for being true to themselves. They should have the right to express themselves in school, but athletics have always had extra rules to keep the competition fair.”
Miller is the third-faster runner in the country in the girls’ 55-meter dash. Yearwood is close behind, tied for seventh nationally.
Miller and Yearwood’s success is just the latest instance of male athletes, who identify as transgender, excelling in women’s sports. (RELATED: Democratic Congresswoman Calls It A ‘Myth’ That Transgender Athletes Have ‘Direct Competitive Advantage’ In Women’s Sports)
What is up with the men wearing colored velvet?
Chris Evans, WHY? Jason Momoa, WHY?
Not watching the Oscars, but just took a look online to see if Free Solo won. I'm very glad it did (for Best Documentary), but I watched the acceptance speech of Elizabeth Vasarhelyi, the director. It's posted online. What an abomination of a speech. Blah blah women and people of color blah blah. Then she says almost nothing about the climber Alex who is standing right there. He's the one who climbed the damn mountain! She thanks him barely at the end as the music starts playing. A sad moment for a terrific film. She should have shut up and let her husband do the talking.
Better without a host.
Sorry, it's a cafe.
I just stumbled across a Trey Gowdy v. Peter Stzok exchange on youtube.
How the fuck did he advance in the FBI? It's almost like he was hand selected to fall on his sword at the right time.
Strzok is mentally, and emotionally compromised. You can hear it in his voice, facial ticks, and his testimony.
You goddamn guineas - you really make me laugh.
I haven't watched the Oscars in a few years, but I am tonight. I am struck mainly by how saturated it is in intersectional identity politicizing.
I just watched "Bullett" on DVD.
How did We lose the ability to make entertaining movies ?
Yes I had only seen it recently, it has great character development a fairly original plot with at least one twit and the cae chase:

Time. Time. What is time? Swiss manufacture it. French hoard it. Italians squander it. Americans say it is money. Hindus say it does not exist. Do you know what I say? I say time is a crook.
One of the only outfit that isnt garish, the film is even more ridiculous than American hustle.

That was raymond Chandler adapting James Caine for Billy wilder,
Spike Lee, a vocal Trayvon Martin supporter, has settled financially with a couple whose lives were radically disrupted by his recent Twitter activism.
Lee, who has more than a quarter-million Twitter followers, over the weekend retweeted a Florida address said to be that of George Zimmerman, 26, the neighborhood watch captain who fatally shot 17-year-old Martin on Feb. 26.
While Lee was criticized up front for what some saw as a call for vigilante justice — some on Twitter threatened to tweet the film director's home address to put the shoe on the other foot — things took a twist when the address also turned out to be wrong. David and Elaine McClain, whose son is named William George Zimmerman, were forced to flee to a hotel to avoid the attention misdirected at their home.
Meanwhile, Roseanne Barr jumped into the fray, according to the Smoking Gun, tweeting the correct address of Zimmerman's parents to her 111,000 followers before deleting the info after some criticism and after realizing that posting private information without permission violates Twitter rules.
But that wasn't the end of it. "If Zimmerman isn’t arrested I’ll rt his address again," she said, "maybe go 2 his house myself." That after saying she'd sent the address around in the first place to let people know "that no one can hide anymore."
Yet, she said, "vigilante-ism is what killed Trayvon. I don’t support that."

Lady Gaga’s speech was inspiring!
Sacred Heart girl.
@FullMoon, and the worst part of it is that self defense is what killed Trayvon Martin. Note to anyone who wants to be a gangsta -- don't jump somebody who has a nine.
That was all there was to it.Nothing had slipped, nothing had been overlooked.There was nothing to give us away. And yet, Keyes, as I was walking down the street to the drugstore, suddenly, it came over me that everything would go wrong. It sounds crazy Keyes, but it's true, so help me, I couldn't hear my own footsteps. It was the walk of a dead man.
Lady Gaga’s tats had to be hidden for the movie. Tats are so stupid.

Chandlee had enough experience in the white collar world to make the story which was recycled from a real trial seen authentic, nowadays screenwriters have no other perspective.
This is the night when both the identity-politics elitists and the Republican dirt people can pretend to take part in something glamorous and stupid and meaningless.

said Soule. “I fully support and am happy for these athletes for being true to themselves.
No sympathy. You reap what you sow. The fact is that they are NOT being true to themselves. They are lying to themselves and you and everyone. But if you want to go along with the lie, even after personally suffering the absurdity of it all, you deserve what you get.
who won for "Best Hoax" ?

Good news !

You still don't see it, do you, Charlie? You are nothing but a small-time Charlie. You'd love to keep me hustling for you, huh? Wouldn't ya? I mean, a couple more years with me, scuffling around them little towns and those back alleys. You might make yourself enough to get a little poolroom back in Oakland. Six tables and a handbook on the side. Is that when you say goodbye to me, Charlie?

We didn't. The Marvel movies are usually reliable fun, and "Mary Poppins Returns" was wonderful.
Quite often "we" (for the usual suspects values of "we") *choose* not to make entertaining movies.
Ah, but the strawberries, that’s, that’s where I had them, they laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, and with geometric logic, that a duplicate key to the ward room icebox did exist, and I’ve had produced that key if they hadn’t pulled the Caine out of action.
Interesting:
Further information: Bovine genome
In the 24 April 2009, edition of the journal Science, a team of researchers led by the National Institutes of Health and the US Department of Agriculture reported having mapped the bovine genome.[103] The scientists found cattle have about 22,000 genes, and 80% of their genes are shared with humans, and they share about 1000 genes with dogs and rodents, but are not found in humans. Using this bovine "HapMap", researchers can track the differences between the breeds that affect the quality of meat and milk yields.[
If anyone had told me that Peter Farrelly would co-write and direct an Oscar winning Best Picture, I would have laughed you out of the room, and I am fan of Farrelly's movies.
Bovines share......80% of their genes are shared with humans
This explains why Trumpit is in a long-term Grindr relationship with a bull.
Just looking at the list winners, was damned pleased to see Olivia Colman win for Best Actress. She was great in Broadchurch and The Night Manager. I didn't even know she was nominated. Have been planning to watch The Crown at some point, but haven't yet.
Haven’t watched that junk in years, I did see the lovely tuxedo dress that person wore. (Gag)
Proud my President is going to Vietnam tomorrow, I loved my POW bracelet back in the day. Peace.
Didnt like broadchurch, did like night manager,
The best of the seasons of Broadchurch was the second one, worst was the last one. She, Colman, was good throughout, though, as was David Tennant.
For FullMoon and rcocean:
You know what the fellow said – in Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace – and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.
And that was not in the original third man script, but orson Welles improvisation.
It's also misleading because the swiss mercenaries were the Blackwater of their day.
Is this the thread where we jabber about hating the massively successful capitalist US industry called Hollywood?
Or is this where we pretend coal and such is relavent re US growth?
Does green book which is largely based on a convenient fiction, really stand up over time, do you think people will be watching mo light 25 years from now?
Cuckoo clocks aren't swiss they are German.
People whose jobs don't contribute to US growth are scum.
Subsidized "green" jobs reduce US growth.
Subsidized media jobs, ditto.
Those people should learn to code, right, PB&J?
I just watched “Bullett” on DVD.
How did We lose the ability to make entertaining movies ?
As someone commented up-thread, Marvel movies can still be fun. My partner and I enjoyed watching the recent (2 parts thus far) Marvel Ant-man series on DVD; indeed, the second episode, Ant-man & the Wasp pretty much re-does the car-chase scene in the streets/hills of San Francisco portion of Bullett!
A few years back I sometimes drove for Uber in San Francisco (in my Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited) — and occasionally (particularly when carrying families with old-enough children, say, en route to a hotel at Fisherman's Wharf) on the way I'd take them down (e.g.) northbound Franklin St. — with the Golden Gate strait and Alcatraz Island dramatically visible up (or rather down) ahead — thence down those hills at just the right velocity to leave everybody (a little bit) flying as one launches out over the edge of each intersecting street's far-side drop-off. Great fun!
In 1952, my grandmother visited her aunt or cousin on a hill in San Fran. It was 89 steps up from the street, which I think was Pacheto or something. I couldn't find it on google maps, but there are probably more houses there now.
"Is this the thread where we jabber about hating the massively successful capitalist US industry called Hollywood?"
The ever-extending copyright period may be the most anticompetitive measure any industry benefits from. Let's drop that period down to match the patent period, and see how the industry does on its own.
"Are Hollywood scriptwriters that bad or have I gotten picky in my old age?"
Yes and yes. Me as well.
To be fair, I can't say the movies are bad because I haven't actually seen them. But I haven't seen them because the descriptions and trailers failed to generate interest.
"I just watched "Bullett" on DVD."
Great movie. Having Steve McQueen in the lead certainly didn't hurt. He has made some terrific movies. Cool Hand Luke and The Great Escape to name two.
bullitt
Cool Hand Luke
Paul Newman was the lead. Was McQueen in it too?
@Humperdink, McQueen wasn’t in “Cool Hand Luke,” that was Paul Newman. I liked “LeMans,”. I saw the original “The Blob” on TV a couple months Bach, and was surprised to realize that a (very) young Steve McQueen was the lead.
"Paul Newman was the lead. Was McQueen in it too?"
Yeah, my error. Too early in the morning.
Changing topics, I see that pundits are pushing the idea of a primary challenge to Donald Trump. I suspect that all that would prove is that the polls showing his support among Republicans at more than 90% are quite real.
Looked at the winners this morning. I'm pleasantly surprised. I haven't seen Green Book, but it seemed like it should win but might get snubbed for off camera nonsense. I figured Lady Gaga would get blocked, but she has an Oscar. Spike Lee probably didn't get what he wanted, but he got Lebron James anyway.
You only did half the math Big Mike. There is a non-zero chance Mueller's report will topple Trump. Hedged bets.
Never Look Away, a fictional biopic of worlds greatest living painter Gerhardt Richter was sehr gut. Richter was pissed, great story in the New Yorker.

Great news! This is the first step toward the creation of fartless cows. But they better hurry -- we're running out of time!
"Never Look Away, a fictional biopic of worlds greatest living painter Gerhardt Richter was sehr gut. Richter was pissed, great story in the New Yorker."
Who says Richter is the world's greatest living painter?
Howard says... although a good case could be made for David Hockney.

It's a cryin' shame, but perhaps not very many people are interested in fashion. art. music. film. design. travel.
bullitt
No, that's the old McQueen movie; I can't imagine anyone would be stupid enough to misspell such a simple movie title "just" after watching it.
I don't know if I would be able (or willing) to name a "greatest living painter," but I I did, it wouldn't be Richter or Hockney. (Not that I think they haven't done good work.)
In terms of auction prices, those two are hard to beat. I also happen to like their aesthetics. Just my taste.
While I used to pay attention to the film industry and to the Oscars, I don't any longer. None at all, or as little as headline writers let me.
The big news in the southern Willamette Valley is snow last evening, overnight, and in the early hours of today: inches of it, perhaps five or six or more, in the city of Eugene proper. And it's still falling, although it is very near to being sleet. The governments are closed, the schools are closed, the buses aren't running, and I'm on the verge of having the day off work, I hope.
