Thanks Anders. I don’t usually think of RM for national movie news but I’ve a feeling that’s about to change

The most annoying part of Past Lives isn't even the story about which insecure, annoying simp she will choose to love--it's the transitions between every scene which are just like shots of stuff in the room with the most boring movie-score-music playing over it. just a waste of time!

1. That's not even close to what the story's about
2. Objects in rooms, evidence of life in living spaces, is indeed a recurring motif; I wonder why they did that? It was probably an accident!
3. The score is one of the highlights

Sit down and think about how in your haste to dismiss this movie you ended up sounding like Bammer writing about international cuisine

Jorge, I'm curious, how did you feel about Skinamarink?

Jorge · **Posted:** Mon March 11, 2024 12:05 pm

I haven't seen Skinamarink. To be quite honest, based on the marketing and what I've heard about it I somewhat doubt it's my kinda movie.

that's fair; I loved it, but some people feel it's just endless stills of walls and doors

Fran Drescher was gorgeous last night.

I watched a bit of the Oscars last night and for the most part it wasn't bad.

I really wish they'd do the full screen for the in memoriam; I had a hard time catching the names of the people who passed.

My favorite part was Ryan Gosling singing "I'm just Ken". I think that was the highlight of the show. Then it loses to the Billie Eilish Barbie song. My finger is not on the pulse of current pop trends, but I felt like the Ken song was a lot more popular this year that the Eilish one.

I'm not the first person to make this observation, but Emma Stone winning over a Native American woman the same year The Curse came out is extremely funny.

Yeah, what tree said.

Among many other things, the show deals with white liberal guilt, cultural appropriation, and Native land rights. Issues which her character obliviously plays superficial lip-service to.

Kind of makes her obvious Oscar campaign pretty ridiculous

oh and let's not forget she strives for credit as a revolutionary artist (having had plagiarized another architect's work) while living off her parents' wealth whilst her native american true artist friend struggles to make ends meet
