    Agreed. I think it's a great year for surprises outside of the supporting categories. Best Actor/Actress could go multiple ways. Best Director is totally up in the air. Best Picture could be another shocker like the Moonlight year. Very excited for Conan to host. Are we to assume they made the...

    STAR WARS! STAR WARS! STAR WARS

    Oh you liked the prequels and they were "your Star Wars"? Sorry, best we can offer is an adjustable rate mortgage.

    You're right. I'm going to edit my post as that makes it worse. I always like this time of year because people will re-litigate the worst Oscar snubs and wins.

    Another anonymous voter said they didn't vote for Ralph Fiennes for Best Actor because he's already won before and voted instead for Adrien Brody because he never has. Adrien Brody has a Best Actor Oscar already for The Pianist. Maybe we can get #oscarssostupid trending.

    Yes, they gave out special mortgages just to people who saw the OT in theaters in the late 70s and early 80s. People who saw the Special Editions got the Greedo Shot First penalty rate mortgages.

    STAR WARS! STAR WARS! STAR WARS

    They would bring Star Wars and later Empire back to theaters from time to time before Empire and Jedi came out. I saw Star Wars in the back of my parent's station wagon with my older brother describing what's happening at a drive in while they watched Close Encounters out of the front of the...

    Even Oscar Isaac couldn't believe he had to say this line.

    STAR WARS! STAR WARS! STAR WARS

    I swear if Lucas hadn't sold to Disney that he would still be tinkering with those OT movies today. Jabba, you're a wonderful human being! Spoken to a CGI character that was originally an Irish actor. Thank goodness of Despecialized Editions.

    It Could Get A Bit Messi In Here - The Football Thread.

    First win at the Etihad since 2018 in Champions League. First league win in almost a decade. That was huge but didn't feel like the usual City team we've faced. When it falls off, it falls off quick.

    Oh hell yeah. Tonight's 90s Essential Movie Night rewatch with the oldest. She loved it. Wants the poster for her room....which I still have in a poster tube along with Heat and OT Star Wars posters from the media room in our old duplex. I knew there was a good reason to hold onto them. Easily...

    Ralph Fiennes is so good in it. His Oscar nomination is well deserved.

    We also watched Conclave last night. I enjoyed it though I wasn't really sold on the twist at the end. Great acting and very well shot. I would put it behind Anora and The Brutalist in my Oscar race. Still need to see A Complete Unknown.

    This is great. It makes me very envious and on the cusp of doing something dumb.

    2025 Reading Challenge

    Finished this tonight and I'm really glad I read it. There was so much about MLK that was just glossed over or fluffed up in the retelling of his life when I was growing up. It got me a little bitter about how his message has been co-opted by those who would rather not reconcile that there's...

    I love this channel. Last of the Mohicans and Heat are on my 90s Essentials rewatch list with the older daughter. I don't know if she could sit through The Insider. I wonder if their version of Thief will be the full release that's coming out in March.
