If you see evil, kill it. Not talk about how great it could be.

My biggest observation was during the “Mean Tweets” portion when Robert DeNiro basically told his fans to ‘f’ off. Seems so typical of Hollywood these days, that is, their disdain for the fly-over fans who (perhaps) voted for Trump.

The ‘Best Picture” SNAFU –and its whole cringe-worthy-ness — pretty much made the evening for me. I hope they all drop dead.

I don’t care what the narcissistic holyweird posers spout or how they awarded themselves. I have zero interest in what they wore to their self love feast. They re 10 billion light years from reality experienced on Main Street flyover country. And they remain stupid as to why we cling to our guns, Clueless.

The producers, cast and crew of La La Land now know how Hillary felt.

Then I can get my money’s worth with repeated viewings. And even then, I like to get movies with a good, sweeping feel to them, and an actor or actress that I personally favor.

This year’s Best Picture, “Moonlight” (a drama about gay black people) is the sort of thing I would watch if it was broadcast on TV, and even then I would be working on other things while it was on. And it makes you wonder how well that movie will hold up, a few years from now.

It’s also instructive to look back on some past winners for Best Picture, and consider what you might like for repeat viewings:

Ben-Hur (1959)
Rocky (1976)
Gladiator (2000)

Are you not entertained?

Somewhat cerebral sci-fi, but more than that, too. Sorry I didn’t get to see it a second time while it was still in theaters. Recommended.

“I would like to see you get an Oscar, anyway. Why can’t we just give out a whole bunch of them?”

In other words, let’s turn the Oscars into participation trophies.

That’s a remarkably low bar for a designer, though. I do think the dress is nice, though, and it’d be attractive on just about anyone.

Theater actors have to deal with all sorts of mishaps and figure out a way through it without everything falling apart.

And he’s also old and slow.
