Does anyone watch these inane awards shows? I can’t think of anything I care less about. The only thing that would make me care about the Oscars is if there was an earthquake during the show. Not a deadly one, just a nice tremor to set off the panic in the room. As everyone there believes themselves to be the most important person to ever be born, the free-for-all stampede for the exits would look like the running of the bulls. These narcissists would trample their own mothers to get out of there. :P
I heard a medical reporter on NPR who put some perspective around this new corona virus outbreak. Just by the numbers the hysteria is pretty out of whack, but this guy said that the new virus has a fatality rate around 2% (compared to the regular strains of flu, it’s about 10 times higher). And he said it’s more readily transmissible than the other strains.
So yeah, a lot more people die each year from regular flu – but a whole lot more people get it every year.
Living 100+ miles from a movie theater, not to mention they always crank volume up loud enough to blow up my hearing aids, have to wait till films make it to TV or rental.

No, it’s even scarier than that…It’s about the state of US politics!

Parasite should not have been eligible for both Best Foreign Film and Best Picture.
One or the other – pick one.
Shouldn’t have been able to give them both.
It cheated out a lot of other great candidates for each in my opinion.

I thought that was a biography about Trump?
