this would––and I cannot express this enough––be absolutely catastrophic for the public reputation of what very easily could actually be the best film of 2023.

starting to feel like there's a non-zero chance The Zone of Interest could pull off the wildest upset in Oscar history and win Best Picture. i'm trash at predicting awards/not delusional enough to think it *will* happen, but with the odds at +5000 i'd bet a few dollars. anyway.

Rob Reiner did the following films in succession: Stand By Me. Princess Bride. When Harry Met Sally. Misery. A Few Good Men. There is no better 5 movie run.

@PetreRaleigh honestly I just don’t answer the phone if I don’t know who’s calling and am not expecting a call. Even if (especially if) it says something like Amazon—I figure if it’s important they’ll email me

she looks like a corrupt senator that Mon Mothma would have a steely tête-à-tête with in an episode of Andor

Of course, it’s nice everyone noting how wonderful and happy she looks. But it’s hard not to see her and think that, in a just world, this should be her State Dinner in the 8th year of her presidency.
