SNL used to be a masterpiece each week. It’s a complete joke now.
ReplyWatched this last night…….loved the opening skit and the plane one and WU. My grade: B+
You are being way too generous.
ReplyYou know…it’s saying something when the best cast members are the two newbies and just Kate and Kenan. I mean, good god tonight’s episode was bad. They need new writers that can still be funny in this PC world as much of an oxymoron as that sounds. And honestly, most of the cast should be replaced. This is a bad group.
ReplyI agree with Casey Affleck. Denzel acted circles around him. That August Wilson dialogue is insanely difficult and both him and Viola gave masterclass performances. Also, Yalitza really wasn’t great. Cuarón filmed half the film with her back to the camera for a reason.
I actually really liked Yalitza’s performance. The fact that she wasn’t an actress and was a teacher when she signed up for the role made her performance so raw and pure to me. I loved that Alfonso Cuaron cast her actual best friend in the movie to play her best friend. It made the performance much more real. Yalitza wasn’t comfortable with the nudity so Cuaron filmed the nude scene and Yalitza separately. But she’s from a small village so it’s understandable. Marina de Tavira is absolutely phenomenal in Roma so I’m so glad she got the oscar nomination last year. Her performance also aided Yalitza a lot, as actors feed off of one another so she had a big part of Yalitza’s beach scene with her crying that she never wanted the baby that she lost.
My most overrated performances are mostly all Julia Roberts and Jennifer Lawrence performances, sorry Kellis! (The Joy nom was a joke and she should not have beat Jessica Chastain in 2013, who was nominated for Zero Dark Thirty). Gwyneth Paltrow winning the Oscar for Shakespeare in Love over Cate Blanchett for Elizabeth still bugs me. Honestly, same with the Judi Dench win that year but unfortunately, that was at the height of the Weinstein campaigning fiasco. As much as I love Meryl Streep, I felt that her performance in The Post should not have been nominated for an Oscar and was pure Oscar bait. The nomination that year should have gone to Vicky Krieps for Phantom Thread. Lastly, Emma Stone’s win for the literal Hollywood handjob, La La Land. Her performance was nothing special and the award should have gone to Isabelle Huppert for Elle who delivered such a complex and deep performance.
ReplyI loved episode 2. Short in length and yet I still felt I got everything I needed from the episode. Oh, and yes, baby Yoda is total cuteness overload. I have spoken.
Here are my predictions for the next Golden Globes : Drama Series Game of Thrones Succession The Crown Big Little Lies Killing Eve
I don’t see Game of Thrones getting in for Series. I think the Emmys was their first and last award show for the season.
I just finished the 4th episode. Regina King is amazing but Jean Smart and Jeremy Irons are stealing the show so far. I cannot wait to finish the season. Awesome show.
ReplyThe problem with Disney + is that it’s only kids movies and series. Nothing for adult. Netflix is still way better for older audience.
Disney+ has a Hulu and ESPN add-on for $12.99, which is what I pay monthly for Netflix. It’s still getting the older audiences.
ReplyRicky Gervais has been announced as host.
The first episode was great!! Can’t wait to watch more.
Replyellen just doesn’t seem to care enough about anything these days, like anything at all I suppose graham norton will be fabulous, but I doubt he’d take the offer if one was to be made
Oh my gosh, YES to graham.
ReplyHow anyone voted for Spacey is beyond me. His performances are mediocre at best and he raped a young boy. I’m good if I never see his name again.
ReplyI’d take hostless over Seth McFarlane, James Franco, Jimmy Kimmel, or to be brutally honest Ellen, but maybe it’s because we haven’t had a good host in a long time that we think hostless is viable. This year’s was a mess, and the right host can elevate the Oscars quite a lot.
I actually loved Jimmy Kimmel’s hosting gig in 2017. 2018… not so much. Ellen’s always been great but I doubt they will have a host. PC culture has scared them all away.
