    Elvis and All Quiet. We will see Avatar, Fabelmans, Banshees and Wverything Everywhere eventually.

      All Quiet was amazing.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            Eva Longoria's boobs are asymmetrical.

            Right lower than left.

              Yes it was. The two leads danced with not only exceptional skill, but unbridled joy.

              No idea what it was from.

                  I didn't know it was today until I just saw this thread.

                  It is a shame they have to do it with a day that only has 23 hours.

                      I love movies. Love. Haven’t had much time recently to watch but did see Top Gun. Very fun, worthy if there was an Oscar for “reminding folks why going to the movies is worth it” but otherwise not really an award worthy movie.

                      Used to watch the Oscar’s religiously. Last few years I’ve stopped (didn’t even know it was on today) because of the politicization and holier than thou statements.

                        No, TGII was just the original literally remade. Its vacuousness reminded me of parts of Picard and Discovery.

                        Still a fun movie to see on the big screen.

                          So far, not too much of that (though I didn't hear Kimmel's monologue).

                          The most popular "in word" seems to be "diverse," FWIW.

                            All Quiet on the Western Front is fantastic. I also saw Top Gun.

                            First I ever heard of the winning movie was this morning

                                  Yep. But best seen in the theater and it's one of the few 3D movies I ever saw, that kinda worked.

                                      That’s unsustainable because identifying as black is, and will always be, third rail. I think the CRT mob actually has some hand waving justification for why identifying as different skin colors is wrong, while identifying as different genders is ok.

                                      Education is extremely important.

                                          That’s unsustainable because identifying as black is, and will always be, third rail. I think the CRT mob actually has some hand waving justification for why identifying as different skin colors is wrong, while identifying as different genders is ok.

                                          I would still like to know what the dividing line is for black? 25%? Does it make a difference what the other 75% is? 75% Caucasian, no deal. 50% Caucasian, 25% black, 25% Hispanic and you're in?
