NATHANIEL R in Ava DuVernay, Avengers: Infinity War, Beanie Feldstein, I Tonya, Lady Bird, Oscars (17), Tiffany Haddish, Twitter, comedy

Three truths.

We were grossly misusing the phrase “Our long national nightmare is over” before this

Thinking about movies right now feels terribly frivolous and also one of the few things keeping me sane.

This Tiffany Haddish backlash is weird proof that people love Oscar bait more than they want to admit.

— Sam Coffey (@SamCoffey72) December 1, 2017

so sad but all true observations. The latter I've noticed in social discussions so many times. Okay on to funnier or at least less depressing things after the jump including more Tiffany Haddish, Captain America's beard, Lady Bird, Ava DuVernay being inspiring (what else is new), and so on...

Also if Tiff Haddish gets an Oscar nomination even more people will watch Girls Trip and realize that REGINA HALL SHOULD BE AS BIG AS SANDRA BULLOCK.

COMEDIC PERFORMANCES DESERVE EQUAL, SOMETIMES EVEN MORE RECOGNITION THAN DRAMATIC ONES!

Wow, if Tiffany Haddish won Best Supporting Actress this year, it'd be the first performance to win with an airborne urination scene and blowjob simulation since Ethel Barrymore in 'None But the Lonely Heart' ('44).

This whole Spacey/Plummer All the Money in the World thing forces us to ask an important question: why, when elderly actors exist in this world, do we ever need to cast younger actors and bury them in weird makeup? pic.twitter.com/qM0Iq3GdDY

If you haven’t seen Greta Gerwig’s Ladybird I highly reccomend you do. It’s a great movie . All the actors are amazing, but most of all my sister, best friend and hero, Beanie Feldstein.

Clockwise:
- brother/sister
- platonic best friends who kissed once and then immediately broke into a mutual laughing fit
- second-chance-at-love couple you're ~really~ rooting for
- second-generation existential detectives from 'I Still Heart Huckabees' pic.twitter.com/nZ8SYo3UCA

If gays actually ran entertainment, Shania Twain's "That Don't Impress Me Much" video would be adapted into a six-part miniseries starring Michelle Pfeiffer.

You are allowed to have a mini-wedding for your salt and pepper shakers and then make them kiss. It's normal.

I think the fastest-moving film of the year is the Tonya Harding movie "I, Tonya." At least the DVD moved fast when I flung it across the room.

this morning I chose to eat pears instead of peaches so maybe I didn't love CALL ME BY YOUR NAME enough?

I haven't done much work today... unless watching the INFINITY WAR trailer 50 times counts.

Everyone's talking about Cap's beard in the new trailer but I didn't see her?? pic.twitter.com/CaKxkEqu3L
