I’m sorry but I never want to watch another video of anyone doing any kind of X-treme jumping from cliffs, mountaintops, supertall bridges…no more skydiving or flying-squirrel gliding or free-falling or parachuting or bungee-jumping…I’m imaging that I’ve watched hundreds of these things and henceforth am only interested in wipe-out scenarios, which of course I’m being facetious about as I wouldn’t wish injury or tragedy upon anyone…it’s just the relentless sameness, the monotony, the repetition, the X-treme plague of it all.

It’s Not Just What You’re Seeing
…but where and whom you’re seeing it with.
Strange How Physical Media Impulse Buys
…will suddenly happen out of nowhere. In a twinkling of a batted eyelash, they just seem right and natural and immutably decreed.
Christie’s Withdrawal Will Boost Haley’s Support
Nikki Haley’s statement about pardoning Trump was disgusting. She and Ron DeSantis can go to hell. Chris Christie was the best of them — a blunt-spoken classic Republican who talked straight and plain about The Beast and the horrific threat he poses.
All Hail DGA Noms for Payne, Lanthimos
And a tough break for Maestro’s Bradley Cooper, who absolutely delivered a more dynamic, reach-for-the-skies dazzler than…well. Scorsese anyway. KOTFM is a reasonably good film, but it saddles us with an idiot and drags on and on. HE commenter Mike: “Scorsese is [one of the five] because his film is about indigenous struggle.”
Inexplicable Charles Melton Momentum Stalls Out with SAG Nominations…Sigh of Relief
May December has been snubbed, snubbed, snubbed by the SAG Awards nominations. It’s not that I’ve been against Charles Melton as much as unable to understand the bizarre enthusiasm for his sufficient but no-great-shakes performance by Gotham Award suck-ups, New York Film Critics Circle, etc. Now, alas, it’s all gone south. No SAG-AFTRA support, no Oscar nom.
Is Stiller Rugged & Brawny Enough To Play Mailer?
And how, by the way, does director Andrew (All Of Us Strangers) Haigh fit into this? Curious trio. If this was my show I’d have Stiller and Farrell switch roles.
Clayton’s Oscar Ballot Picks
…based primarily on merit, depth, artistic distinction.
HE 100% agrees in the matter of Jeffrey Wright’s American Fiction performance.
Actual Oppie Looked Like a Human Being
…eyes that seemed alert and perceptive but also warm and a bit vulnerable as opposed to the chilly, frozen-eyed, alien-from-Tralfamadore features of Cillian Murphy.
Yes, I’ve finally borrowed “American Prometheus”…better late than never.
