The only hothouse flower among the current Best Picture contenders, arguably, is Sarah Polley’s Women Talking, and we all know that hayloft talkathon never had a snowball’s chance in hell — it was nominated purely for the sake of #MeToo tokenism.

…there’ll be hell to pay. Just saying. Word around the campfire says James Mangold’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla (biopic of Priscilla Presley) will also make the Côte d’Azur journey. They’d better!

It took me too long to watch Josh Seftel's Stranger at the Gate, a 26-minute doc that's been nominated for a Best Documentary Short Film Oscar.

I was sometimes a rebellious and hair-trigger type during my senior year in Wilton High School. I goofed around, was given detention a few times. I was busted for smoking once in the men's room, and also in the women's room.

Sam Smith, 30, is the king of the world…a perfect person wearing nipple tassels. The only problem is that he’s put on too much weight. I liked him more when he was slender and dark-haired.

Robert Altman‘s The Long Goodbye (’74), 4:03:

Marty Augustine (Mark Rydell): And I understand you…you’re nervous.
Phillip Marlowe (Elliott Gould): I’m not nervous.
Augustine: Yes, you are. You’re nervous like I am. When I was a kid in high school [and] I used to dread gym class. Absolutely dread it.
Marlowe: Why was that?
Augustine: Because I didn’t have any pubic hair until I was 15 years old.
Marlowe: Oh, yeah? You musta looked like one of three little pigs.

Aaron Sorkin‘s “reimagined” production of Camelot begins previews begin on 3.9.23. The official opening happens on Thursday, 4.13.23. Andrew Burnap as Arthur, Phillipa Soo as Guinevere and Jordan Donica as Lancelot. Not quite on the level of Richard Burton, Julie Andrews and Robert Goulet, are they?

The question is “why?” — why would Sorkin want to fiddle around with a 63-year-old Lerner & Loewe musical that came to be known as a metaphor for the JFK years? What’s the point?
