The ones I’ve watched since the Oscar nods were announced:
The Substance - It was ok but I think it could have been better by being more subtle. But that’s not really the point of body horror, I suppose. Still a bit surprised it’s a Best Picture nom, but not mad about it.
A Real Pain - I loved it and wish it earned a Best Pic nod.
Juror No. 2 - Meh. The days of being floored by an Eastwood movie seem to be in the past. I know this isn’t nominated for anything, nor should it.
Also watched American Beauty for the first time in ages, this time with our university-age son. #awkward? I really liked that movie when it was released but it was a bit of a rough rewatch. Junior was not impressed.
Seems like the squad is just a JCS away from being optimal (for what we have on the books, anyway). Today’s lineup seems right. We have true reinforcements (Saito, Kolli, Lloyd) off the bench, and I’m glad Cook and Morrison have made strides to be involved in some capacity. Feels like a 2-1 win that is more comfortable than the scoreline indicates.
Graham runs polls, which is harder to do on Bluesky but fun all the same. We like a lot of the same stuff (Cure, Smiths, DMode, etc.).
James does a lot of themed posts over several days, grouped with a hashtag. He caught my attention last January on X, when he encouraged users to post an album-closing song every day that month. At the end, he tallied all the songs that appeared in posts with the hashtag, and made a playlist of the most popular ones. Here's the rundown of my choices: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/02QjGD6i9JuKwclDWk0DPg
I'll do that when my balance has some odd change attached. If I lose, the account has a nice even number; if I win, well, I'll have another weird wager to make the next time around.
