After Buzzfeed inevitably posted how incredible this looked, I replied by saying if this was four men instead of four women, they'd be trashing it. The Buzzfeed crowd didn't like that I called them on their bull.

It doesn't make you less of a feminist to say a bad trailer from a woman-centric movie is bad.

Watched Room last night--really good.

After having seen most of the best picture noms, at least the ones i wanna see (with the exception of the Big Short), i dont see how Spotlight won. Not taking anything away from it, but it's the second worst of the bunch, imo, right after Bridge of Spies.

Basically, here is how i'd rank the noms:
-The Revenant
-Mad Max
-Room
-The Martian
-Spotlight
-Bridge of Spies

I dont care to see Brooklyn and i havent seen the Big Short yet, but im gonna go out on a limb and say it'll be near the top.

I didn't even know you could comment on Buzzfeed.

Looks like someone (me, dummies) has a new hobby!

How many o's does it take in 'so' to really get across that I think something is cute?

Creed...good but not great. I think the snub talk is a little overblown. A best picture snub perhaps these days, but definitely wouldnt even be considered when the field was only open to 5 movies.

Coogler, i think should have gotten a nod for best director though.

Every once in a while something comes along where I seem to be on an island and I truly don't get it. I couldn't even get through 30 minutes of Mad Max. It just laughable to me. I truly don't understand what people see in that, but I know I'm in the minority. In fact, I didn't even get it at all. I had no clue what was going on. Just bizarre.
