Oh my god. Read this whole thing if you want to be borderline despondent on the state of prestige cinema LMAO
The worst part is she votes for The Shape of Water in almost every category, but doesn’t even consider Octavia Spencer for best supporting actress in that movie because she thinks Octavia is acting the same role in every movie? Which isn’t true and just seems so much like an excuse.
And she keeps dissmissing Get Out in every category it is nominated in. She keeps saying it’s not oscar worthy.
She also isn’t voting for coco because she said the theater (for a kids movie) was full of noisy kids.
“How do I explain, as comprehensively as possible, that I’m racist, without admitting I’m racist?”
“artists dont work for the love of art anymore, they just rely on commissions and patrons”
this is how art has literally always been the fucking sistine chapel is commissioned fanart of the bible
Not only was the Sistine Chapel Bible fanart, but the Vatican looked at Michaelangelo’Cathedral commission listing and saw that it said: Will do: Marble sculpture Would prefer not to do: Painting
And commissioned him for a giant ass painting. Like yeah, we think of Michaelangelo as a painter, but it’s because the church kept paying him to paint. He thought he wasn’t that great at it. He preferred to sculpt. Like that was his jam. But noooooo the church wanted more paintings.
wow how Wacky is it that artists demand payment for labor given via a desirable skill, it’s almost like it’s a fucking job
The Computer Room is such a weird concept nowadays but growing up in the 90s/00s we really had a whole ass room dedicated to our computer. Anthropologists 1000 years from now are gonna think we worshiped computers so much we had shrine rooms for them
to help with decision making when going on a date, my bf and i created a list of 20 restaurants we like. 1 being ihop (as a joke, neither of us actually like ihop), 20 being our favorite steakhouse, with the rest in no particular order. we roll a d20 and go to the corresponding place
after i wrote the list down, he goes “roll it, let’s go to dinner tomorrow night!” i got excited, he got a die out, and i fucking CRIT FAILED and now we’re FORCED to go to ihop tomorrow because both of us are too stubborn to back out omg
im currently on the phone with him and im saying “what time you wanna go” and he’s all “to ihop? what time are we going to ihop?” omg he just keeps saying ihop to emphasize how dumb we are
