Is Griff funny? -
Vic Sage wrote: depending on how you define horror, you could also include JAWS (1975) and SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991). No horror film has won BEST PICTURE ... Well, The Silence of the Lambs won. You don't really have to stretch any definitions to file it under horror at all. And it not only won best picture, but became only the third film to sweep all five major categories.

Me too. Crossed it off this week.

This is a decade old and I'm probably the last one to see this. A giant starship comes to earth and mysteriously stops over Johannesburg, South Africa. After waiting for something to happen, officials cut into the ship to find a malnourished population of aliens warming themselves around the alien equivalent of oil drum fires. The aliens are moved to a relocation camp in a neglected district of town, and ten years later they are living in poverty and degradation in a situation that's clearly meant to parallel South Africa's black townships under Apartheid. In documentary style, they tell the tale of a shadowy multinational corporation subjugating and exploiting the aliens and the weakling middle-level manager who gets caught in between. A joint US/South African/Kiwi production. https://img.moviepostershop.com/district-9-movie-poster-2009-1010540181.jpg>

Among the writing staff, Tom McCarthy only gets a "Story By" credit (one of three), but his fingerprints are seemingly all over it.

The thing is that it was supposedly a great year for films, but between what I've seen in the theatres, and what my download services have been offering me, I ain't quite seeing it.

Apparently, I only get out to the theatre for first-run entertainment for kidz fare for grownups. " Black Panther Ant-Man and the Wasp Avengers: Infinity War Incredibles 2 Mission: Impossible – Fallout

One of the oldest plots in the book. Two song-and-dance men are killing it in a partnership until a female joins the act and comes between them.

I don't know I would guess we had a surplus of retired generals and colonels by 1954, and didn't always know what to do with them. They're not all as brilliant as John Kelly.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: I liked Holiday Inn better, even though the story in White Christmas made more sense. That's not a bad summation, even though White Christmas doesn't have a blackface sequence. ("Who was it set dem darkies free?!") On the other hand, it does have the hilariously awful "Snow!" song. The "old man" general whose late-life dignity Bing Crosby was trying to secure was, of course, the same age as Crosby.

My wife remarked about how much Rosemary Clooney looked like her nephew George, and now I can't stop seeing George Clooney in drag.

I would consider it more of a George Lucas initiative than a Marvel initiative. But yeah, the only big screen Marvel character before that I can think of is a bunch Captain America single reel serials from World War II.

I'm certain that there will indeed be a slate of high-profile rock biopics. Rocketman is due in Summer 2019, and if they get two hits out of two, there will be so many put into development that they will still be coming out years after folks have stopped buying. Strangely, contemporary rock 'n' roll is scarcely marketable at all, but rock 'n' roll rehashes (films, Broadway shows, wheelchair tours, hologram tours ...) couldn't be more lucrative.

Is this going to incorporate songs into the narrative to try to Mamma Mia it up? Because, while I'd enjoy seeing something like a faithful dramatization of Queen's story, I'm not that interested in seeing a Queen (and I imagine it's going to be 90% Freddy) jukebox musical.

About 92% of that award was earned in the first half of the year, though. What do you think? Is this guy bound for the rotation or the pen? On the one hand, it was his conversion to starter in college that launched him from dark horse into first-round status. On the other hand, his poor second half brings back questions about his durability.
-
Dunnie is a tough call for the rotation or the bullpen. He didn't up his stock to anything like first-round level until he moved to the rotation in college, but his blistering first half followed by a weak second half this season brought back concerns about his durability.

Just to clarify, is this a good way or a bad way to be raising a kid? [youtube:35c3lhvn]pzXL-KM2UqU[/youtube:35c3lhvn]

Of course, Namor can be kind of a dick.

Jubilee has appeared in a few of the X-Men films, though I don't tend to watch those. She has been portrayed by Katrina Florece, Kea Wong, and Lana Condor.

There was an Asian-Asgardian who was part of Thor's pack, who stood tall in Ragnorok before getting killed by Cate Blanchett. There are two (or one and half, maybe) Asian-Americans in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. One of them (or the half) is even super-powered. Some second-generation folks have been Asian-American in the comic bookz. A latter-day Hulk was a Chinese-American named Amadeus Cho. I think the mantle of Batwoman was taken on by an Asian-American. Silk is a Korean-American who also got bitten by Peter Parker's spider. The X-Men had Japanese dude Sunfire, who nobody liked, and Jubilee, the daughter of Chinese immigrants in California. She has been mostly pretty popular, as she sort of first appeared as sort of a Mary Sue character. Psylocke the psionic started off as a Brit, but ended up Asian-American after the psyche entered a nu body or something.
