Re: Best Screenplay 1971
I wonder if, considering the current mindset, Sunday Bloody Sunday was remade today, that the age difference between the two male characters would be a bigger issue than the bisexuality.

Re: Trump & 18 Others Charged in Georgia RICO Indictment
Fani Willis, the Atlanta DA prosecuting Trump and 18 co-defendants, just filed a motion to change the trial date for all 19 from March 2024, her original request date, to October 23, 2023.

Re: Best Picture and Director 1977
. . . the music branch at that point was strictly ballad-land (maybe it still is). . . "Naatu Naatu" is hardly a ballad. Regarding 1977, the big surprise for me was that, even though it was not really a ballad, "New York, New York" was not even nominated for Best Original Song. ...

Re: Oppenheimer reviews

Re: New Developments III
Ron DeSantis has an ad where he attacks Trump for being too pro-LGBTQ. It has video of DeSantis intercut with video of shirtless-oiled body builders. Okay. . .
