I’m hoping the Drafthouse brings Triangle of Sadness back for a small run. If that happens, go! It’s FANTASTIC seen with an audience.

We watched Tar last night. It is now both my and my wife's least favorite movie ever -- just complete dog shit.
After about 20 minutes, I said, "This is far and away the most pretentious movie I've ever seen." (I mean, the full fucking credits are at the beginning of the movie.) She agreed and asked if we should cut our losses and turn it off. We chose poorly and kept watching.
There's no fucking plot. That's OK if you're doing a biopic of a historical figure (like Elvis), but you cannot do a biopic of a fictional character. There also seemed to be virtually no editing whatsoever -- there were about 5 times where I stopped the movie and asked, "What was the fucking point of that scene?" and the answer each time from the wife was "I have no idea."
It's also a personal pet peeve that movies which rely heavily on dream sequences are lazy and poorly-written.
Just fucking terrible. Fuck this movie.
Yeah, I get that. It’s very, very backloaded. I left extremely into it… but the stuff I loved is all in the final 45 min or so.

This is only true of best actress which has been all-white since Halle Berry in 2001. Since 2000 four of the best actor wins have been black and four of the supporting actor wins have been black. If you count Benicio del Toro as POC (I would) then the total is 5 for supporting. For supporting actress there have been 8 POC winners since 2000 and those are all in the last 15 years.
I'd say it's more coincidental than predictive. A lot of POC have been nominated for best actress.
Supporting is a slightly better issue, but I didn’t say supporting. Nor is Michelle Yeoh nominated in supporting. She’s up for Lead Actress, where *checks your notes* exactly one WOC has won this millennium in that category. So, thanks for making my point for me?
(To be clear, I think Cate wins primarily so Tar doesn’t go home empty handed. The film is fantastic, and this looks to be its best chance at a major award. But the overall whiteness of the category’s history isn’t exactly in Michelle’s favor either.)

The Academy does not meet to decide. The voting is done individually not as a group. I believe only academy members from the nominated category vote for
the winnernominees in that category. The exception is the choice for best picture.Too often, people imagine "Hollywood" or the "Academy" as cohesive groups acting in concert. They're really not. Hollywood may have been a cozy village as late as the 40s, but that is long gone.
Academy voters get ballots. There are several special screenings around town so members have an opportunity to see the films on the big screen.
Just an FYI.
Believe me, I understand how the nomination and voting processes works. But if you go back and look at the past few years, they tend to spread the love around, with almost every best pic nominee winning at least one prize.
I’m saying I personally don’t see them blanking Tar this year, but I also can’t really see it winning anywhere else but Best Actress.

I think I have told this story before on here, but I wanted to see if I could live in SoCal so in 2018 I did just that and went to Huntington Beach. I discovered I enjoyed daily life in New York more, but before I left I was registered to vote there. I got to cast a vote that helped send Dana Rohrabacher into a forced early retirement and Rouda took his place. I think he’ll win Porter’s seat if he runs for it. He’s mostly middle of the road and would be a good rep.
This is the equivalent of telling everyone you're moving to NYC, then signing a lease in Staten Island.

Michelle Yeoh will win best actress. I haven’t seen the movie and have no idea if she’s fantastic or terrible, but they’re pushing the “First Asian actress to be nominated”, angle awfully hard. The Academy lives for this stuff these days! Just the world we live in.
The Academy, as of late, really likes to spread the love around and give something to most of the Best Pic nominees. With EEAAO a lock for supporting actor and probably a few other awards, I can't see Tar winning anywhere else besides Best Actress -- so if I had to call it, I'd say Cate wins it. (Both are very worthy winners!)
That, and the Academy has a dismal track record of giving the lead prizes to POC.

Finally got around to this. Holy tits, what a fantastic show. Can't wait for more!

To the moon?
SpoilerRecycLiCo Battery Materials (TSX-V:AMY, OTCQB:AMYZF) Inc said it has delivered samples of its battery-grade lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide to battery manufacturers in Japan and South Korea.
The companies, which are among the top manufacturers in the region, will conduct a technical review of the lithium products and explore potential business partnership opportunities with RecycLiCo.
"We are excited to showcase our recycled lithium products to leading battery manufacturers in Japan and Korea,” said Zarko Meseldzija, CEO and director of RecycLiCo Battery Materials in a statement.
“We believe that our products have the potential to make a significant impact on the lithium market and help address the growing demand for sustainable sources of this critical material," he added.
RecycLiCo's recycled lithium products are produced using a closed-loop process that recovers lithium from end-of-life batteries and battery production scrap.
The company's lithium products have been produced to the stringent purity standards of the battery industry without the use of conventional purification methods, making them a reliable and sustainable alternative to traditional sources of lithium.
RecycLiCo is committed to helping reduce the environmental impact of lithium mining and production. As validated by an independent Life Cycle Assessment, the company's recycled products use significantly less energy and water compared to traditional methods and generate meaningfully fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
"We are proud to be leading the way in the development of sustainable lithium products," noted Meseldzija. "We believe that our recycled lithium has the potential to play a key role in the transition to a low-carbon future."
RecycLiCo Battery Materials is a battery materials company focused on recycling and upcycling lithium-ion battery waste. With minimal processing steps and up to 100% extraction of lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese, the patented, closed-loop hydrometallurgical process creates valuable lithium-ion battery materials for direct integration into the re-manufacturing of new lithium-ion batteries.

He received 142,000+ votes in his district, so I believe that's the reference. But he, uh, left off some crucial zeroes.
