I’ve watched all 97 Best Picture winners and now, before Sinners or One Battle After Another (presumably) joins their ranks this Sunday, I went long on which Best Picture winners deserve a bit more love than they get.

Added to this are the multitude of very boring and nondescript movies throughout Hanson’s career. Wright’s bombs and successes are at least interesting in equal measure

Got rear-ended in traffic earlier, no damage. Guy (Ukrainian i think) said we could call the guards if I wanted. I said no need. He was hugely relieved, almost emotional. We hip-hop hugged, he apologised and we drove away. About the best I’ve felt about an interaction with a stranger in a long time

The Pete’s Dragon adaptation that David Lowery directed is lowkey good! Just don’t talk to me about that HIDEOUS Peter Pan & Wendy movie, which David Lowery also directed

Jeremy Allen White really is living the actor’s dream. Imagine playing a trifecta of characters as incredible as Bruce Springsteen, Kerry von Erich and Jabba the Hutt’s buff son

This one feels strange mostly cause there was a popular movie about him released just 3 years ago starring a person who most 19 year olds will know

Hey here’s a neat idea I don’t give a fuck what Ben Shapiro thinks about anything and you shouldn’t be (re)posting his dog rectum face onto my timeline

Took some time this morning and finally watched The Voice of Hind Rajab, as devastating of a movie as I’ve ever seen, made all the worse by the fact that 160 girls in and around her age were murdered while at school in Iran last week. A truly broken world

When you realise that people like that are the “shepherds” of your faith, it’s pretty hard to maintain. Maybe it’s not the same everywhere but it’s sure as shit my experience with the church

I realised that a large proportion of Irish priests truly lack humility. They’re men who enjoy lecturing others and holding people’s hope in their hands to crush or validate as they see fit

The Ryan Report really did it (i was 14) but on a smaller scale, it was the priest of my father’s home parish. Two separate incidents:
1. Used my grandfather’s anniversary mass homily for a homophobic tirade
2. Told my uncle his kidney transplant “wouldn’t take” cause he sensed bad energy from it

I recall a college flatmate’s American cousin staying on our couch for a full week and on the Friday i came back from lectures and says to him “jaysus man yano we’ve no oil here?” and when he whinged to my flatmate, he told him to dry up t’fuck

Ultimately i feel like every resident of this island has a duty to upset one American tourist so much that they make a “woe is me” TikTok that everyone makes fun of

The real question is would they cover the 8 episode Mussolini miniseries on main feed
