There's so many Irish nominees at the Academy Awards this year I heard they're renaming them the O'Scars
Thanks, you've been a great audience. I'll be here all week. Try the veal!

Probably could have been a great film, but settles for being just a good and interesting one. What starts out seemingly like it's going to be a satire of 80s huckster preachers is more serious than funny, and eventually follows a fairly conventional path where the main character has to learn his lesson. But what are we to take from that? Is the movie saying that God and miracles actually exist? Because, if so, it never really wrestles with the implications of that. It also wastes a talented cast, giving actors like Philip Seymour Hoffman and Liam Neeson not nearly enough to do.
RIP David Lynch
Did I understand this series of web shorts about three sentient rabbits who live in a sitcom hellscape (complete with a laugh track and applause whenever they enter the room), talk in nothing but non sequiturs, and occasionally commune with that appears to be the devil? No, not even a little bit. But this is pretty much a perfect distillation of Lynch's entire aesthetic and worldview. I have no idea if this is a good place for…
Pro: Peter Dinklage got to play the romantic lead and a character where his height was never mentioned
Cons: literally everything else
This is just an absolutely bizarre movie, one where character motivations are almost totally incomprehensible (Anne Hathaway's plot is insane!), plot points are introduced and dropped at random, and nothing matters. It's a spectacular misfire, one where almost every single creative decision is the wrong one, but that almost makes it watchable, sort of like how you can't look away from a car crash.
I love how the coyote eventually becomes that weird friend that the husband keeps inviting over despite how obvious it is that his wife hates him
