    Official 2024 Oscar Nominations And Discussion Thread

    Even when I was young, I was out of step with what was popular and I've heard maybe five Billie Eilish songs so what do I know but I think she's popular as a performer because there's a truth to her singing her songs. She's certainly not going to come out like Elton John or Freddy Mercury and...

    Or they're coming back as is reasonable to expect today. I don't know the specifics but I'd bet that football is probably the only thing that can reliably pull 20 million viewers in the modern TV ratings landscape. Yes, it's nowhere near where it used to be but the world has changed.

    I'm seeing Poor Things tomorrow. It's no surprise to me that The Holdovers and Killers aren't doing anything because they're a couple of months old and are already on streaming (no need to pay to see a movie when the studio has devalued it by giving it away for free).
