1. #MartinScorsese is nominated for #TheIrishman, a complex, reflective, autumnal, essential film. In more than 50 years of making movies, Scorsese has been awarded one statuette for directing, earned for #TheDeparted. bit.ly/pgratedblog #Oscars2020 #OscarNoms
2. You also could argue with the Academy voters over “Mean Streets,” for which Scorsese wasn’t even nominated. #Oscars2020 #OscarNoms #MeanStreets #Scorsese
3. But, rather focus on the regrettable, toast the artist with a cocktail that’s appropriately powerful and splashed with red: Two ounces very chilled vodka, one ounce of Campari, a splash of cherry liqueur (optional), one half-ounce grapefruit juice, stirring all.
4. Call it a “Marty.” #drink #cocktail #vodka #campari #toast #Oscars2020 #liqueur

And now, for something completely different—but is it?—an essay on #TheIrishman and my stepfather. “What Mr. Scorsese did, in effect, was to place Mr. Sheeran in Chuckie’s role in Mr. Hoffa’s life.” nyti.ms/39wFpwe
“Mr. Scorsese has done something similar — not by listening in illegally and publishing humiliating truths, as the F.B.I. did, but by usurping Chuckie’s relationship with Mr. Hoffa, giving it to someone else and then broadcasting the untruth.”
“Hollywood could turn a monkey into a peanut,” Chuckie told me. “That’s their business. They don’t care about the truth. It’s entertainment. The guy who bought the ticket isn’t going to write a letter complaining about the truth if he is fascinated by the movie.”

Eleven reasons to think that Frank Sheeran (played by DeNiro in the new film, #TheIrishman) did *not* kill Jimmy Hoffa on July 30, 1975, as the film portrays. (Factual support for statements below are in articles at end of thread.)
1/ There is no direct evidence, none, to place Sheeran in Detroit on 7/30, or to support other elements of his confession, including that he killed Hoffa. And there is lots of evidence that undermines the confession.
2/ The FBI has Sheeran on tape in 1978 telling a close criminal associate that he didn’t kill Hoffa & was not even in Detroit on July 30, 1975. Sheeran discussed alibi evidence on the tape (gas receipts and witnesses at dinner, all in another state), which he later gave to FBI.

One Day You May Have To Pick Up A Sword newswithviews.com/one-day-you-ma…
Come on folks! The handwriting is on the wall. The tealeaves have all been read. There is no way to peacefully and amicably heal the irreconcilable differences between the left and the right and the liberal and the conservative.
We are hopelessly divided by rich and poor, race, gender, class warfare, economics, immigration and health care. The gap is far too wide to close and divorce is imminent.

Few thoughts on movies I really liked at @MumbaiFilmFest this year:
#LesMiserables:
Has to be the most powerful film of the year! Think of films like La Haine, Do The Right Thing and Training Day. A tense cop thriller set in Paris Suburbia with an explosive last act that you aren't prepared for. A solid debut from Ladj Ly!
#Bacurau:
The only thing I read about the film before watching was that it's a Brazilian western and someone said it's Brazil's version of Lagaan. I can say that's true with this film that plays out like a Kurosawa/John Carpenter mash up and it's damn entertaining!

I have some thoughts on Gremlins 2, demonology, Oedipal robots, the Chthulucene, Jay-Z’s wardrobe, Hobbes’ Leviathan, commodity fetishism, the Leather Daddy Gremlin, Key and Peele, feedback loops, John Carpenter, Toy Story, and Hyper-Gremlinization. (1/51)
Yes I am being 100% serious, as always. We will begin by examining the idea of the Gremlin, the foundation of all worthwhile Gremlins 2 Studies. (2/51)
In a recent post, I quoted Mark Fisher's analysis on the Gremlin (passages included here for convenience). To Fisher, the Gremlin is the result of a self-correcting circuit that appears to take on a mind of it's own. In the original popular myth, the gremlin controlled … (3/51)
