I think Fiennes was robbed of the Oscar for his role in Grand Budapest Hotel

One of the great cinematography scenes is the scene at the refugee center (was it?) with the war happening all around them. It was just exquisite filmmaking.
Tarantino shows it every Christmas season at The New Beverly Theater because it is in fact a Christmas movie.

Watched the Kennedy Center Awards last night. Thought the whole thing was well presented and performed. Particularly touching was the Bonnie Raite tribute and the Apollo Theater.

I love Brandi and I love Bonnie but Brandi shouldn’t be allowed near a Bonnie song. Bonnie I saw last fall in ABQ and she still has it. Brandi is still a top 3 concert for me.

The Six Triple Eight. Just imagine serving your country while suffering racial and gender discrimination. Sigh…

Ah, thank goodness that’s all in the bygone days of America’s past. /s

My letterbox review: “ Emilia Pérez swings for the fences with its wild blend of musical numbers, cartel drama, and a dash of gender politics, and I respect the ambition. But man, those tropes—it’s like they dumped the script in a bucket of clichés and said, “Yeah, this’ll do.” Still, I can see it finding its tribe among folks who love a messy, over-the-top spectacle. It’s bold, it’s weird, and while it’s not for everyone, it’s got a certain swagger you can’t help but root for.”
Probably my fav Zoe Saldaña film. Karla Gascón is a star.

Watched Red One with the kids tonight. Wasn’t nearly as bad as I expected, was decently entertained for a couple hours.

We’ve been watching Rogue Heroes. Entertaining, and not entirely accurate history of the founding of the SAS, but enjoyable nonetheless.

I watched it recently as well. They took some literary liberties, but it was entertaining.
Oh, and sand dune jumps suck.
I’m attempting to watch today’s NFL games through Netflix.
Unfortunately, the Netflix app through Comcast shows that the Chiefs/Steelers game is “coming soon” (the game is currently at halftime). Netflix will only let me set a reminder to watch it and won’t actually show the live broadcast, because their app thinks the game hasn’t started yet.
