Everyone pray for me. I'm having my wisdom teeth surgery tomorrow. 

 

Surgery is done. Now to do nothing but binge This Is Us and eat pudding and ice cream.

That sounds like a good way to spend the day.

'Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri'  won Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Screenplay – Motion Picture and Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama.

 

Film Twitter is already yelling about how unfair this is, how bad the movie is, how misogynistic, racist and wrong the movie is about everything.

 

I don't get it.

 

93% on Rotten Tomatoes - Average Rating: 8.5/10

87 on Metacritic

8.4 on IMDB

Shot in the dark here but I'm gonna go with the fact that some people don't like the movie.

Unless it's Lady Bird lol. What could anyone get upset over re: that movie? Serious question.

Three Billboards along with the Post is the only major BP contender I've seen flat out left out critic group top ten lists at points. It has its share of haters. I think with the way balloting works Lady Bird or Get Out is taking it, but I've been wrong before. 3B and Shape are both the kind of things that are popular with every branch.

It's kinda amusing to me that Natalie Portman is getting a ton of flack for calling out the all-male Best Director line-up at all. Could she have handled it better without coming across as a slap in the face to the people nominated? Probably. But not addressing an issue at all because it'll make everyone "uncomfortable" is never a good way to go about it.

Indian...always...

 

(Now, Chinese is good, but tends to degrade faster as a takeout item, but those Indian curries...mmmm...good at any temp)...

I thought it was great how she decided to release Annihilation that early.

I'm seeing more positive feedback to her. I loved that moment.

Most funny backlash, I'm seeing against justin Timberlake.

Yeah, I loved it and she's getting a ton of praise for it, but of course the MRAs of the Internet are going "how dare she!" Idiots.
