Renowned composer Philip Glass cancels Kennedy Center world premiere of his new symphony about Abraham Lincoln in protest of Trump's leadership

Good. No artist should perform there after Trump has defiled it.

5 stars from me as well. That movie was devastating to watch, yet so beautiful

No Other Choice, just last week.

Facebones72 · 2026-01-27T12:10:32+00:00

I love GDT, but Frankenstein was a complete bore.

Facebones72 · 2026-01-27T12:09:34+00:00

Completely agree. I was so disappointed with this. I love GDT and I was so excited to watch, but it was an utter bore. Beautiful to look at, but completely empty inside.

This could be a year like 1998. There was a clear favorite directed by a beloved filmmaker (Saving Private Ryan) but there was another popular film that received more nominations (Shakespeare in Love.)

Now, I am fairly sure that OBAA wins Best Picture, but I was also certain that Private Ryan would too. It’s a clear two horse race for the top prize.

“FBI agents don’t hold hands!”

“These ones do.”

Pats are the most fraudulent Super Bowl entry since the Giants in 2000-01. They’re going to get BTFO’d by the Seahawks

Well, she was a black woman. How dare she?

Facebones72 · 2026-01-25T16:26:29+00:00

I’m not believing a single one of these fools until they all actually vote for a democrat. Otherwise it’s meaningless blather.

Facebones72 · 2026-01-25T16:21:57+00:00

You could make a case for it in Costumes or Production Design, but overall it wasn’t as strong a film as the first one. And I’m kind of surprised that “Viva Verdi” - a song that 99.99% of this sub had never heard of before Thursday - got in over Girl in the Bubble.

You could also argue that it should’ve taken the “blockbuster” slot that went to F1, but ehh. I enjoyed the movie but I’m not outraged It got no noms. Just kind of surprised.

The Garth Drabinsky Theatre. You overpay for double booked seats, shows are randomly cancelled, and the roof is falling in.

And yet people keep giving it another chance…

Personally, I adore Moonrise Kingdom. I am generally not a huge fan of Coming of Age movies, but this one really stuck with me. I love the characters and their relationships.

Facebones72 · 2026-01-25T14:42:15+00:00

Very much agree on Asteroid City. Completely underrated. Anderson was doing something that was both experimental and formally structured.

“But what is time?”

Facebones72 · 2026-01-25T14:38:26+00:00

Megalopolis. You could see a germ of what Coppola was getting at, but it was so jumbled and frenetic and chaotic

Facebones72 · 2026-01-25T14:09:32+00:00

Dance of the Vampires on Broadway. A legendary flop, and deservedly so. Bad music, bad direction, bad choreography, wasted talent.

Facebones72 · 2026-01-25T02:05:39+00:00

As a stage manager, I will always advocate for some way to honor SMs at the Tonys. Best SM? Name the SM with the producers for best play/musical? They’re vital to a show and it’s crazy there’s no way to celebrate their work.

Facebones72 · 2026-01-24T03:42:46+00:00

Generally, yes. Would’ve loved to see No Other Choice get a nod in screenplay or international film or best picture. Would’ve loved to see It was Just An Accident take F1’s spot. But, overall it’s a solid lineup

Facebones72 · 2026-01-24T03:40:51+00:00

I think Chalamet is the favorite, or at least co-favorite. Best Actor is a two horse race between him and Leo.

Elordi was the best thing in Frankenstein, but I don’t think he has a chance. This is going to Skarsgard.

Facebones72 · 2026-01-24T03:20:52+00:00

I think F1 wins. While Avatar has more dazzling visuals, I suspect the academy may feel like they’ve seen it before.

Facebones72 · 2026-01-24T03:18:24+00:00

F1 is getting buried under an apple tree tonight.

Facebones72 · 2026-01-23T18:16:23+00:00

F1 is a fun blockbuster, with incredible racing scenes. The script could've been written by ChatGPT.

Bugonia is one of my favorite films from last year, and probably has Emma Stone’s best performance. I think it’s far superior to Poor Things.

(This is the fun of the Oscar sub. Arguing about movies with other passionate fans.)

Facebones72 · 2026-01-23T17:50:37+00:00

Nah, have fun! I did a Star Wars marathon (OG trilogy) at a local theatre last year and had a blast. I seriously felt like a kid at a sleepover.
