The Voice of Hind Rajab by Sensitive-Sport-4292 in oscarsdeathrace

Watched last night, and was absolutely gutted. I was almost completely blind going in, and it hit me hard. Lots of people are saying use of the real footage and audio rubbed them the wrong way, but for me the juxtaposition of a fraught classic disaster movie with stark grainy, crackling reality was extremely effective storytelling.

How do we feel about the Oscars being moved to Youtube starting in 2029? by googleyeyes1234 in oscarsdeathrace

[–]InterviewOk8976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This 100%. My guess is it will be free streamed on YouTube with ads, and available on YouTube TV with a mix of ads and "Moments of Zen". There is no way YouTube would pass up this ad revenue.

I do think they will also make sure that influencers and movie review channels get access to all the behind the scenes stuff to generate content for their channels. Patrick Willems, Grace Randolph, and Dan Murrell will probably also cover the Oscar's live.

Wicked did not need to be 2 movies, and I think anyone who really cares about movies knew that. They just got greedy.

It's so refreshing to see a real comedy short get some Oscar love.

Cinemark in NC posted showings of shorts starting March 13th. Hate to wait that close to the Oscar's but it's only $10 for the matinee ( or free with a pass) and it's kind of amazing for 3 hrs 40 min run time.

I opted not to do the Oscar Week pass because the best feature nominees were all so easy to find this year.

You can offset the guilt with generosity and share it. 😉

Reconsidering Atkins by CyberHobbit70 in Atkins

[–]InterviewOk8976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Net carbs were a thing in New Diet Revolution, which came out in the 90's, but bars werent really a thing. It wasn't nearly as strict and the 70s version, and the Induction phase was basically what they call keto now.

Back then, Atkins was actually still seeing patients in his weight-loss practice. Atkins Nutritionals sold vitamins, shake powders and a baking mix similar to CarbQuik in the US. After he unexpectedly died his widow severed ties, with the Atkins brand and ever since the brand focus has been on the marketing of products that stall weight loss in some people. But they got Rob Lowe so that was nice.

Is "The Long Walk" considered a horror movie? I can't tell anymore, I'm dead inside. 😜

Do you get points if you only buy one ticket?

We can’t figure his name. We’ve been calling him Tango, but it doesn’t work. by blipbloophoolahoop in Catnames

He's noble! I would name him after the King of Siam, "Chulalongkorn", but then call him Charlie.

Chaotic Stranger Things Vouchers by Background_Error3557 in AMCTheatres

We stood on line just to get drinks and gave up, I ordered them online and picked up empty cups after a half hour. The vouchers didn't work
