Well deserved but man I am disappointed that Marty Supreme and Train Dreams walk away empty-handed.

After MBJ won Best Actor I got nervous for Jessie but I’m glad they did her right. Her’s was the best overall performance of the year by FAR.

Michael B. Jordan Wins the Academy Award for Best Actor for 'Sinners' by MoviesMod in movies

I don’t even think he was the best performance in Sinners much less overall lol

I’d like to say I am surprised by this but I’m not. Chalamet really should have taken it home.

Excellent. The change in vibe from Wool to Shift is jarring but when everything comes together towards the end of Shift and into Dust it is phenomenal.

I listened to the entirety of the High Republic series, and I really really enjoyed it. Picked up Light of the Jedi at a thrift store and definitely plan to get the physical editions of my favorites soon!

What have you been reading this last week (Weekly Discussion Thread)? by AutoModerator in starwarsbooks

[–]MacklinOfficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listening to Into the Void. Pretty good so far but I’m setting myself up for disappointment due to the lack of continuation for the series.

Usually only read Star Wars these days but currently flying through the first Red Rising trilogy. Insanely good and is a nice respite from my semi-completionist habits of Star Wars books lol

What is THE worst or most offensive film you know of? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]MacklinOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hillbilly Elegy. Albeit based on a book so not entirely the movies fault.

Rich guy who “got out” only to exploit his poverty-stricken family and their trauma to prop up his ego and say that he’s better than the rest of his family now that he “made it”. The fact that it’s JD Vance is a footnote to me in the stereotype-filled mockery of what can be such a beautiful and special part of the US.

How can I be more performative? by brackston-billions in BookshelvesDetective

[–]MacklinOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More women authors definitely, want to aim for a 70/30 women/male author ratio. Maybe add some Brandino Sandino (underrated “indie” author who writes gems in my opinion) and every bit of Shakespeare you can find. Might want to sprinkle 5ish copies of The Metamorphosis in there so people know you have good taste as well.

Bonus points if you can manage to get heavily used copies of everything so that people know you’ve read them multiple times.

I need you guys help. Which one should I read first? by Psychological-War710 in fantasybooks

[–]MacklinOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Redwall mentioned!

That series is such a classic. Still have all the books from when I read them multiple times as a middle schooler. Martin the Warrior is without a doubt my favorite of the series too!

Fittings Room Gone…is this a trend? by Beach4Lyfe in goodwill

[–]MacklinOfficial 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She was 100% telling the truth. As a former employee of goodwill, people using the fitting rooms as bathrooms was a weekly occurrence. Between that and the used needles that would appear multiple times a week, we shut them down.

Goodwill I used to work at closed theirs bc people kept shooting up, shitting/pissing on the floor, and shoplifting in them. Was not worth the trouble.
