The Onion’s Guide To The Oscars "This year's crop of Oscars nominees represent the singular power of cinema to transport viewers into worlds as far-flung as fantasy African kingdoms and British palaces, demonstrating the magical ability of movies to distract viewers from their inexorable march towards the grave. Before you enjoy the glitz and glamor of Hollywood's most important night, join America's Finest News Sources to survey the artists behind these fitful diversions from human frailty and bodily collapse....... https://www.theonion.com/s/oscars-2019?utm_source=Twitter&utm_campaign=SF&utm_content=Main&utm_medium=SocialMarketing

Mark Harris‏Verified account @MarkHarrisNYC 18h18 hours ago "Eighth Grade" ends its awards season with two big prizes for Bo Burnham: Best New Director from the DGA, and tonight, the WGA Award for Best Original Screenplay (beating three best picture nominees!) For a movie shut out of the Oscar race, nice going.

A NIGHT AT THE GARDEN, nominated for the 91st Academy Awards for Best Documentary Short "In 1939, 20,000 Americans rallied in New York's Madison Square Garden to celebrate the rise of Nazism -- an event largely forgotten from U.S. history. A NIGHT AT THE GARDEN, made entirely from archival footage filmed that night, transports audiences to this chilling gathering and shines a light on the power of demagoguery and anti-Semitism in the United States.

Criterion Collection‏Verified account @Criterion 9h9 hours ago Goodnight, Bruno Ganz, an actor whose empathy on-screen was always palpable & whose presence in such films as WINGS OF DESIRE will always live on in our hearts.

New York Times World‏Verified account @nytimesworld Bruno Ganz, the melancholy Swiss film actor who played an angel longing for the visceral joys of mortality in “Wings of Desire” and a defeated Hitler with trembling hands facing his own mortality in “Downfall,” died at his home in Zurich ============================ Ben Mankiewicz‏Verified account @BenMank77 4h4 hours ago One of the finest & most subtle actors I’ve ever seen, full of humanity even when playing a man devoid of it.

Eddie Muller‏Verified account @EddieMuller 17h17 hours ago Everybody griping about the Oscars: do what I do —go see a movie to celebrate cinema instead of watching some self-aggrandizing egomaniacal fashion-show BS. PS: sorry,

Velvet Buzzsaw Is Pure, Absurd, Soulless Fun The director of Nightcrawler reunites with Jake Gyllenhaal and Rene Russo for a gleefully gory parody of the fine-art world. "....... Gilroy’s new movie reunites the director with his Nightcrawler stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Russo. This time, they’re all making fun of the preening art scene, ...... In Velvet Buzzsaw, art and commerce aren’t merely intertwined; they’re feeding off each other in unpredictable, dismaying ways. Could it be that Gilroy has a few complaints about the state of his own industry? Swap out some of the characters’ jobs, and Velvet Buzzsaw could really be parodying any creative field, where the debut of new work made without industry interference and with unbridled passion is seen as potentially paradigm-shifting. Morf, who has grown bored of installations that feature talking robots and humming metal spheres, is inspired to investigate the primal nature of Dease’s paintings; he quickly discovers a dark history that distresses him but that only further jacks up the prices. ........ In the end, Velvet Buzzsaw is a pretty soulless piece of art about the soullessness of art; but that doesn’t mean it can’t have a little fun proving its point. https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2019/02/velvet-buzzsaw-netflix-review-dan-gilroy-jake-gyllenhaal-morf/581716/?utm_campaign=the-atlantic&utm_content=edit-promo&utm_term=2019-02-01T16%3A48%3A05&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter =========================================

Bobby Rivers‏ @BobbyRiversTV 4h4 hours ago Please, Brad. Your first film? Charles Chaplin, Fritz Lang, Preston Sturges. James Whale and Vittorio De Sica gave us film classics but they were never Best Director Oscar nominees. Nor were Barbra Streisand and Penny Marshall.

"coming up is Muller's favorite Noir, In a Lonely Place (1950). it'll be interesting to hear what he says about this flik. i thought it was a disappointment after seeing it for the first time about 10 years ago. i haven't changed my opinion since first my first view. we'll see... " =========================== was disappointed in his rather 'chintzy' remarks for a supposed FAV film (maybe ran out of time, having to plug the latest TNT/Chris Pine series......?)
