So the Oscars guys.  They’re tonight.  Which means last night was the Independent Spirit awards and really all weekend should have been lead up events and they must have happened but there are almost no pictures.  Like, Aubrey Plaza at the Independent Spirit Awards is it so far.  It’s a little shocking.  Luckily she looked good and hey, we always have the red carpet tonight to blow us away.  I like Aubrey Plaza and so I certainly don’t mind an excuse to post her.  I actually haven’t seen either of the movies she’s in this year but… well, I’ll get to them.  I have seen all the Oscar nominees though and what I assume everyone comes here for is my take on the Oscars.  I am not so good at guessing what will win and it strikes me as a foolish thing to be into, you aren’t even choosing what you think is best, just what you think others will think is best?  Well, obviously La La Land and Emma Stone will win because it’s like tailor made to make white people feel warm and fuzzy.  I mean, La La Land is fine, it’ll just be one of those wins in 5 years everyone will be a little embarrassed about but people really love it right now and I don’t want to sound to negative about it, I just think nostalgia is generally toxic for art and I also think the reason people like it is the same reason Trump got elected.  I didn’t come here to bash La La Land though, if you want to hear more you can message me.  No, I think that’ll win but probably if I had to choose the most impactful movie I saw of the picks it would be Manchester by the Sea.  Or maybe Moonlight.  Declaring which piece of art is the best also feels a little foolish to me.  Certainly some art is better than others but what is best for you and speaks to you the most often has to do with where you are in life, what you bring to it.  So I guess I will say that Manchester by the Sea, Moonlight, Fences, and Hell or High Water are all worth watching.  They are very good, though Fences you have to be in the mood for something stagey and Hell or High Water you should like Westerns.  Arrival is pretty solid and Captain Fantastic might appeal to some.  Hidden Figures is worth it just because it’s an under told story but also because it’s a by the numbers feel good movie, you will get to see a bunch of attractive, charismatic people work hard to get something, some giant booable asshole get in their way for a little bit, then they will overcome the giant booable asshole and get what they want.  We all feel good.  Your parents should like it.  I mean… you know your parents better than me but it is very feel good.  But Moonlight and Manchester by the Sea are the only two movies I think will stand the test of time.  They are soul crushing but very good.  Anyway, I figured that’s why everyone is really here but I am here because Aubrey Plaza sure is pretty.  And funny.  She is funny and pretty.  Today I want to fuck Aubrey Plaza.
