I am posting Saoirse Ronan today because it’s rare she shows up outside of awards season so it’s nice she did, even if she was at an Oscars adjacent thing so that’s almost cheating. She looked good though, I like when she wears a nice dress. I don’t have a lot more to say than that I guess. Today I want to fuck Saoirse Ronan.
So the Oscars were last night. You probably aren’t aware. I won’t take the time to explain what they are because you can Google that. Some of you are probably upset, especially about certain categories. I am here to remind you of a few things. The first is that awards shows are bullshit. The Oscars most of all. Keep in mind Harvey Weinstein bullied his way into multiple forgettable Best Picture Oscars for his studio. Keep that in mind and realize it’s nice to win but there is a lot going on. Second is that art is not a thing to be quantified with numbers. Be that box office receipts, numbers on a review aggregation, or numbers of awards won. Art transcends such things because art speaks to the soul and no one, not even people in really fancy tuxedos, can tell you what a work of art means to you or what is the most important to you. The Oscars are a giant pat on the back for Hollywood and always will be. They are a party with a lot of glitz but still just a party. It’s the movies that are magic. It is the movies that have meaning. This doesn’t mean you are wrong to be upset, especially when it comes to representation in awards. Rage. You won’t be wrong. But I also know that the great movies win out in the end. Do the Right Thing lost in 1989 but it’s the movie from that year that is transcendent and recognized as such. So what you should do is share what you loved from this year. Shout it from the rooftops. Or just tell your friends. Share what you love and it will find it’s home in people’s hearts. For me, the Best Picture race this year was bound to be a disappointment and a triumph at the same time. Well, I was hoping about the second part. I had three movies I truly loved and another that was off kilter enough I didn’t mind it if it won. One of the three won. Get Out got the screenplay at least. So I am going to bring up Ladybird because it didn’t win a damn thing and that’s a shame. I see it being billed as a comedy and it can be funny but I found it to be a beautiful portrait of a certain time in a person’s life. There are hard parts to this movie. The mother is an abuser and a lot of the audience doesn’t seem to recognize it. The portrayal is perfect. The script, the movie, all of it. And so is Saoirse Ronan, who was nominated for the third time this year. I certainly hope she wins at some point, she deserves it. She played a tricky character, one that in lesser hands would have been easy to hold in contempt. Instead I loved her. So the Oscars are over and you might be upset. That’s ok. I am not because I have my experience with the films I saw and they are still there. I am going to share what I loved this year though. I loved Ladybird and you should see it. Today I want to fuck Saoirse Ronan.
Here is Saoirse Ronan because of Awards stuff. She was at an awards show and a pre-Oscars thing and she looked good at both. Really two nice dresses which is nice to see cause she can have some pretty big misses on the red carpet. Which I think is part of her charm really. There are lots of celebrities who appeal to that “just like us” thing and it’s always bullshit because they aren’t. But there is a bit of awkwardness to Saoirse when she’s not acting that I think people relate to. Or maybe not, I could just be talking out my ass. I am still working my way through the major nominees this year but she still is in my favorite movie so far this year. And again, she looked good. Today I want to fuck Saoirse Ronan.
The Golden Globes were last night and Saoirse Ronan won. Literally. Not my usual announcement but she won Best Actress in a comedy or musical and good for her. I have been trying to see Lady Bird for a while now and by trying to see Lady Bird for a while now I mean I kept thinking about it, then realized it was outside, said fuck it and watched some garbage instead like a youtube video about the 10 Real Paranormal Encounters You Won’t Believe. Which for the record, they were right, I didn’t believe. It all sounded like bullshit to me. A+ For clickbait accuracy there. Anyway, today I made it. A non-existent ice storm has closed schools and a bunch of stuff here so I said fuck it and skipped out to go see a noon show and here I am. It’s why Saoirse Ronan is here. I didn’t hate her dress or anything but this for once isn’t about the dresses after an awards show. It’s about her performance in a movie that I found to just be beautiful. It was a comedy and I laughed but the true triumph was it’s portrait of human beings. I would say if you were ever a teenager there is something in this movie for you (think of it as having a kinship with Ghostworld, it just isn’t a pessimistic and it’s characters are not outsiders). And if you were never a teenager then… I assume you must be some sort of robot in disguise. And not the good kind that turns into a truck. Well, just know movies will be how we identify you when you try to take over the world. Anyone who doesn’t cry at Old Yeller is a robot. We’ll beat you. Back to the movie though, it was very well written but the most important part of course was the lead roll. Saoirse Ronan did such a good job of creating a very true but lovable character. Sure she is a callow, sometimes mean teenager. She is a teenager, she’s not fully formed. But you love her because of how she inhabits the role. It was exceptional. So she’s here today because I am just enamored with her and the performance. Today I want to fuck Saoirse Ronan.
Man guys, not a lot going on recently and I don’t have a ton to say. I guess some days I am not that creative. I just their Saoirse Ronan is pretty and more I like all the things I have seen her in. So she showed up at the Gotham Indy Awards thing and… hey, that’s good enough. It was a nice reminder that she exists and that I like her. So today I want to fuck Saoirse Ronan.
Ooof. Hey guys. This post is going to be simple cause I am crazy sleepy. See, I hurt my finger and so it hurt, which, I mean, duh. Tautology aside I am rarely someone who takes any kind of medication but I wanted some Advil or something to help with the discomfort and apparently I pay shit attention and took sleeping pills instead. Or I just want to sabotage myself? Who knows. Anyway, I chose Saoirse Ronan today cause she has almost made the cut a couple of days and I like her. Besides being a good actress her name is really, really fun to try and say and her accent is delightful. Also she is pretty. But seriously, say her name, it’s so much fun. That’s it, I am done fighting all these fucking typos. Today I want to fuck Saoirse Ronan.
Here is Saoirse Ronan who I had a lot of fun with last night in an attempt to pronounce her name and stuff. Anyway, I was thinking about her and like… I know I had seen a fair number of things with her in it but upon researching it turns out it’s 9 movies. Because at 21 she has already had a really long career. I guess I first saw her in Atonement which somewhere in the back of my mind I knew she was in and knew she had been nominated for an Oscar but at the same time it was a surprise again when I read it. What stood out as I was going back through this though is that while I haven’t loved every movie she was in I now remember how much I liked her in each of those. And most of the movies were at the very least interesting. She gives good performances. Like, it’s not perfect but I quite enjoyed How I Live Now. Byzantium was flawed but also fascinating and she was outstanding in it. Basically she is very good and I am always thankful for art that is more than disposable. Even if i don’t love it I love having to stop and think. She is also pretty. So today I want to fuck Saoirse Ronan.
So… I’m still posting stuff from the Oscars? I guess so but it wasn’t like… planned. On Monday I almost posted Saoirse Ronan. In the end ALicia Vikander won out but Saoirse came close, mainly because her dress was amazing. Well, someone reblogged it again today and it was sitting on my dash and man it looked good. It is just very classic looking. I mean, it’s shiny but it’s a classic cut, a great color and she looked pretty? I don’t have a lot of great reasons I suppose but I will say of the best picture nominees this year Brooklyn was probably my second favorite. I think she was good in it. I think that’s enough for today. She’s good at what she does, she had a pretty green dress, she has a name that is very hard to say or spell. Today I want to fuck Saoirse Ronan.
I was surprised when I saw Brooklyn get the nod for the Oscars yesterday. Not because of a quality issue, I actually hadn’t seen it when the announcement was made but because it wasn’t even on my radar as recently as a couple of weeks ago. Then the trailer for it started popping up before things I saw and the first time it seemed pleasant enough but eventually it compelled me enough that I wanted to see it. So I was set to see it last night at 9:30 and then it turned out it got nominated. It was a beautiful movie. Both to look at and how it made me feel. I am having trouble to think of how to best describe it because it is not a movie about things happening so much as it is about people. Or a person. About a girl who had become so used to being overlooked and accepting whatever little was offered to her that when life opens up and offers her more she gets to discover the joy and freedom of just having choices in life. It was a quiet movie with no villains, no huge problems, no grand adversity to overcome other than just being an immigrant in a foreign land. It was beautiful because it was well acted, it was well shot, and it crafted characters and experiences I cared about. The romance was appealing… I loved everything about it and Saoirse Ronan carried most of the weight. This is the 3rd time I have thought about posting her because I have seen her in things before and been taken with just how good she was. It never worked out those times. I don’t know why. I probably went looking for pictures, gave up, and my mind moved on. Or my mind just moved on by the next day. She is really very good though, I loved her in this role. Today I want to fuck Saoirse Ronan.
