Ke Huy Quan won an Oscar… Congrats.
@ManchuCandidate: I can’t get over how awesome that is.
I haven’t paid attention to the Oscars in twenty years, however this year they finally got it right!
@¡Andrew!: I would watch, but after pulling the plug ten years ago, streaming options remain limited. You’d think it would be a lock for Disney+ (or even Hulu), but noooooooo.
No March Madness bracket?
@¡Andrew!:
I passed on the Oscars. Enjoyed the movie.
@ManchuCandidate: Oh gee, that starts tomorrow? Haven’t heard from Mellbell, so guess not.
@nojo: I watched the clips on YouTube.
Lady Gaga’s performance was extraordinarily honest and raw: no make-up, just dressed in a black t-shirt and ripped jeans while belting out her ballad. The song is OK, however it’s one of her most powerful performances ever.

And I’m absolutely thrilled that RRR’s “Naatu Naatu” won best song. Holy jeebus that movie was wild–countless times where my mind was blown by ‘I can’t believe they did that/how on earth did they film that’ moments.
Hands down one of the best films of the 21st century so far.

@¡Andrew!: I tried RRR a few times at Benedick’s insistence, just couldn’t last. And now I’ve canceled Netflix, so it’s moot.
@nojo: I’m just late, as ever. The play-in games started Tuesday, but we’ve got until tomorrow. Link forthcoming!
@ManchuCandidate: As a veteran of last year’s tournament, you were re-invited with one click, so you should have the details already, and I’ll post the link in the sandbox as well.
@nojo: I mooch Disney+ from my sister and HBO Max from my ex. Still need a Hulu hookup though!
@ManchuCandidate: Bitch, March Madness is ON! xoxo
