I missed it, but I'll catch up on Peacock. I watched "American Fiction" twice in the last two days. incredibly smart movie (even the books in Monk's agent's office were extremely smart...Owen Barfield and Apollinaire--my favorite French poet). considering how shitty movies have gotten, this was an amazing year. at least three of the nominated movies are excellent, although why I still give half a fuck about the Oscars is obviously some odd vestige of my ten-year-old self. I watch because of the outrageous levels of fashion and recent "procedures." I'm getting back a lot of money from the IRS this year (nearly five figures), but it's nothing compared with the Oscar Botox Budget. I also used to enjoy mocking the hideous "special material." remember Rob Lowe and the midget Snow White? I'll be watching with my best friend, who is no stranger to "special material," since he used to orchestrate the horrible Tony awards every year.
