VERY well composed.

I blew cheerios through my nose at;

"Voters saw Trump as a stubborn project manager, in Hollywood parlance a Goldwyn, a Mayer, a Zanuck. Someone who would look up from his plate of eggs at the complaining director and say, “The kid stays in the picture.” Someone whose insolence could be broken only by finding his favorite horse’s head severed and in his bed."

In defense of the clueless Beatty and Dunaway, they were handed the wrong envelope by the Price Waterhouse guy Brian Cullinan, who apparently is so star struck he spent his time backstage photographing celebrities and posting the pictures on his Twitter account (which was forbidden).

I was more outraged that a fairly decent movie (La La Land), which had a traditional heterosexual love story, good music, and very good choreography lost out to a political piece of garbage (Moonlight) because it had black LGBT characters and themes.

Moonlight became the first film with an all-black cast, the first LGBT film...

I think the 1929 production Hallelujah was the first major film with an all-black cast.

A three hour Democratic Party commercial. Not going to watch.

I won’t be watching - especially since Kimmel will be the host again. I sometimes wish a meteor would hit the place.

“Someone who would look up from his plate of eggs at the complaining director and say, ‘The kid stays in the picture.’”

Reminds of of that wonderful day, very early in the campaign, when a reporter asked him if he thought he should stop using the un-PC phrase, “anchor babies”. Trump thought for a couple seconds and said, “No. I think I’ll keep saying ‘anchor babies’.” Period. I was with him since the escalator, but that cemented it.

Not having seen one movie last year, I’ll make a point of not watching as well.

If so, that is the greatest failure of American institutions yet. Nikolas Cruz had a gun because laws on the books were purposely not being enforced. You’re telling me the remedy here is more laws?

Worth repeating.

The incident that endeared Trump to me was when, after he had given the personal cell phone number of a cowardly politician, someone thought they could “punish” Trump by publicizing his personal cell phone number. And Trump responded by recording a message on his voicemail thanking people for their interest in his campaign, and directing them to his campaign website.

That was when I knew that Trump is the kind of quick and adept thinker we need. He is awesome!

Perhaps we could leak the co-ordinates to the NORKs ?

Oh, yeah; I remember that. I think it was Cruz’ number, but am not sure.

Yes, a Dem Party commercial celebrating another year of Dem theater commercials...

If Trump is doing what they want in Gun Control, then they can’t read any stupid jokes about him. The writers are pulling all-nighters, that’s for sure.

It would be best if they write these good things and then 20 minutes before the show he would reverse his position on everything.

I want our enemy to be spun into a dizzying lather.

Re: With that, Hollywood hung itself on the gallows it had prepared for Trump. And, in the process, accidentally vindicated Trump voters.

An allusion to the book of Esther in the Bible and the Jewish holiday of Purim a couple days ago. Love it!

I never heard of Moonlight. My favorite movie of 2017 was Wind River.
