It didn't blow me away but I am curious to see if/when they make this is into a film series/franchise.

The budget was low, but so was the box office and opinion. After a dismal C+ Cinemascore and a catastrophic 69% second week drop-off, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting a follow-up.

Probably a bit of a reach for this board, but if you were a teen in the late 90's, you definitely remember this twister firestarter . With his cartoonish persona and inimitable style, he acted as a major gateway into the electronic music world for me - the first paragraph of the above article is alm...

It does not appear to be confirmed as of yet, but the leader of Talk Talk is reportedly dead at 64. Whether you know him as the synth-pop hitmaker behind hits like "It's My Life" or the iron-willed post-rock genius of albums like Laughing Stock, this is a major loss.

The women were also impressed by the $30 million Tiffany diamond necklace she wore, the Tiffany diamond having been last seen in a photo shoot Audrey Hepburn did for Breakfast at Tiffany's . I know this has been the main talking point today about for a lot of women I know. "Green Book, what's ...

From last place to first: congrats dws!
And thanks anonymous for hosting the contest again!

I didn't mind the host-less situation, it made the ceremony feel quite zippy. If "Rocketman" takes off, maybe they can just get Elton to open next year's show.

There is, however, something else to consider and that's that like Spike Lee, the likely adapted screenplay winner, long-time writer Paul Schrader has never won an Oscar. Oddly, he's never even been nominated. He could, like Lee and Glenn Close, be a recipient of one of those "it's about time&...

The Monkees' bassist/multi-instrumentalist was 77.

So, why the .1% doubt? Simply put: the last time a foreign-language film was in this position to win an Oscar, the voters instead passed on a (nominated) DGA choice for the first time in 28 years. That scar still aches a bit. So, yes, of course I'm betting on Cuaron, and very much expecting him. Bu...

Confirmation that Bohemian Rhapsody will rock you at the Oscars.

The acclaimed novelist was 62.

A nerdy, fascinating look at the rarity of this year's top 3 winners aligning with critical consensus.

Did anyone else watch the awards? I assume BAFTA's would have won out, as with Bradley Cooper, so on this board. MICHELLE OBAMA. Her single utterance of "Motown..." brought the house down. Just to be clear, the audience's rousing ovation had nothing to do with Motown. Rather it was Michel...
