Speaking of Dolly Parton, does anyone agree with me that she can be quite funny and it is too bad that she hasn't done more comedy?

Re: New Developments III

The big question I have is, if the New York AG starts to seize Trump properties, how leveraged is Trump? It could be that the New York Ag seizes a property, sells it to the highest bidder, and, finds that Trump is underwater, that he owes more money on the property than its sale price. That means th...

Re: New Developments III

Trump is unable to make the almost half-billion-dollar bond necessary to appeal his New York civil fraud verdict. It appears the New York AG will start seizing Trump's property in about a week.

Re: Welcome to the 97th Academy Awards

Megalopolis finished production at the end of March in 2023; so, it should already have finished post-production. Apparently, it will be shown at this year's Cannes festival, which will be from May 14 to 25.

Re: In Memoriam

The reason I was hoping the last person In Memoriam would be Norman Jewison is that it could end with the scene in Moonstruck in the kitchen where Olympia Dukakis says, "Te amo;" and, Vincent Gardenia responds with, "Anch'io ti amo."

The big question mark, for both box office and awards in 2024, appears to be Megalopolis.

Re: I'm always here for the Trivia
