Does he ever read anything besides comic books? Reminds me of these lines from Seinfeld: ELAINE Kevin and his friends are nice people! They do good things. They read.. JERRY I read. ELAINE Books, Jerry. JERRY [pause] Oh. Big deal.. there's no way he reads comic books. Do you know how woke that stuff is? Puts the movies to shame.

Jedi is too afraid of being with an actual woman, even one he paid for. This is the closest he's come to being with a woman... He actually reminds me of the serial killer in 10 to Midnight.

Best Actress is about prettiness. Best Actor is about technical precision. Effects is a feminine award; editing is a masculine award. Got that?

Hollywood likes to blacklist people, but usually not for criminal actions, just for someone exercising their free speech rights in the "wrong" way. With criminal behavior, they usually like to make a big show of how forgiving they are. With "MeToo" cases, that's another blacklisting situation. But that's about the only area of criminality that they won't forgive. We had two convictions so far. The Midnight Rider case also had multiple charges and convictions. Crimes are not necessarily defined as things that are the acts of single individuals. Many people can share responsibility for a crime, and often do. Everyone knows this job was the armorer's primary responsibility. But we already had a lesser conviction by plea deal for the A.D. as well. When dominos start falling, they tend to continue falling. An acquittal here would've been a domino that didn't fall, and less momentum working against Baldwin. This conviction is the first evidence that a jury considers this incident a crime, not merely a tragic accident. The prosecution is building a case and a narrative that will span multiple trials. They won today. Their strategy worked. They achieved their goals. This is not good news for Baldwin at all. He's up against an opponent who just won a battle, and is coming for him next. He would be wise to make a plea deal.

Jimmy Kimmel was very unexceptional as a host, maybe the most unexceptional he's ever been. And it's just embarrassing to see him cheapen the ceremony with topical, political references. Nothing too bad. The most awkward moments I can remember were Emma Stone seemingly asking people for help on stage to fix her dress and saying her dress broke (which I don't think could be detected on camera), the In Memoriam screen being so small and in the background that the names couldn't be read without a magnifying glass on your TV screen, the Godzilla winner freezing up while trying to read English off of a piece of paper, Jimmy Kimmel's assistant saying he was married to Charlize Theron with a cut back to her looking annoyed by it, Al Pacino seeming befuddled and saying the Best Picture winner "looks like" Oppenheimer to him while staring down at the envelope, and Kimmel continuing an internet flame war with Donald Trump in one segment of the broadcast that marred a rather dignified evening with something that was just the opposite. It was hilarious, on-point and got a rousing, enthusiastic applause. It was dignified, appropriate and funny. It was neither dignified nor appropriate. And applause in the room from one specific region and culture does not translate to the entirety of the show's viewership. If ratings are a concern for the Oscars, you may not want to tell jokes that alienate half of your potential audience. And if you want to honor cinema, don't let your host air his petty, personal flame wars on the air that have absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand, movies. If you think people who work in “Hollywood” are all from one region or culture, you clearly have never been to the city. (I’m curious as to whether you think the “Godzilla” team was part of that mythological monolithic entity.) One other annoying thing about the ceremony was how Barbie being "snubbed" became a theme of the commentary, kicked off by Jimmy Kimmel saying "some people thought Greta Gerwig should've been nominated for Best Director." It's truly NOT his place as host to make judgmental remarks about who was or was not nominated. After all the inappropriate remarks, a failure to get any big laughs, lazy and unenergetic delivery, and even getting booed for several bad puns, I pray he is never asked back to host again. It was a bully getting his comeuppance that was funny; the guy who thought he was getting in a cheap shot who unexpectedly got punched in the nose, that was what the humor was based on. Your entire response is steeped in the exact same kind of bias that leads people to do what Kimmel did, alienating millions of people across the country because of their self-righteous desire to bully someone who they, in their arrogance, have deemed to be an inferior human being to themselves. Note, the person carrying the biggest stick is the bully, not the lower person they punch down on. There's a reason they call it the "bully pulpit." Hosting one of the most widely watched programs of the year definitely qualifies. You seem to be unaware he was responding to being bullied. And you think he was punching down? Whom do you hold in higher regard? And then who was really punching down? I guess we can debate whether or not you thought he was effective as host. I thought he was. And i am not sometone who watches his show. But he was quick witted and matter of factly funny. Reading a real time public critique of his job and his response is what comedians do. Odd you think he'd be more sensitive to half the audience. Almost like you wish he'd be more woke. To take a giant global platform to fire a shot in an internet flame war that no one had heard about before you brought it up is the HEIGHT of poor judgment and inappropriate behavior for a host. It's the host making the show about himself instead of what it's supposed to be about. Everyone has the right to criticize the Oscars and its host on social media. That isn't "bullying." So if somebody smaller than you sucker-punches you and you punch them back, that makes you a bully? Got it. It's pretty simple. On a giant global broadcast celebrating an artform and an institution like the Oscars, the goal should be to unite the country, and the world, for at least one night, around our love of cinema. Bringing up things that divide us like petty political squabbles should be completely out of bounds and off the table. In no way should the host of a classy ceremony like this be spewing insults towards one of the major political candidates of the year. It's outrageous, egregious, disgusting, intolerable and absolutely unacceptable. The politicization of everything simply sucks. Note that Kimmel didn't read the entire tweet. Then ask yourself who wrote Kimmels most memorable line of the night. Anyone who thinks a TV host can "punch down" to a former president - a former president who lashed out at the TV host first - either doesn't know what "punching down" means or they're so invested in being "anti-woke" that they can't see straight anymore. If it's bullying to criticize people on the Oscars, then I guess Kimmel has decided to bully Al Pacino: “I guess he’s never watched an awards show before,” Kimmel said. “It seems like everyone in America knows the rhythm of how it’s supposed to go…down to the ‘And the Oscar goes to…’ But not Al Pacino! God bless him.”The tone of this remark sounds exactly the same as the social media post that Kimmel seemed to be saying was so outrageous last night that it needed to be dredged up, aired to millions and responded to live on the air. I would say, though, an Oscars host ought to have that all-important DECORUM, and not criticize other presenters in the press the next day. Another reason this guy needs to be replaced. Oh please. Give it a rest. If someone makes a public statement, they open themselves up to be served a delicious slice of reality. It’s not a comedian’s job to unite anyone. You're missing the point, Kimmel's hypocrisy. He can criticize an Oscar presenter but he can't take criticism of the job he did. And Pacino and the Oscars have both pointed out that he was directed not to read off nominees. The nominees the other people read are NOT read live on the air anyway. They are pre-recorded videos the Oscars cut away too. That's why the camera is not on the presenters during that playback. The Oscars decided not to read off the Best Picture nominees, not Pacino. It was dumb, anti-climactic, etc. And Kimmel himself is the one who is responsible for throwing Pacino's rhythm off by bringing up the Beatty/Dunaway error of reading off the wrong winner the second before Pacino came out. It really created a bad vibe to bring that up years after the Oscars have gotten past that, and not repeated the error. But if I was the Oscars host, there are plenty of people who can point out what other people did wrong on the show. I don't need to be the one to level that criticism at the people I just got done working with to put on the show last night. Try talking to the press and telling them how bad a job all your co-workers are doing and see how it goes over. There was a funny Newsradio episode about that. It didn't go over well in the eyes of everyone else for the person who bad-mouthed everyone they work with to the press. I think you're missing the point. He did take it. He took it like a champ. In fact, he read it aloud on national television. When a huge audience was watching. He didn't have to do that. Few of us want to be criticized by a former president. He did so in front of us. He didn't hit the man, he hit back He didn't have to do it and most certainly shouldn't have done it. It was terribly inappropriate for numerous reasons. The people backstage advising him not to do it understood that perfectly. And the definition of "taking criticism" is not bringing it up out of nowhere in order to set up your insult of the person who gave it to you in front of millions of people. It’s great that he did it, he had every right to do it, and it got a huge response from the audience. Deal with it. It's a great thing to do only if you don't care about ratings for late-night comedy shows and awards shows continuing to sink into the toilet. The ratings they used to get were achieved in part because they used to try hard not to offend any segment of the viewing public. Kimmel made fun of a bully - he didn't make fun of all the people who supported that bully. They may take offense but tough luck. Late-night talk show hosts for 50+ years have made fun of politicians on both sides. If this particularly thin-skinned crybaby can't take it then he should take his 1/2-inch ***** and go hide under a rock like the ugly fat slimy troll that he is. It's actually quite okay to bully a bully just as it is quite okay in WWII to shoot Nazis. You fight back or let the horrible scum takeover. The problem in the US is that the educated who vote the other way spend so much time bending over backwards to tolerate the uneducated scumballs that they wind up growing in numbers and taking over (like your Supreme Court filled with religious nut crazies). As for the global broadcast aspect or uniting the country - the people on that side are always hating everything Hollywood - they hate the actors for being wealthy elites - they hate the stories that make people "think" about stuff. This is a low-IQ part of the country that likes everything to be spoon-fed in black and white. They want action and things to blow up real good - c'mon - shoot that Bud Light can with a machine gun. This is the mentality of these people. God forbid you show a boobie or two men kissing - their entire world will come crashing down on them. They aren't watching this show. They elect people who go to the State of the Union and heckle the president - this is the kind of person they LOVE and ARE. MTG is their hero. Who the hell cares about including these people in anything? We choose who we are friends with in real life - this isn't second-grade idealism where our parents make us sit with the bully and "try to be his friend and come together" - sorry but we choose our friends and the half that voted for the orange one are the people I would emigrate to avoid. I want nothing at all in any way shape or form to have any god damn thing to do with any of them.

Still up and added to as of 20+ min ago. I’ll post screenshots later if the exchange winds up getting flushed down the memory hole over there and MAIAHB doesn’t continue it over here…
