congratulations to No Other Land, which may be the first film to win a major Oscar but not theatrical distribution.

Now the winner at the #Oscars for Best Documentary, NO OTHER LAND is the essential film for our time πŸ“½οΈ

No Other Land just won an Oscar without US distribution. Absolutely legendary for them, this film and its message. The most important award of this year, hands down.

NO OTHER LAND!!!! No Other Land now has more Oscars than it did distribution offers. a great and enduring shame upon the American film industry. free Palestine forever.

The NO OTHER LAND team on the red carpet 😭

Sorry I haven't been here lately! I've been Feeling Bad!

Horrendous distribution for an incredible movie. Deserves all the love in the world and then some.

Listen...I'm not saying The Pitt is the best medical drama on American TV in a decade or more, but I AM saying that whenever I run out of screeners I have to resist the urge to sit unblinking in front of my inbox for days straight until the next episode comes.

Getting real Grosse Pointe Blank vibes from the Goggins character on The White Lotus and loving it.

There's always one guy on The White Lotus who has the most absolutely rancid vibes from day one (though I'd argue Theo James was pretty quickly surpassed by Adam DiMarco).

Anyone have advice for how to put a newsletter or website to sleep for a couple months without alienating or shortchanging your audience? Between the state of the world, my shifting interests, and this wacky body I live in, I think Hey, What Are You Watching? needs some downtime and space to change.

Have to say, all in all, I liked it better when everything didn't fucking suck shit

😭

Agreed. I used to like Lorne but everything I've heard about him in the past few years paints him as a self-obsessed control freak, the bad manager of a wildly toxic work environment, and (as Maureen Ryan pointed out in Burn it Down) someone who runs the comedy industry like the mob. Or a cult!

Been watching a lot of DS9 lately and my new favorite game whenever I go somewhere new is "what's the most fucked up thing Odo could be in the room right now?"

Reason #362827 to love The Pitt: it has massive "the writers love M*A*S*H" vibes.

I started taking sertraline for anxiety and depression in November and as a bonus, it's cut down on my OCD. The hard part, though, is that without the structure my OCD lent me, I have a tough time hitting deadlines, journaling, keeping up with my watchlists, and managing my time and to-do lists. 🧡

I think I came across as confident and well-informed in a tax appointment today. In the past my self-employment taxes got so fucked up that I'd burst into tears minutes into every meeting, so I'm gonna be riding the high of finally seeming like a professional for a while.
