I'm staying with my MoviePass for the time being. I bop between several theaters to see what I want and 3 movies a month works for me.
The daily changes need to stop though.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Are you sure she wasn't just remembering seeing The Parent Trap when she was a kid?
It was pretty similar! Though it didn't have the same ending.
I can't remember their names but EM went to the same summer camp for all of her childhood.
She gets there at age 12 and greets her friend Anne (let's say), who she's known for years. The girl says, "I'm not Anne but you're the third person to call me that. Who's Anne?"
EM takes new girl, Jane (all names made) to meet Anne. They are agog. They look exactly alike. They are both adopted. They become friends and compare notes all summer.
They both live near NYC and after camp is over they meet each other in Manhattan. One of them has snooped through her parents papers and they have the name of the woman who gave them up for adoption!
She works in the Empire State building. They know what she looks like. They decide to confront her at work.
At the end of the workday, the woman comes down the elevator to the lobby and she sees these two twelve year old girls who are identical. Who look exactly like she did when she was that age. She knows exactly who they are. Her face turns white, and she turns on her heel and goes back to the elevator. She refuses to ever meet with them.
But the two sisters found each other and remained close.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
New Oscar category "Outstanding Achievement in Popular Film"
Terrible idea, or the most terrible idea?
Discuss!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
They could just call it "Genre Ghetto" and save us all some time.

It's such a pathetic ratings grab for the broadcast while ALSO being an excuse for never giving Best Picture to something like Black Panther.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Birth. Movies. Death. said they should just call it "Best Cape".

If it's the first winner they can underscore the insult by making the statue a golden lawn jockey!

Yeah, the comment I saw on Twitter was that really, this was the year they decided to create a category that's basically separate but equal?
