What Movies Have You Seen Lately?

Its absurd the Martian is considered a comedy

Or a musical.

But I recommend it as a good movie anyway.

adventure/drama. Reality/sci-fi

Reality/sci-fi -- I just invented to say it doesn't go too far off the spectrum of reality. The plot elements are the sketchiest part -- but much like James bond, the real drama is much more enhanced to keep the audience attention. Sometimes James Bond just gets a paper cut for his whole day, but no one is going to sit and watch that unless it's somehow life threatening, spouting a geyser of blood. (bond is actually not very bloody, come to think of it -- probably they are anti-gore -- can't say I miss it)

When the director Ridley Scott's accepted the award for Best Comedy he laughed out loud on the stage that his film would be considered a comedy.

The GG has always had a reputation for being a bit corrupt. Even Ricky Gervais said as part of his monologue that the award means nothing at all. It's just an excuse for some journalists to get selfies with famous actors. He has three, and he keeps one in his bathroom by the toilet in case his ass gets itchy.

It was funny when he said to remember that
this award means nothing to anybody but
you, the winner. They all laughed because
they know it's true.

I thought awards shows are a showcase for fashion designers.

Come on. Nothing interesting happens after the red carpet.

That part is 6 minutes into the opening monologue


What's up with Lady Gaga? She spent years getting us used to the most outrageous costumes, now she is like a glamour queen from the 1930's.


And I am afraid that I have never even heard of Mr Robot. I tried watching the pilot, but I fell asleep. I will try again, because it must be good if it won all those awards.

She went the Madonna route of letting her behavior draw attention to herself. But she has real musical and lyrical talent. She's just, like Madonna, not drop-dead gorgeous.

“I blame NBC for this terrible situation,” Gervais said before bringing Gibson up. “Mel blames…well, we know who Mel blames.” The comedian also joked about Gibson’s alcohol problem, but said he’d rather have a drink with Gibson than Bill Cosby. After coming out, Gibson responded, “I love seeing Ricky every three years because it reminds me to get a colonoscopy,” which prompted Gervais to return to the stage, making for one of the strangest moments in Globes history. Gervais, with drink in hand, then put his arm around Gibson and said he had one question ...BLEEP

Ricky Gervais may have done the best thing for Mel Gibson in ten years. I think he finally cleared the air forever. The whole incident is now simply a punch line, and it has been completely overshadowed by more serious celebrity problems.

The bleeped question was "What the f*** does 'sugartits' even mean anyway?"

I liked Ricky's parting comment "On behalf of myself and Mel Gibson....Shalom."

Hopefully, she's outgrown it by now.

There was much hype when Mr. Robot came out, so I tried watching a few episodes. It was painfully slow and plotless. My time was worth more than that, so I stopped after 4 eps or so. No regrets.

LOL, I'm surprized you made it that far,
after seeing where your tastes lie.

I was not shocked at all that the two
top awards for acting went to
this show. The writing and the acting
were so over the top, I almost couldn't
watch last episode because I knew it
was going to bother me. And it still does.

This show is not about what it looks like
it's about. Once you get a hint of what's
really going on, it grabs you and you can't
not watch it. I don't see how they can
top season 1, it was genius. The fact that
the Foreign Press saw it that way is very
gratifying.

"The first season of Mr.Robot is a must-see if you are into wickedly smart plot twists, beautiful characters with depth, psychology, philosophy, tech or politics and love a good anarchy theme. It is fresh, exciting and worth your time. The season is well put together and the episodes are so enthralling you can not wait to see the next one unfold."

In a way, I wish there wasn't a 2nd season.
How do you out perform perfection.
