I found it interesting that she's the first person I can recall who sang the songs with Julie's enunciations and phrasings.

Full performance, no embedding.

Birdman is one of the best movies I've ever seen. Glad it won.

Birdman is on my list now. I'll just try to forget the clown who made it.

Yeah, me too. She absolutely nailed that last nite. Sounded more like Julie Andrews than Julie Andrews.

The guy is a pill, there's an extra on Children of Men lauding itself to the heavens for being a call to arms on the imminent apocalypse of global warming.

Children of Men is a Cuaron film.

But yeah, I've suffered through that 40 min bonus feature too. So. Much. Zizek.

Yes. All of them, and folks in the music industry (all entertainers pretty-much) should just do their trade then go away. They all lead lives that are so far from reality that even they should understand they're views are skewed..

If they want to make a politically interesting movie/song, go for it, just leave it at that.

Baby Lee 02-23-2015 03:51 PM

What's interesting is how these political speeches in recent years seem to have eroded/muddled whether they are talking about society or their trade.

For instance Arquette's equal pay screed. Who was that for? What action was it seeking to initiate?

Her industry, from set and crew right on up, not just the stars, is one of the worst in the country for wage inequality. But at least from the box office side, that's just a fiscal reality of meritocracy.

But if she's talking about society in general, what was the impetus? I admit I might not be aware of how much Boyhood is about mom's money troubles. But it didn't seem like a message movie until Arquette made it one.

It seems like we are entering an era where statements don't have to have gravitas or substance or coherence. Just a set of code words that indicate you are down.

Acceptance speech 2016 - "Gay people, single mothers, the homeless, good night . . . "

Next day, a wall of buzz about the pressing issues Acceptance Speech brought to prominence. Social media high fives itself endlessly for being down with Acceptance Speech's message.

The reason people do that is strictly money. They don't actually care about those causes. They're just appealing to a demographic. This is especially true in the case of the MLK movie and the Glory song. It's masterfully executed.

Arquette's speech was especially amusing considering THE MOVIE WAS ABOUT A BOY.

To her credit, she was probably drunk

The irony is that Hollywood is still racist as ****.

The cast of Birdman was ALL WHITE.

They are forced to be racist sexist and classist. The ticket buying public demands it. They only buy tickets to white man action movies.

Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Eddie Murphy and Samuel L Jackson say hello.

In fact I'm pretty sure Focus is about to be a huge hit. Granted a large part of that is because of the pretty white woman in it. LMAO
