(375) Birds of Trash Glitter + links

Watch Movies TV -

• First look at Birds of Prey is here and it is low-key horrific:
• 
• Someone on reddit described Harley's look as "slutty pinata" and it's so accurate. What is wrong with these people? Why does she have to look like hooker on meth? And now they even doubled down and she looks like a hooker on meth who fell into a dumpster filled with glitter.
• What is this? Spring Breakers? Is Franco gonna show up to start sucking a golden gun and yelling about all his shit?
• It gets worse - James Gunn is now directing Suicide Squad sequel. Why must WB pick up MCU's degenerate trash?
• Here's some videos of Jon Hamm with a beard  in Sundance promoting The Report *tries not to faint* (1,2)
• It's so Loganesque. 
• Wheeew, I can't breathe.
• Here's the cast of Velvet Buzzsaw with director Dan Gilroy. Rene is mouthing his speech and Jake is correcting his pronunciation. That poor director.
• What also premiered in Sundance was Leaving Neverland, a documentary about Michael Jackson's abuse of little kids. This will air on HBO so it's fair to say a storm is coming.
• During Gaga's performance in Vegas BCoop suddenly got up on stage to sing Shallow with her (1,2). This got a lot of buzz in the media and it was great to see Cooper finally fighting for that Oscar season attention.
• Still it's too late and the hope is lost. SAG awarded Malek. The Apocalypse is here.
• You see this? This is what happens when the movie going public goes "let's separate the art from the artist". Well done. That's 40 extra million dollars to pay the lawyers to threaten the victims.
• AMPAS had another brilliant idea this week. 
• 90 seconds isn't even long enough for Cooper to piss himself.
• It's thanks to Gaga that all songs will be performed. But in this scoop we also read that last year's winning actors weren't asked to present. What the hell? Is "disrespect" the theme of this year's ceremony? This is all so awful.
• So on top of everything else Viggo has a mustache now?!
• First trailer for Hobbs & Shaw is here. Oh it looks glorious!
• James Wan started talking about Aquaman sequel so there's a hope he is coming back. Anything else will cause panic, there is no one else but Wan who could handle the sequel.
• Meanwhile Netflix threw Snyder a bone. Cavill, Affleck and Snyder are all on Netflix now. What an embarrassing failure and well deserved one. Oh yeah  it was finally confirmed Affleck is out. So we are getting a new actor for Batman very soon.
• Christopher Nolan has a new movie which will premiere next year. We don't know anything about the plot or even who is in the film. Nolan is clearly on the level where the movie going public doesn't need to know anything beyond the fact that he is the director.
• Oscar Isaac joined Dune by Denis Villeneuve. That's some serious box office poison power combined. I mean I love Oscar but it's a flop chasing flop lately.
• This week on the Internet...
• During the weekend I stopped my rewatch of Mad Men and watching The Punisher 2 to finally catch up with movies.
• Boy Erased was so painfully mediocre and dull. The only standout in the whole film was Nicole Kidman delivering another wonderful performance but other than that nothing in this film was memorable.
• 
• I liked If Beale Street Could Talk much more than Moonlight. The score was lovely and all the actors did such a wonderful job. It's really a shame Colman went lead for The Favourite because she would easily win with King, who, while great, is in the movie very little. I also thought the film peaked very early - with the dinner they had to announce Tish's pregnancy. That was the best sequence in the whole film.
• 
• Can You Ever Forgive Me? was so great! It's in my top 5 of the year. Both Melissa McCarthy and Richard E. Grant were wonderful and the script was brilliant. It's gonna be my future isn't it? Dead flies on pillows and such.
• A Private War was a tough watch but Rosamund Pike delivered a fantastic performance. All in all the film wasn't particularly memorable but it was nice to see Pike in something better than average, she needs to be in better films!
• Bohemian Rhapsody was so tiresome. And Malek is so creepy in that, how the hell does he have stans? I shit you not at one point Littlefinger shows up and acts exactly the same like he did on Game of Thrones. There is so much wrong with this movie but the most astonishing thing is that it's boring. How do you make a boring movie about Queen? Why the fuck did AMPAS nominate it for Best Picture? What is going on?!
• Those poor cats witnessing this mess, oh Jesus....
• Wildlife was pretty good but the real standount was Carey Mulligan's performance.
• 
• On Tuesday I got allergic reaction to mascara (this is the kind of stuff that happens to me) so I stayed home and binged Black Mirror. I watched the episodes I've never seen before, including brilliant Nosedive and I finally finished Bandersnathch and the story there was really boring. I mean it's such a cool idea to do an interactive episode and that's the best they could come up with?
• I rewatched White Christmas, obviously:
• 
• Yeah, like anyone would block him.
• Or hated being in a cabin with him.
• Or being ordered by him.
• I'm gonna shut up now.
• I also rewatched Zack and Miri Make a Porno which is one of my all time favorite romantic comedies. Then yesterday I saw Edge of Seventeen for the first time because Netflix is removing it soon. It was delightful! And after that I watched Freddy vs Jason, because of course I did.
