Well, the 2021 Oscar telecast is now ignominious history. Glad I didn’t watch it! With its all-time low ratings, beyond the inaccurate and condescending statements, the awards themselves were misdirected.
Francis McDormand wins for a third time? No way. Her performance wasn’t even in her top 10. Cary Mulligan in Promising Young Woman and Andra Day in The United States vs. Billie Holiday got gypped, big time.
Woke and Broke
Nomadland is the best picture? What a yawner. The Trial of the Chicago 7, with all of its inaccuracies, Promising Young Woman, and The United States vs. Billie Holiday were far better films.

BTW, Glenn Close is now 0 for 8. Next year if she doesn’t receive a lifetime achievement Oscar award, then the woke Oscars are completely broken, given that the show and any awards are even scheduled for next year.
Also, how long will it be before they rename the “Oscar” award to some ‘non-binary’ name to satisfy the idiot woke Academy members?
That said, here are three current films, each quite skippable, although the first has its merits:
Stowaway
Despite the bad reviews it’s receiving, I found this movie to be an intriguing think piece, wrestling with the moral dilemma, do you let one person on board your spaceship to Mars die so that three others can live, or do you act with imprudence and condemn all four travelers?
Shamier Anderson, as the unwitting stowaway, adds some spark to the movie.
The Virtuoso
With Anthony Hopkins in a bit part, this movie takes us behind the scenes with a hitman, and how he carefully plans his jobs. For about half the movie this is quite captivating. Then, slowly, inconsistencies begin to plague the film a little, but it’s still good.
Finally, the last five minutes upend everything in the plot: so many holes now become evident, that you wonder about the mental faculties of the script writer and the director.
Shiva Baby
This train wreck of a film, replete with every Jewish stereotype you can imagine, might be semi-amusing to some, for a few moments. To have an entire film, (held at a wake, following a funeral) essentially shot in the same few rooms of a house, with tired semi-plot lines that you’ve seen 1,000 times, is beyond disappointing.
How often can the protagonist be asked by nagging Jewish aunts, “How come you’re so thin?” “How come you don’t have a boyfriend?” etc. Don’t merely skip this movie, tell everybody you know to skip it.

Student Drinking and Drug Abuse on Campus is Over the Top
What kind of society, de facto, condones such reckless behavior?
The senseless loss of five university students in a house fire has stung my community. These were top students, accomplished individuals, and potential leaders.
Someone has got to ask the tough questions right now, while the pain of their loss is intense. In what kind of society do presumably the best and brightest engage in highly questionable activities? An all-night party? Started at what hour? Preceded by what? To end when?
How much alcohol flows? How many drugs are dispensed? Obtained from and by whom? Ingested by whom? How many cigarettes are lit? How many butts wantonly burn down to nothing? What else is lit and smoked?

Foolish Behavior Condoned
The largest and toughest question of all behind these is what kind of society, de facto, condones such foolish and, in too many tragic instances, reckless behavior? Drunk students falling out of windows to their death, engaged in chugging contests until they vomit, on weeknights no less, walking the campus in a state of high lethargy? Being rushed to emergency wards?
Sure, install the proper sprinkler and alarm systems, but acknowledge the ruthless reality that confronts us. Colleges today are the stomping grounds for legions of students who drink and take drugs with abandon. They sit like zombies in morning classes if they can make it out of bed at all. Professors pretend that it is not happening. University administrators accept such behavior as ‘part of the times.’
Such phenomena are more wide sweeping than anyone cares to admit. They are testament to the abandonment of standards, the ‘everything is allowed’ overly permissive culture in which no student is safe.
Break the Silence
If the students who died were among the finest people that communities engender, what does their loss portend for others? And when will responsible adults break the silence about the utter absurdity with which too many students live their lives?
