I've been struggling for inspiration today which is a good reason to clear my head via the dispensing of a whole lot of randomness. And by randomness I mean, compilation lists.
We have so many Oscar races to discuss and a few more interviews and I don't know what's keeping me but until the next post, please to enjoy these marvelous tweets from the week that was, divided into helpful subcategories for your skimming pleasure. These are the only posts you are allowed to skim. Otherwise you should read. Reading is fundamental.
RANDOMNESS
Jupiter Ascending: I found 90% of it incomprehensible but the other 10% seemed to be a sci-fi remake of Maid In Manhattan.

Still think someone should make a narrative film from @MarkHarrisNYC's Pictures at a Revolution. Whoever plays Rex Harrison wins the Oscar.

I still can't believe that Sam Taylor-Johnson had the option of being "Sam Johnson-Wood" and rejected it.

If people just halved their superhero talk and replaced it with indie fervor, both industries could be successful. #SaylesNotSpiderman

Big big fan of Patricia Arquette's upcoming 1-2 punch of winning an Oscar and then starring in a new CSI spinoff.

I think this next one is SO TRUE. I've long wondered what that's about. I knew so much about showbiz and pop culture from before my time when I was a kid? Was it just that there was less pop culture (3 channels, less film releases, bigger stars but fewer of them?) and you weren't constantly bombarded with the new? Maybe younger readers can speak up about this weird modern problem.
Can someone explain this thing where young people don't know pop culture from yrs ago? I was 20 in '85 & I knew who The Andrews Sisters were

I'm not sure how adding Spider-Man prevents me from obtaining less than the zero Infinity Stones I already don't have.

When your movie (A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night) is awesome but underseen...
I hope people watch my film on Valentine's Day and then touch each other's privates.

When you're tasked with directing a pop culture mainstay...
Just wookieepedia'd whether "lightsaber" is one or two words, so don't worry your childhoods are in very safe hands.

When you need to remind everyone that you're actually talented when you've had a rough year -- throw their attention back on an early success!

Most fun bonus of watching either season of The Comeback is that your cadences and mannerisms can't help becoming more Kudrovian afterwards.

There's actually an actress named Meryl Hathaway. That woman is playing with fire with a name like that.

People do realize that Beyoncé wasn’t the first artist to do a visual album, don’t they?
— Nathaniel Rogers (@nathanielr) February 9, 2015
It's sad that Beyonce is so marginalized by the music industry and the public at large.
