NATHANIEL R in Green Book, Queen Latifah, Ruth E Carter, Titanic, Twitter, release dates

curated by Nathaniel R 

 Aint that just the truth? I think tweet above is a very important thought that all critics and audience members and awards voters should keep in mind every damn year. And it works whether or not a movie is any good. A lot of people don't like these two movies mentioned above but it's even true of great great movies, perceived and received differently depending on the release dates. It's a real shame.
After the jump tweets on making movies "for the fans," ascendant gay icon must-haves, "Shallow" ear worm, Ruth E Carter's destiny, and a few leftover Oscar tweets...

 

filmmakers keep saying they're making blockbuster movies "for the fans," but Steve & Bucky still haven't kissed onscreen. makes u think. 🤔

As an ascendant gay icon you should own:

1 original Italian lobby card for the 1954 “A Star Is Born”.

1 large portrait of Bette Davis dressed as a whirling dervish.

1 klonopin rx

1 seroquel rx

1 lithium rx

1 agéd diabetic cat

I KNOW I DO.

It’s weird that Russians are so anti-gay. They invented the concept of a woman inside a woman inside a woman inside a woman inside a woman.

This was a trap. Everyone who said MAD MAX: FURY ROAD has been blocked and reported.

Spin Instructor has played “Shallow” in class every day so far this week. Does he want to? Or does he feel pressured by Society?

I've settled on the fact that the Cohen saga will be turned into a movie nominated for eight Oscars with only one win for Best Supporting Actress Jessica Chastain as Stormy Daniels.

AND A FEW LEFTOVER OSCAR TWEETS.... WHY NOT? HAPPY NO LONGER OSCAR SEASON TO EVERYONE OUT THERE!

 

Can’t believe Green Book and Monét X Change tied for Best Picture. #Oscars

Remember how BLACKKKLANSMAN ends with, "oh yeah nothing has changed and we haven't learned anything?" And people were like, "that's really on the nose."

Anyway, GREEN BOOK won.

Oh my god they asked Queen Latifah to introduce the movie about the secretly lesbian Queen? You SHADY, @TheAcademy.

the thing is, Freddie Mercury would have liked The Favorite so much better than Bohemian Rhapsody

My first Oscar nomination was in 1992 for Malcolm X. Costume Design is the only job I know. At around 25 yrs old and today over 25 years later I see I had connected to my dream, my purpose, my afro-future very early in life. God is good. pic.twitter.com/lnrB8ebif3

And we'll close with that stunning flashback from Ruth E Carter ! Look at that. Baby Ruth wearing an Oscars sweatshirt before all her tremendous costume work got to the screen!
