Immediately following the announcement of the 2024 Oscar nominations, our forums were flooded with reactions from our notoriously opinionated posters, many of whom are industry insiders shielded by screen names. As in previous years, the recognition of certain movies and artists elicited jubilant praise, while the exclusion (and inclusion) of others sparked disappointment and even fury.
The vastly varied response to this year’s roster of Oscar contenders proves once again that the academy can’t please all film fans. Below is just a sampling of our sassy forum posters’ brutally honest comments regarding the 2024 nominees. Take a look, then join the conversation if you dare.

Anne Heche, the Emmy-winning actress who starred in films like Six Days, Seven Nights and the Psycho remake, but whose own career was curtailed by struggles with mental illness, died August 12 at the age of 53 following injuries she sustained in a car crash in Los Angeles.

From playing separated-at-birth twins on Another World and fronting Men in Trees to starring in features including Six Days Seven Nights, Psycho and Volcano, she became a familiar face and beloved actress.

Heche has been adept at comedy and drama, lead and supporting roles and big or small screens. After breaking out on Another World in the late 1980s — in a Daytime Emmy-winning dual role still revered by soap opera fans — she did supporting turns opposite A-list stars in such early-’90s features as I’ll Do Anything and Milk Money before landing a lead opposite Josh Charles in 1995’s Pie in the Sky.

In the wake of suffering a severe brain injury one week ago as a result of a devastating car crash, it’s being reported today that Anne Heche has tragically passed away.
The actress was just 53 years old, leaving behind two children.
“Anne had a huge heart and touched everyone she met with her generous spirit,” Heche’s reps said in a statement. “More than her extraordinary talent, she saw spreading kindness and joy as her life’s work — especially moving the needle for acceptance of who you love. She will be remembered for her courageous honesty and dearly missed for her light.”
Heche had been in a coma since the crash in L.A.’s Mar Vista neighborhood on Friday, August 5. She had been under investigation for reportedly driving under the influence.

England and America are two countries separated by a common language but – as George Bernard Shaw would doubtless have added if he’d had a Sky TV package in the 1990s – joined by a common love of The Simpsons. Homer and co. are universal. It doesn’t matter if you buy your groceries at Walmart or do your big shop at Asda, The Simpsons speaks to us all.
Every so often though, what The Simpsons speaks to UK viewers is momentarily baffling – a reminder that wherever Springfield is, it’s not where we’re from. The same goes for other US sitcoms beloved in the UK. However much kinship we share, our rules are different. These are the American sitcom plots that introduced British TV fans to some of the curious legal differences between us.

Raise your hand if you’re not ready for Schitt’s Creek to end. Over the course of five seasons that range from the heartwarming to the sobering—sometimes within a single episode—we have watched the Rose family’s evolution. Starting out as out-of-touch as the Bluths, over the course of five-and-a-bit seasons, the Rose family has overcome their fall from extravagance to become an extended, messy, well-meaning family.
On the other side of the coin, the town of Schitt’s Creek has evolved from nasty stereotype to welcoming home… for most of the characters, at least. With the beloved series now wrapped, we’re putting on some Rose-colored glasses to remember 14 of the best episodes—from country hijinks to earworms to unprecedented (and joyous) Lgbtq+ representation.
Because this series’ strongest point—and a huge determiner in favorite episodes—concerns the Rose family’s personal arcs, some of this list will tend toward the spoilery.

Next month over on streaming giant Netflix offers up a giant selection of films of all stripes — modern to classic, animated to live action, Oscar contender to…not so much — and we’ve picked seven (well, really 11) that you should watch as soon as humanly possible, either for the first time or as part of a nostalgic little binge. Enjoy.
1. “Footloose” (available September 1)
If you’ve never experienced the original “Footloose” — no, not the one starring Miles Teller, though he is quite serviceable in a charming role — do yourself a favor and check out Herbert Ross’ 1984 classic. Yes, the concept of a town outlawing dancing is bizarre and outdated, but Ross and his cast (including Kevin Bacon in the kind of star-making role that’s so rare these days) really sell the concept, thanks to some serious drama and hard-earned emotion. But there is also dancing! It’s joyous and gymnastic and pure,...

Our favourite moments from Stand By MeOur favourite moments from Stand By MeAdriana Floridia8/22/2016 11:18:00 Am
It's hard to believe that it has been thirty years since Gordie, Chris, Teddy and Vern embarked on a journey to find the dead body of a local boy. What sounded like a morbid adventure actually resulted in one of the most touching films about friendship to ever grace the screen. The chemistry of the four young actors, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Wil Wheaton and Jerry O'Connell, was undeniable--these boys really felt like best friends, and the film is still the best example of male bonding that we've ever seen.
We can thank writer Stephen King for that, as the horror novelist wrote the short story "The Body" that inspired Rob Reiner's film. King has stated that Stand By Me is the best adaptation ever made of his work, and we'd have to agree.

Sarah White, a 24-year-old ‘psychology buff,’ is currently offering naked therapy sessions for New Yorkers. While I enjoy a naked lady as much as the next character from Milk Money, I’m slightly skeptical — here’s Ms. White’s SEXplanation (typo): “For men especially, who are less likely than women to go to therapy, it is more interesting, more enticing, more exciting,” said White. “It’s a more inspiring approach to therapy.” Ehhh…I think a more accurate statement would be that same quote just ending at “exciting.” Naked people is just a more exciting thing than therapy. It’d be like someone showing NFL Games during therapy and being like “Men tend to enjoy this more than conventional therapy, so it’s a better form of therapy.” She then gets nakeder (quotewise): “Freud used free association,” she said. “I use nakedness.” That’s not a comparison, that...
