You all might find the first 5 minutes of Green Book interesting

I thought it was your strongest work since Treme. It's a travesty you didn't get a Golden Globe nod.

I thought him being on Treme was fairly well-covered ground on here.

TAN: Treme is a criminally underrated program. It is so, so good.

Underrated by who?!?

As I recall it was a hit and won tons of recognition

Riveting performance Seth!  Excellent film.  Is that Tarantino knocking on your door?

Congratulations on the Golden Globe win last night, Seth. Is Green Book considered more of a musical or a comedy?

Golden Globe nominations….yes, Bohemian Rhapsody was entertaining….but best drama? Really? It got a 49 on metacritic…

And where the heck are any indie films? There were tons of good ones this year.


Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy
Crazy Rich Asians
The Favourite
Green Book
Mary Poppins Returns
Vice
Best Motion Picture – Drama
“Black Panther”
“BlacKkKlansman”
“Bohemian Rhapsody”
“If Beale Streat Could Talk”
“A Star Is Born


Apparently they let my daughter pick the best drama winner this year. I would have predicted Eighth Grade, but it wasn't nominated and alas she went with the critically panned Bohemian Rhapsody.

I say, as a big fan of the original, that your post is on point.

I found it underwhelming, the complete opposite of Free Solo.
