O is for Oscar

I'd like to thank my family....

   The Oscars are on tomorrow night and millions of people will be glued to their seats, anxiously awaiting the big events that make up the program.
   Will there be a wardrobe malfunction and a hidden part of the female anatomy suddenly is exposed?
   Which winner will  be the first to criticize the president or his policies?
   Which winner will defend the president?
   Which winner will go on and on and on in their acceptance speech, only to forget a spouse or other significant person in their life?
   And most of all...which movie will win.
   I have not seen any of the nominated movies this year.  Call me movie lazy, but I just haven't.
   Maybe they don't interest me.  So, if anyone with Hollywood connections reads this, here are some suggestions for movies that would interest me.
   Lost in IKEAland      This is based on the tv show lost.  Contestants are dropped off in an IKEA store and expected to survive five days without being found.  The winner gets one ton of meatballs and two jars of lingonberries.  Sauce sold separately.  Some assembly required.
   Flight 007     This exciting movie is based on a real event, not fake news!  Imagine the terror, humor, romance that envelopes  220 passengers on an airplane grounded in a small Canadian village due to engine failure.  Unable to leave the plane for 12 hours, this up close look inside the cabin shows the best, and worst, of humanity.
   Snowunbound     Follow the wild and crazy antics of Benny the snowplow driver as he handles record nonsnows in the winter of 2016/17.  Watch as he endlessly checks weather apps, greases his blade, and practises ramming mailboxes at 20 mph.  Learn how he has discovered the key to plowing in driveways seconds after residents clean them out.  Wacky mayhem on wheels.
   Unschooled   This clever comedy follows a public school as it begins to compete with charter schools after a takeover of the school system by morons.  Watch children react to learning the Earth is flat and the sun revolves around the Earth.  See the confusion on students' faces as they learn the Earth is really only 2,000 years old and Noah actually had dinosaurs on the ark, but giant mutated gorillas ate them for food.  And see the pride in creating a solemn ceremony for Bowling Green Massacre Day.  This could be a warm, yet funny, comedy.
   What the Fhappened    Done in documentary style, like "Best in Show" or "A Mighty Wind," this informative 90 minute documentary focuses on the last days of the Clinton campaign, including exclusive footage of busloads of Massachusetts voters driving to Hawaii to vote as well as interviews with 4.5 million other illegal voters who apparently exist in some one's mind.  It will be great.  Maybe the best movie of the bunch.  Tremendous.
   That's all for tonight.  Being creative hurts my head.  Or maybe it was the wine.
   Anyway, I won't be watching tomorrow night.  Maybe I'll rent a movie instead.


Wine and cheese in the museum today.... it was a nice time to visit with my brother from another mother
