Sunday night was the 92nd Academy Awards and not many surprised as usual. Not a lot of films really stood out or me (personally) this year but I do recognize the ones which have gained a lot of critical acclaim. One movie I wish I had gotten to see on the big screen (specifically IMAX) was "1917." Not for being an epic movie but because it is WWI and next to WWII, that is one my favorite historical wars ... if one can favor wars that is. But it did end up winning a couple of awards, more technical stuff while "Parasite" took home the majority of gold last night! This will open doors for the director but for that style of film? It will but in the very limited sense as the studios still need to make money. Not a profit but lots of money to stay afloat and films like this one aren't big box office, just big awards.
Weekly Update:Early to mid-week I started to get a sore throat ... ugh. I hate these and just make everything miserable. But than again any illness makes everything miserable. Started off like a rough swallow on Monday and I started to take vitamin C and Tylenol to combat it! the next day the sore was worse but not by much. Loaded up on soups, warm tea and OJ. I then started to take some NyQuil and did a lot of sleeping (or as much as I could). Got the humidifier out for the night time as well, which reminds me I need to get more distilled water to have on hand. After the third morning, the sore was about 75% gone! Can still feel it a bit but now the thick mucus is building up some (eeeww, I know). So took some warmer showers to break it up and kept on on the OJ. Hopefully that has knocked it out with our crazy cold weather as of late.
At the movies:
A new #1 takes the box office with a smash ... Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) earns a 33.3 million weekend however sets it on track to be under 100 mil cume total. Pretty close to initial projections and word-of-mouth is fair. Drop down to #2 is "Bad Boys for Life" with 12 mil extra as it crawls to 200 mil now, still reachable. Also dropping down to #3 is "1917" with 9 mil and it could get a second wind tonight if the Oscars are in their favor. Holding on to #4 is "Dolittle" with 6.7 mil extra and just about out of steam. Rounding off the top 5 is "Jumanji: The Next Level" with 5.5 mil as it is now inches away from 300 mil and should get it by the end of the week.
