2021 Oscar Picks
My apologies, but with the craziness associated with the pandemic this year, I didn't have it in me to track down as many Oscar nominated films as possible and then review them to make Oscar picks.
Hopefully next year.
Congratulations to the nominees!

Between the Lines
Thursday, April 15, 2021
I do keep reading about how critical the situation is in Canadian and Québecois hospitals at the moment, so I do recommend continuing to social distance, wear masks, and stick close to home, even if you've been vaccinated (so many people still have to be vaccinated).
I also highly recommend getting vaccinated.
I'm hoping things can start returning to normal after around 80% of the population has been vaccinated.
That day's hopefully not too far away.
I'm dreadfully bored but I'm staying the course.
Lives are at stake for frontline workers.
Takeout on Saturday for me.
That's about it apart from routine errands.
I can't just write about the pandemic all the time.
It just exasperates an already grim situation.
Keepin' it as real as I can.
Highly recommend getting vaccinated.

Witnesses to a crime must choose between cash and conscience, the police desperate to find a witness, the killer flagitiously roaming free.
There's more accommodation than you might expect but not if greed recklessly overflows, grievous tests of heinous hang-ups begetting morose mortal woes.
The initial crime is callously compounded by further murderous malfeasance, as it becomes apparent that the very same culprit also terminated innocent true love.
When the bereaved forsakenly discovers the rampant illicit carnage, he sets off to furiously avenge his unsuspecting humble sweetheart.
It's much easier to suddenly confront higher-ups in this old school style of film, and soon an extended street fight reminds one of The Quiet Man or They Live.
But by the belligerent declarative end it becomes despondently clear, that another is responsible heretofore delegating unscathed.
The despondent lover resolutely agrees to help the local constabulary, as does another witness who is soon grimly betrayed.
A crooked counsel distressfully dissembling is soon caught by just repose.
But can his intel make amends?
As righteousness implodes.
Modest nondescript bold filmmaking jurisprudently avails within, as corruption and rehabilitation mutually balliset unhinged.
Imposed amoral mechanization confronts conscientious betrayal, as upright balanced codes of conduct disenchantingly detect treachery.
Suppose that's the way things go as cultures cultivate civilization, alternative visions boisterously clashing swathed in disconsolate ideological conflict.
Those who enjoy the conflict chaotically prosper beyond reason, irreconcilable institutional sophistries ensuring unconcerned abstract elevations.
In the artistic realm such elevations make for compelling books, Proust et les signes (Deleuze) for instance which isn't too abstruse.
In politics however you would hope one outlook doesn't govern inherent multiplicities, unless such a viewpoint encourages multicultural lateral growth and inclusive sustainable employment (or there's a pandemic on and people need to wear masks, stick close to home, and social distance, in order to avoid catching and then spreading a deadly virus).
Too bad mutually constructive lateral growth so often gives way to imperial ambitions.
I'd rather chill in Parc Jeanne-Mance myself.
