And then the sun itself will turn us all to sand

Spurred by a gloomy desire to know what the hell movie Spike Lee's era-defining Do the Right Thing (1989) lost Best Original Screenplay to at the 62nd Academy Awards, spatch and I just spent the last hour reading Oscar nominations and results from 1990 onward, an activity punctuated by frequent cries of "[X] was robbed!" "[Y] should have been nominated!" and "That was poop!" I had forgotten how many years I had opinions about. I've seen even more of those movies now. I have more opinions.

The answer to our original question, by the way, was Dead Poets Society. My opinion about that is: "That was poop!"

Ahaha, I went down that rabbit hole a bit, but had to stop because it was too enraging/depressing. (Remember Maurice getting ONE nomination?)

I ALWAYS FORGET BECAUSE IT SHOULD HAVE WON (most of) THEM ALL.

IT REALLY SHOULD HAVE! W.T.F. (The book is really good too.)
