This blog will present news items about the motion picture business, with emphasis on lower budget, independent film in most cases. Some reviews or commentaries on specific films, with emphasis on significance (artistic or political) or comparison, are presented. Note: No one pays me for these reviews; they are not "endorsements"! Starting in May 2016, many of the reviews for new feature films have been done on a hosted Wordpress site, and this blog now mostly does shorts and older films.
Since the 1990s I have been very involved with fighting the military "don't ask don't tell" policy for gays in the military, and with First Amendment issues. Best contact is 571-334-6107 (legitimate calls; messages can be left; if not picked up retry; I don't answer when driving) Three other url's: doaskdotell.com, billboushka.com johnwboushka.com Links to my URLs are provided for legitimate content and user navigation purposes only.
My legal name is "John William Boushka" or "John W. Boushka"; my parents gave me the nickname of "Bill" based on my middle name, and this is how I am generally greeted. This is also the name for my book authorship. On the Web, you can find me as both "Bill Boushka" and "John W. Boushka"; this has been the case since the late 1990s. Sometimes I can be located as "John Boushka" without the "W." That's the identity my parents dealt me in 1943!
"Parasite" is first foreign-language film to ever win Best Picture, as politics covers up the Oscars tonight
This was the night for politics at the Oscars, perhaps, as
Kate Cohenpredictedin the Washington Post (for the 92nd Academy
Awards).
At the end, “Parasite” , Boon Joong Ho’s satire in Korean,
became the first foreign language film to ever win Best Picture.While
the rich family was away, the caretaking family found the gangsters in the bomb
shelters set up anticipated Kim Kong Un.
The link for the Oscar winners was here on ABC Go:
Joaquin Phoneix, after winning best actor for “Joker”, gave
an impassioned speech about not only intersectionality, but about our not being
the only species (yes, orcas are people and should have the rights of humans)
and even did a guilt trip about putting milk in his coffee.
Brad Pitt ranted about the impeachment "trial", asreported in many rags.
The Kodak Theater in LA is really big, like an opera house. They had rainstorms earlier this evening, and now the parties start. WJLA Good Morning Washington will cover it at 4:25 AM Monday.
