      Green Book is, I guess, just a movie I'm never gonna get. Like I get why people find it entertaining, but I don't think I'll ever understand why people find it to be "the movie we need right now," no matter how many industry folks I talk to.

      Like people are going to the mat for it! And it's, at best, thoroughly competent middlebrow filmmaking. There is Nothing Wrong With That. But I don't get why some behave as if it realigned their cosmos.

      I do sincerely believe there is some sort of generational divide thing around this movie I probably won't get, because I'm just on the "too young" side of it, one of the few times I've been able to say that in recent years.

      That said, the presence of it has made this awards season 20 percent more hilarious in just about every way, so. I'm in favor.

      Oh, actually: This is a REAL PUZZLE to me -- why did Star Is Born just sort of fizzle? It felt like such a classic Oscar kind of thing, and then it... wasn't. I guess it's the remake thing, but it's not like the year's other frontrunners are paragons of originality.

      Like if this year is the old, traditionalist Academy returning to centerstage -- and it sure seems like that's the developing narrative -- Star Is Born shouldn't really be hindered by its "fifth version of the same story" thing. Weird year.

      Plus, it's a big hit, something the Academy seemingly wants to reward, while Green Book is a minor double. Weird!

      I guess Green Book's secret weapon is that it's such an unassuming little thing with a message that's hard to disagree with -- people should be nice to each other -- that if you try to argue its themes are A Part of the Problem Today, you come off seeming like a spoilsport.

      It's such an uncool movie -- like even its supporters agree it's basically a Best Picture contender airlifted in from 1995 -- that attacking it on the grounds of being Even More Uncool Than You'd Think feels a little like piling on, which prompts defensiveness.

      Replying to @emilyvdw @tvoti

      It's a movie made by white people that makes white people feel good about how they overcame racism instead of being a movie that reminds them that racism is still happening and it's very, very bad out there. Of white oscar voters love it.
