"Sub" is like linguistic razor blades to me

[knives]

Sub is definitely what normal people say I say as someone who grew up part time in Harrisburg.

[jindianajonz]

I think we can all agree that it should simply be called a meated longbun

[Lemmy Caution]

I only get cheese subs ...

(well, when I used to live in the US, get subs and still ate cheese)

Beautiful

[FrauBlucher]

Hoagie or Sub, neither are correct. Brooklyn's Hero is the correct moniker for this delectable delight. And the true Oscar (have to keep this thread relevant) winner is a guy named Louie Bruno. He was a WWII vet that owned a Hero shop when I was a kid. On his left hand, he was missing the tops of 4 fingers from mid joint. He said it happened in the war, but it sounds better than saying he caught them in the slicer. If you can get by that visual, his Heros were the best things you've ever ate and the aromas were intoxicating. Everything was so fresh. His hole in the wall shop was across the street from a park where there would be a hundred or so people of most ages playing basketball, roller hockey, handball, stickball and just running around having a good old time. The park and Louie Bruno's (as it was referred to) coexisted in wonderful harmony.

None of this makes anybody a hero, but Hollywood, the modern press and celebrity gawkers are always going to resolve things into simplistic binaries.

Exactly.

I'm imagining the insane conspiracy theory of what would have happened in the event La La Land had won, but Beatty was still handed Stone's card - surely someone would have realized he had the wrong card on Twitter by zooming in, starting a theory they announced the wrong winner? Would AMPAS have even realized a mistake?

That'd have been interesting really.

Armond White weighs in on the Oscar controversy. Oh boy.

[swo17]

Don't miss his callback to the Oscar discussion further below in the Catfight review:

Tukel means to shake up "our state of unawareness" and "collective dread," but the Oscars inadvertently beat him to it.

[domino harvey]

Clearly neither Trump nor White saw the red carpet this year if they think there was no glamour. Then again, I am 100% certain White did not actually watch a single second of the Oscars, so

[goblinfootballs]

Armond White weighs in on the Oscar controversy. Oh boy.

Secretly funded placards!

[swo17]

It was typography's fault.

[domino harvey]

[Brian C]

??????? Huh what now? ???

That ad makes no sense to me and I feel like I'm missing something.

[knives]

'Who stole the oscars' means who stole the attention at the awards ceremony while awkwardly referring to how there was a controversy.

[Brian C]

Right but in what way did Lion steal the attention? I seriously don't remember it even coming up. I can't even tell you what clips played when its nominees were announced.

[knives]

The kid who played young Dev Patel was in a skit and I guess the sort of old people into Lion found that adorable?

[Brian C]

Oh. Lame.

[domino harvey]

This ad is Weinstein trying to put his foot in the door weeks after the event in question even happened, it's just pathetic more than anything

[colinr0380]

I don't know, its always good to see young actors getting lionised.

[John Shade]

Armond White weighs in on the Oscar controversy. Oh boy.

Armond White: Kimmel’s ushering a busload of tourists into the front row of the Dolby Theater to gawk at their fancy-dressed superiors. Historians should note this as a key moment illustrating the mores of the Obama-era aristocracy and the culture war: 1-percenters lording it over 99-percenters as if Hollywood Boulevard were Versailles.

Only Armond could write this, well maybe Zizek. I'll be the one on this forum to say...I kind of agree with him.

[Altair]

Stopped clock and all that... Zizek has the blessing of having a sense of humour, as opposed to White, who is unbelievably po-faced and sanctimonious.

[John Shade]

Stopped clock and all that... Zizek has the blessing of having a sense of humour, as opposed to White, who is unbelievably po-faced and sanctimonious.

This is true. I also think the fact that he writes for NR has forced the last eight years of his writing to involve some sort of Obama conspiracy.

[Fred Holywell]

Right but in what way did Lion steal the attention? I seriously don't remember it even coming up.

Apparently, Weinstein picked up the line from Time mag and ran with it:
