I watched the Holdovers yesterday (it was great) and honestly I relate to the old man owning like 2 boxes of just copies of the meditation book. If I could I’d own like 20 copies of the Book of Disquiet, there would be a whole shelf dedicated to it, and I’d also gift it to everyone I know for Christmas because it was that much of a life changing read for me

The Holdovers (dir. Alexander Payne) x TIFF 2023.
Payne takes several simple premises, ideas, and well-worn character archetypes to make a touching, heartfelt film fully reminiscent of its nostalgic time period. The Holdovers sets a clear mood and vibe to the story's Northeastern setting while aping its snowy Christmas timeframe to unfold some pleasantly entertaining character development. It almost makes you want to spend an isolated winter holiday season trapped alone with [Paul] Giamatti and [Da'Vine Joy] Randolph.

When the New York Post declared this year's Best Actor race 'Lackluster' they weren't kidding. We basically have the Gay Mafia, competing against itself, and while they practically run both actors, it's obvious the Satanic cult of Scientology and its many, many Israeli members want to honor a monster, Oppenheimer, because of his Solar Cult stance about a one world government. That is what people don't get.
As usual, they can't help but casually promote their other members by use of snarky memes. Oh, come on. Don't tell me no one guessed about Cate Blanchett. Don't forget the rule in Hollywood. They don't like straight actors to play gay roles. But the reverse is just fine.
I'd rather see Paul Giamatti or Zac Efron get the award. I KNOW Giamatti is a strong actor, often overlooked and unproblematic as hell. I like him even more, now, since finding out, today that Sideways remains one of his favorite projects, as is mine. I still watch that movie, every two years, just so I can lmao, again.
Zac Efron has actually endured and survived physical abuse in the film industry. The fact that he is still going is truly more courageous than either of the top queens, currently scratching each other's eyes out over Oscar gold.

The Holdovers
There’s a scene in The Holdovers in which Paul Giamatti’s cantankerous classics teacher, Mr. Hunham, hobbles out on Christmas morning to buy a tree. It’s a last minute plug to reintroduce festivity unto the emptied out halls of his workplace, the Barton Academy boarding school. Such proves a melancholy sight. A shonky spruce, sparsely decorated, and tilting tiredly to the…
