Lisa Marie’s Week In Review: 3/18/24 — 3/24/24


As I spend this Holy Week with my sisters, I shall be keeping Kate Middleton in my thoughts.

I’ve seen a lot of social media posts over the past few days that all, more or less, say that, “We should all feel ashamed for spreading rumors about William and Kate.”  While I agree that there are a lot of people who should be ashamed, I don’t really appreciate this “we” business.  I didn’t make a single joke, post a single rumor, or otherwise join in the online harassment of Kate and William.  The same is true of most of the people that I know.  Most people are better than that.  If anyone should feel ashamed, it’s the members of the media who spread rumors and innuendo for clicks and attention.  Don’t let them get away with pretending everyone else was in on it with them.

Welcome To Oscar Sunday!


Oscar, in happier times

Welcome to Oscar Sunday!

Today is practically a holiday for me.  As someone who loves movies and who also loves award shows, the Oscar Ceremony is an important annual event.  I really don’t feel like the previous year is over until the Oscars have been handed out.  For me, I won’t truly be able to move on from 2023 and really plunge into 2024 until the award for Best Picture is handed out.

It’s true that the Oscars are not what they once were.  There have been some truly abysmal recent Oscar ceremonies and the show’s declining ratings are a testament to the fact that the Oscars are not quite the cultural phenomena that they once were.  There’s less glamour in Hollywood and the annual ceremony sometimes seems to alternate between trying too hard or not trying hard enough to keep up with the times.  The last few ceremonies have mostly been memorable for how the people screwed up, like when La La Land was declared Best Picture or Steven Soderbergh tried to turn the ceremony into a terrible Ocean’s sequel.  People may not remember all of the winners but they will always remember Will Smith self-destructing while the cameras rolled.

And I don’t really have high hopes for this ceremony.  Yes, the ratings should see an improvement.  The mix of Barbie and Oppenheimer will provide the show with a boost.  But host Jimmy Kimmel has always been hit or miss and I don’t think anyone is looking forward to the inevitable lecturing that seems to go with shows like this.  I hope we’ll be spared any of the “Celebrities Are Just Like Us” stuff that was so popular just a few years ago.  I don’t want to see Hollywood celebrities invading a movie theater.  I don’t want the host forcing people to buy cookies from his children.  Personally, I think it’s hilarious that the Oscar selfie had to be memory-holed because Kevin Spacey managed to sneak into the background.  (And, of course, Ellen is no longer quite the beloved figure she used to be.)

But, for all the bad things, there’s also the good moments that make it worth it.  Last year, the Daniels were a bit insufferable but Ke Huy Quan gave a beautiful acceptance speech.  The year before that, Will Smith acted like an ass but CODA‘s victory proved that there was a place for a small, heartfelt film.  Steven Soderbergh’s Oscars were a mess but it was a fascinating mess, a true example of what happens when a major talent takes a silly assignment too seriously.  The Oscars, in the end, are meant to be fun.  We cheer when our favorites win and we get mad when they lose.  We watch for the good acceptance speeches but we also watch for the regrettable ones.  The Oscars and Oscar Sunday are still a part of our pop culture and they’re something that I look forward to every year.

And, of course, we’ll be celebrating Oscar Sunday all day here at the Shattered Lens!  So, fasten your seat belts.  It might be a bumpy ride but the destination will be worth it.

Lisa Marie’s Week In Review: 2/12/24 — 2/18/24


Hi, everyone!

Well, after three weeks of sickness, pain, and injury, I am finally feeling better.  My sprained ankle is healing up nicely and I’m up and walking again, even if I am limping a little.  This upcoming week, Jeff and I will be doing all of the romantic stuff that we were originally planning on doing this week.  (It’s hard to be romantic when you’re spending almost all day on the couch and crying because you turned your foot the wrong way during your ankle exercises.)  The most important thing, though, is that I feel like I’m back, both mentally and physically.  After spending the last few weeks in an emotional and pain-induced daze, I feel like I’m finally ready to jump back into the important things, like trying to predict the Oscars.

Here’s what I watched, read, and listened to this week!

Happy Valentine’s Day From The Shattered Lens


It Must Be Valentine’s Day by Erin Nicole

Whether you’re single or if you’re in a committed relationship or even if you don’t care about any of that stuff, the Shattered Lens wishes you a happy Valentine’s Day!  Or, if you’d prefer, a happy February 14th!

(As for myself, I’m more than happy with a simple “Have a blessed Ash Wednesday.”)

Have a wonderful day, no matter what you celebrate!

Lisa Marie’s Week In Review: 2/5/24 — 2/11/24


I was very good this week.  As much as I didn’t want to and as annoying as I sometimes found it all to be, I followed doctor’s orders and I spent most of the week resting and letting my sprained ankle heal.  The couch has become my new home and, fortunately, I’ve always been very adept at hopping.

You would think that this would have led to me watching a lot of television and a lot of movies but I actually spent most of this week listening to music, writing, and sleeping.  This week has made me appreciate sleep.

Anyway, here’s what little I did watch, read, and listen to this week!
