However, I draw the line on the claim that the performance was Oscar award-worthy. I’m not even going to appeal to the “DiCaprio screamed and crawled around for two hours” argument I’ve seen, as I think he did have an Oscar nomination-worthy performance. In my opinion, I thought Keaton’s performance of a man pulled in two different directions - his Catholic upbringing and the truth - was far more compelling than DiCaprio’s performance of a man struggling to survive and take revenge on those who wronged him.
But I also saw " Spotlight," and I was amazed that Michael Keaton was not nominated for his role of Walter Robinson, the head of the Spotlight investigative journalism team who broke the story on child molestation in the Catholic Church. The realism, the portrayal of loss and betrayal, the isolation: It was a poignant and beautiful movie. it's that the following Barbie games took up a decent chunk of my childhood and probably yours too. We had Barbie clothes, dolls, cars, houses and then finally we had computer and Play Station games. We were amazed by the technology and would play games every chance we'd get.įor girls, it always seemed like Barbie was trying to take over our lives. If you were anything like I was, you probably sprinted to the living room to play the Play Station. Sometimes mom and dad were occupying the home computer and it forced you to use a whole different form of technology. Sometimes it took an hour to install the games from their CD-ROMs but in the end, it led to hours and hours of fun.
So, instead of allowing us to intercept precious phone time, we played games right on our PCs. Needless to say, if your mother was a Chatty Cathy she probably wasn't so happy about that.
The worst part was that being online would tie up the phone line making it impossible to receive phone calls on the landline. Going online meant listening to that awful sound that came with any dial-up connection. Back in the late '90s and early 2000s, we weren't so reliant on the internet to keep us occupied.
