W Magazine decided to interview Oscar winners Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone together, and I am not sure it was such a great idea. When they are by themselves, they are really cute. When they are together, they are really annoying. So annoying, I have no idea what the two of them said after J-Law asked for her best friend to be referred to as her given name Emily. I just tuned them out because they sounded like a teacher from the Peanuts.
Seriously, didn’t you find them extremely annoying or is it just me?
Last month, I was stuck on a JetBlue (where they don’t kick you off if they overbook) flight and one of the movies (for free) they were showing was La La Land (the price was right). Although, I try to avoid Oscars movies, I still opted to watch the Oscars Best Picture. Oh wait. I like Musicals, so I said why not give it a try and find out what all the hoopla was about. It was a much ado about nothing.
Thus, when I saw that Screen Junkies took it on as one of their Honest Trailers, I had to see how honest they would be with it. They were very honest. The best critique is when they said, “Proves it is easier to teach a world class singer (John Legend) how to act, then two world class actors (Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone) how to sing.” Which perfectly sums up this film that starts off with a great opening number and goes down faster than the Titanic (which really won Best Picture at the Oscars) did.
What also makes this Honest Trailer so swell, is the little side trip they take to Moonlight 3/4 of the way through! It is a perfect tribute to Hollywood’s Biggest Night’s biggest gaffe in its history.

We know that Emma Stone, Natalie Portman and Ruth Negga are all good enough to earn Oscar nominations for their roles last year, but are they good enough to land the lead role in The Goonies? That is what W Magazine wanted to find out when they asked the three of them to read Chunk’s confession scene in the 1985 movie.
How did they do? Let’s just say it is a good thing they were nominated before the Academy saw this video. Could you imagine what their fellow nominee Meryl Streep would’ve done for the audition. Oh wait, she doesn’t have to audition for anything any more because she is Meryl “F*cking” Streep!
Back to the noms, while I don’t think they deserve the Truffle Shuffle, do you? Can’t remember the scene they read to judge, then click here!
Ever wonder what Emma Stone would look like if she was on top? Well here is a glimpse of what it might look like as she teaches Vanity Fair and us how to use a Pogo Stick. Only problem, she hasn’t been on one since she was 11 years old, so all she did was jump around in circles. Instead of moving in a straight line.
When she was done, she was out of breath just like something else that causes you to bounce up and down over and over and over again. Something else that makes you say, “La La Land!” Yeah, that sucked, but I tries!
Before Emma Stone was one of the Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, she was saved by a woman who speaks to ghosts on Medium. She looks the same now as she did when she was 18 in that 2006 episode.
