* A Cannes-and Oscar-winning movie for best picture and best actress. Plus, free, reward-program tickets. What could go wrong? Everything, if that move is the annoying “Anora.”
Even if you were a long-time patron of the Tanga Lounge, dated your share of “escorts,” and preferred excessive violence, loud noise and dialogue steeped in F-and MF-bombs, you wouldn’t necessarily like it. It’s not a modern “Cinderella” story, but a sick sin-derella exploitation and embarrassment to the Academy Awards.
We had heard the ending was kind of redemptive. We don’t know; we left before that.
If you’re thinking about checking out this Oscar mired in cheap sex and loud lewdness, think about re-watching “The Great Gatsby” or “Pretty Woman.” They incorporated sex, romance and partying in a way that didn’t insult or embarrass anyone. They didn’t even need “intimacy coordinators.”
* Mike Myers is back on SNL. He does a spot-on of Elon Musk.
