When Is Complete Incomplete?

Today, February 27, 2017, the day after the Academy Awards the USA Today's Section D was almost entirely devoted to The Academy Awards.

 

On the top of the page there was this…

89th ACADEMY AWARDS Relive The Big Night With Us”.

Allow me to drag this out a little further. The newspaper said this...

"Join us for complete coverage of the 89th Academy Awards, including the most memorable speeches, viral moments, best (and worst) fashions, backstage interviews and after-party access".

What's wrong with this picture about the pictures?

 

It is the use of the word “complete”. Complete means they got it all. They got the whole enchilada. They left nothing out...Or did they?

 

I don’t mean to be picky (or do I don’t) but this Crack News Reporting Organization left out the Big Mistake Where They Gave The Best Picture Award To The Wrong Picture!

 

Oh that little thing. That’s not much...Or is that not?

 

Would I kid u?

Oh . . . was it academy awards time again? You didn't tell which picture actually won but I’ll look it up in case someone asks. I did go to see Solitude last month—hailed as a potential winner for 2017. I tried to tell people about it but no one I know had a scintilla of interest to spare for Jesuits in Japan. I should have mentioned decapitation and multiple creative tortures and left out the part about Jesuits. Good thing no one was listening, though, since it folded after Day 2--I’d had the matinée all to myself. On Day 2 it opened at 9 PM.

The movie I saw last year was The Bourne (Something) with back and forth assassinations and the most creative car chase I've ever seen—not just some quickie for the previews—it must have been 20 minutes’ worth of Wow! I laughed but not until I cried. My friend was so enthusiastic about this movie and invited me, insistently, to come. And drive. In any case, I hope Jason won something since he’s probably the sweetest, humblest assassin ever and is so popular until there are several movies about him, aren't there?

And I missed seeing all the pretty dresses. Next year! (Unless our President has a Better Idea to surprise us with.)

Thanks, Fella. If I didn't have your Foolishness I’d have no news at all.
