Hollywood is so last year. Literally no one cares about the Oscars.

I have oh so not been glorifying Hollyweird or the institution for years now. I literally have not heard of any of these films.

Oh, well, one of them is indoctrination of trannie culture. So, it's just more woke propaganda.

Blah blah blah. Oh well.

That pope movie advert is very poorly timed indeed lol

Or perhaps the timing is perfect 👌

Guess that depends of whether you are the kind of person who wishes for another to die.

I have no control of whether the Pope lives or dies. However I reminisce on all those Parishioners children the Catholic Churches allowed to be sexually assaulted. They have known this is a problem. When the pedophile Catholic priest was discovered, they hid the fact and shuffled them to another community to reinfect again. It's one of the dirty secrets of the Catholic Church, or how I see it. Imagine if this was you or your family. How would you feel?

Kind of like teachers

Easiest route to Oscar nomination? Make a trans movie and throw in an anti-Catholic one.

It’s gonna trend so bad 🧐

I'm going to watch "Gone with the Wind" on Oscar Night; because frankly, my dear, I don't give a fuck.

A Complete Unknown is the best movie of the year, regardless what the outcome of the voting.

Deranged Communist teen sets about the destruction of all Western values. /s I'll pass, tah.

The Brutalist should win just like The Banshees of Inisheran should've beaten Everything Everywhere All At Once, but it won't because it's not a crowd-pleasing happy movie.

I wanted to like Conclave but I couldn't get past all the ideology/stereotypes.....The Irish drunk Cardinal, The racist Italian Cardinal, The African Cardinal who fathered a child and then the crescendo..... The Intersex new Pope ! Go figure. I was so dam annoyed at the end and everyone in the theatre around me knew it.

Thank Christ 😎 I turned it off after 15 minutes and didn't have to endure any of that shit.

LOL How did they know? What signals were you sending out?

I just flat out said something out loud right at the end when the audience discovers why the new pope went to the "clinic". I don't remember exactly but it was on the lines "of course they have to make this about gender issues...." . LOL. I think i threw a few people off guard.

Asking because I am pretty much unfiltered just like Larry David in CYE.

The only one of these films that I have seen is Conclave and I thought it was excellent. I hope it wins more awards, I’d like to see it wins best cinematography because there are some really great shots.

They don't make GREAT films anymore. They now make garbage and once in a while something that doesn't suck.

Tonite I'll be re-watching The French Connection - one of those Great films, and the, by a lightyear, greatest car chase ever filmed.

RIP Gene, Betsy, and their dog.

I suggest that everyone do as I do when deciding an important issue. As an ally of the LGBTQIAA++ Communty, I always stop myself to ask, "What would the LGBTQIAA++ Commuity want me to choose?"

So my answer here is the trans movie. It may be spiteful dreck intended as a spit in the faces of non-progressives, as many reviewers are saying, but who cares? We must vote for it to flaunt our moral superiority!

To be clear, I am referring to the one about the drug cartel leader not the pope.

The overwhelming predominance of beta males is appalling. But funny. At this point the Oscars only matter to those closely involved. I wonder if this is all on purpose, or inadvertent.

Expand full comment

Speaking of beta males:

Are you old enough to remember the Bee Gees? For a year or more, they were the biggest thing in music. They owned all the Top 40-type lists.

And then, just like that, they disappeared because the world had gotten sick of them.

I hope Timotheeeeee meets the same end. It's long overdue.

If I had a little sister, she would pin him to the floor and take his lunch money every day of the week.

PS The Bee Gees music has aged well and they are a pleasure to listen to. Just check out the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.

Hell, I am a petite woman and I could pin him to the floor in three seconds. But then I would steal his pretty scarves. The huge irony about Timotheeeee (what was his mother thinking?) is that Bob Dylan is NOT a beta male.

Best film of the year was "Seed of the Sacred Fig." I'm sure the mullahs would be unhappy to hear this. But there it is.

Totally unrelated, shameless plug for anyone out there who thinks the Awards are a joke but is interested in when comedy fandoms become rabid political mobs. If you qualify, here ya go -
