they are no longer the most "prestige" award show when majority of the movies they choose are generic and repetitive sentimental manipulative pieces compared to real art such as Bela Tarr.

That seems extreme and unnecessary.

I agree

The show must go on

A decent call to arms if you ask me.

When Hollywood was stating that Trump shouldn't be elected as President they should have reflected as to why they think they have the authority to state things as so.

I don't think cancelling the Oscars is the way to go but I do think making it loud and clear that their industry is complicit in a rape culture and is important to stop other communities from taking part in one is a message we should send out there.

I am not a feminist because I don't believe in any gender being given carte clanche, it's also the case that many male feminists are sexual predators - Which I am most certainly not one of.

Don't cancel the Oscars but have them stew in their own hubris.

So, have the dudes wear sackcloth and ashes? Maybe a scourging or two?

reply

Just not claiming to have the moral authority is all.

My way is less boring but I agree with you. Imagine if they spent 3-4 hours doing nothing but talking about film and giving out the awards. Maybe even skip the host's usual ongoing comedy routine. That sounds like something even I might watch.

'Stop jerking off and just talk about films and give out awards...' That would be a HUGE improvement...i hope they heard you man!

Hard to tell...no,i think there are more actors outhere that are innocent...i hope.

I don't care one way or another. My impression of Hollywood hasn't changed at all with the recent allegations. You'd have to have your head in the sand if you don't believe that Hollywood for the most part is a swirling toilet full of degenerate turds.

To listen to these depraved megalomaniacs pat each other on the back with this sham of a congratulatory program is bad enough, but to have them possess the hubris and dare to lecture me on my moral lifestyle and those I think might best represent me in government is more than I can stand. They want to live like animals and keep the slaves dancing on the entitlement plantation, fine. Just don't lecture me about it.

The program means nothing to me. It's their program, my taxes don't fund it, they can do what they want and it's fine with me - as long as I still have the choice not to watch it.

reply

I respect your post and you certainly dont have to watch
Im a bit of a fan though so im all in...i just wish one of my idols had the guts to take center stage and put everyone on notice...'no more'
But of course they only 'act' like tough guys...
Pathetic.

"A swirling toilet full of degenerate turds." Well said, sir! Well said!

That is a GREAT idea, and a GREAT article! I love the two terms they coined: "Pervnado" and "In Molestiam". It's time Hollyweird got it comeuppance!

After years of Hollyweird telling US that we're racist, homophobic, xenophobic, hypocritical and materialistic, it's time for them to admit how bad they are, and what a bunch of hypocritical scumbags they are!

if some of the nominated actresses boycott it could be canceled.

reply


That would be excellent!
