Hoping Shies Makes a Political statement at The Superbowl Halftime


much like Eminen last year Emulating Colin Kaepernick

reply


The only statement she made was to demonstrate she is wholly untalented.

reply

Amen. It was terrible.

reply

How much can someone really do when they’re pregnant??

reply


My great-grandmother had 9 kids in the space of 15 years. She also took care of the farm doing chores 8-10 hours a day requiring far more exertion at 9 months compared to standing and "dancing" with a mic for 12 minutes.

reply

I think the only statement she made was: Hey, I'm pregnant.

reply

And lazy.

reply

So she is pro life?

reply


Not necessarily. Pro "choice" women consider it a baby in their womb when they want it, and a cluster of cells when they don't.

reply

i want a refund

reply

It looks like she used her moment to advertise the products from her Fenty beauty and clothing lines. That was pretty shrewd on her part but I personally don't like artists mixing their music with their other products. Music loses its artistic value if it is used to sell products.

reply

Tell me, exactly, what music and artistic value have to do with superbowl and Rihanna?

reply

Music and dance are forms of artistic expression. Some of Rihanna's songs have lyrical messages about love, loyalty and relationships. The meanings of the songs are corrupted if they become advertising jingles for her beauty and clothing line.
The article I posted shows that all her dancers wore her Fenty clothing and she pulled out a Fenty compact to apply makeup during her performance. Her brand also sent out messages on social media promoting her makeup and the clothing that her performers wore during the Super Bowl performance.

reply

Why does everything have to have a political or social statement?

Can't people just have fun?

reply

Art is political.

reply

Sometimes it is, but most often it isn't. The times when it is, it tends to be pretentious and silly.

reply

Why was diddling herself too? That was odd.

reply

She was 6 months preganant and perched on a platform 100 feet in the air. The performance was fine.

reply

Any conservative outrage? They're are always a good laugh.

reply


Yes, we are. Unfortunately, we are *nothing* to liberal outrage. I mean, you guys are truly masters of the art.

My mostly conservative Superbowl party guests gave the half-time show a sniff, then we lowered the sound to get desert and talk about the first half. No outrage but we will try harder next year.

reply

I saw on Twitter the color red scared Republicans shitless.

reply

I saw on Twitter that Democrats are brain dead, self-hating, suicidal morons. Who knew?

reply

that dude isn't even from the U.S. you moron *facepalm*

reply

And that's relevant how? Facts are facts.

reply

For real, you are silly.

It's like discussing American political parties with someone from East Asia ... It doesn't make sense.

Are you too triggered to think about it?

reply

You are too far gone to understand.

reply

He won't understand your bipartidal logic if he hasn't lived in the U.S.

What part of that don't you understand?

reply

Wow! Just wow! If I have to explain, you wouldn't understand. You are beyond idiotic. Go away, leftist.

reply

You are not saying anything 😅

And what makes you think I'm "a leftist"? You don't know anything about me. That's actually very funny if you think about it 😂

How old are you, btw?

reply

I've already said everything but you're too dim to grasp it, which is typical of leftists.

reply

You seem to be very passionate about this 😂

Answer the question. Are you an old man? Where you born before 1978?

reply

Passionate? No. Objective. Logic is my friend, unlike you, leftist.

reply

I didn't say anything about myself or my politics.

You are probably senile.
And also hilarious 😆

reply

Try harder. Your politics are self evident.

reply

"Self" evident my ass. I didn't say anything about myself or my politics and you know that.

BTW, I'm the guy who told you that other guy is not from the U.S.
You're probably confused or don't care to read people's usernames before you reply to them.

reply

Yes. Self evident. You're as transparent as glass.

reply

Haha, you have no idea how dull you sound. I bet you think you come across as grandiose or something haha but you really just sound like a very limited person who takes himself too seriously 😅

I bet you weren't good talking in public during highschool either and now you want people to listen to what you have to say😆😂🤣

reply

Wow! You couldn't be more off the mark if you tried.

reply

[deleted]

I ignored that bit of idiocy. There are experts in US politics, all over the world.

reply

Yeah and I'm sure an expert from overseas would debate you using MovieChat. That's actually hilarious 😂😂😂

reply

I'm not debating anything, simpleton.

reply

I’m speculating but, I think you’re having an exchange with a sock for the Argentinian. This DSX is way too new in post count to be so invested in trying to buttress the Argentinian’s credibility (whose politics by the way are apparent from his routine Democrat vs. Republican posting history)

reply

You may be onto something. He(?) is very committed to the exchange though. I wonder what he(?) is hoping to accomplish.

reply

DSX just has so few posts and yet seems to appear days after the Argentinian’s posts to bump and defend the Argentinian and support his takes. Here’s another example that I recalled

https://moviechat.org/nm0152638/Dave-Chappelle/628d0c8d89b1d36133795001/Chappelle-is-the-model-for-how-to-deal-with-the-woke-crowd?reply=6380eaf8ce4ec172af0384eb

I think people take on alternative identities to make it look like they have supporters or to resuscitate their own posts while making it appear like the bump is from a different poster.

reply

Yes, and no one could possibly guess he(?) is a leftist.

reply

New in post count? Check my first post you idiot. Also, some people don't comment as often as you do. I have a day job and own my house so I'm always busy. MC is just a hobby not a weird over the top obsession like the point you guys have reached with this.


Just look at this chilone guy, way over 15k posts? This guy really has a time management problem! It's actually kind of depressing if you think about it. Then you question if he's a normal functioning adult or maybe he's disabled in some way and spends all day at home but even disabled folk have strick routines to attend so idk, maybe he's a retiree with an insane misplaced obsession to correct others about politics in a movie forum.

You two seem alike, to be honest.

reply

It's hilarious how you are here saying this random number is irrelevant, when in another topic you were obsessing with it and using it as a measure of post quality.

Your backbone is non-existent.

reply

Haha, no. Don't play dumb, you're not a child. All I was saying was that it was proof that person knew how to use the English language.

Some weirdos were the ones that judged me for having "few" posts.
I truly think posting too often is preoccupying. As in what are you doing with your life? Don't you have other things to do?

Remember, I'm talking about a guy with +15k posts!

Either way, I don't think the guy they were attacking doesn't know how to use the English language and my point still stands. Deal with it

reply

I wasn’t criticizing the number of your posts but highlighting the ratio of your posts dedicated to defending and bumping things said by the Argentinian. I’m not invested in the Argentinian’s opinions like you are though so, I’m happy to let it go.

reply

Glad to see you give up, clown :)
