<blockquote>Just tell her how much you love the Irishman</blockquote>
Then she will call him ugly, poor and gay.
Is that true? because that would be a stroke of genius.
"<i>The guy lost so much weight—throw him a bone.</i>"
The "guy" is Joaquin Phoenix, one of the top 3-4 actors right now. His level, perhaps Oldman, De Niro, Mikkelsen (if we feel generous), not many. Seymour Hoffman was the top one, but sadly he's dead. Ledger could have been there, but he's dead too.
These guys are a joke.
Obviously, the dog is a dog supremacist 😂
It Started with Eve (1941). Laughton plays a man who fakes being very sick to get his son married as his last wish. Wonderful comedy.
They ruined His Dark Materials too. Next one, the Wheel of Time and the Lord of the Rings series. It's gonna be fun/sad to watch diversity woke Middle Earth. At least, we have the Peter Jackson trilogy.
<blockquote>So your theory is they are working under a system of quotas but all collectively decided to stop that this year, except for the one black person nominated, we’ll let that one slip in so nobody catches on to us</blockquote>
That'd be your theory, not mine. Don't put words in my mouth.
My point is far simpler than yours: since there was quite a few quota Oscars last year, this year people felt more relaxed and less pressed to nominate quota, that's why you had just a few quota nominations like black quota Cynthia.
Probably next year pressure will increase and probably there will be more black quota nominations.
Nope.
And before you say something like '<i>but heeey, you need to see iiiit, because it's suuuuper diveeersee</i>', I'm sorry, there's better movies to watch. Like the asylum ones, for example.
Right now, most of nominations for blacks and other privileged ethnic groups are quota-oriented. So, <b>by default</b>, they're quota nominations and/or Oscars.
Some cases, they'll deserve it. The problem with having so many quota Oscars lately is that the default status for a black nomination is <b>quota</b>. You want to argue she's something more than a quota nomination, the <i>burden of proof lies on you</i>.
I haven't seen or heard anything that suggests that there's something in this movie beyond the usual woke politics. To compare, check De Niro: no matter how controversial are his political views, most conversations are about who was the best in the Irishman, him, Pacino or Pesci. That shows a great performance. And by the way, he hasn't even been nominated.
Then don't worry. I was not insinuating it. I was saying it out loud. 😊
Actually, it's the abbreviation of kukuxumuxu. Not my problem woke see ku klux everywhere 😂
And it's not nasty. You ask for quota Oscars, don't say it's nasty to call them quota Oscars, because that's what they are.
Last year was filled with diversity <b>quota Oscars</b>, so there's not much pressure this year. You still have some quota nominations, like the black chick of Harriet, but other than that, the majority of nominations are merit-oriented.
Don't worry, though, pressure to be woke will increase. Next year, or in a couple of years, you'll have another ceremony filled with quota Oscars. 😊
He's not the only one.
Check the original German one. It's another gem.
You're counting special edition releases. In the original release, in 1977 and 1983, it was 374 vs 503, a 75%.
Lucas tried too, and that doesn't make the prequels any better.
The new trilogy is crap, both with JJ and with RJ. This is not about 'fanboys', it's about demanding a minimum level of quality and storytelling in a movie.
It seems that <b>you're the one who posted the thread "I thought it was amazing..my review" in Terminator Dark Fate</b>
According to you, "<i>I’m a huge fan of part 1 and 2 and thought this was a amazing entry into that trilogy. </i>"

I think I'll pass.
Not really. RotJ made about 75% of the original A New Hope box office, while RotS is gonna make about 50% of Force Awakens. To mirror it, RotS should make about half a billion <i>more</i>.
Then, in case you choose to study some career and years later you discover it was not your calling, what you have to do is blame the evil teachers, because 'they took your choice away from you'.
Sure

• "<i>Talk about low IQs. That "data" has been refuted.</i>"
Nope, it hasn't. There has been lot of excuses: "privilege!", "abstract and mathematical test are white oriented!" (no kidding), "education!". Every excuse is failing. Reality is obstinate.
If somebody has any doubt, just wonder how Asians get much higher academic scores than Blacks in western countries, same education system, and here you can't use the 'whites are privileged' excuse.
• "<i>The Pioneer Fund is a well established white nationalist organization</i>"
Translation: they're sinners according to the Woke Church, which labels as 'nazi' or 'white supremacist' anybody who dares to investigate that topic without following the orders of this new Church. History repeats.
• "<i> a number of prominent neo Nazis among its board members</i>"
Translation: scientists who dare to investigate this topic without following the orders of the Woke Church.
• "<i>they funded an organization which published and distributed a book called The Camp of the Saints. Pretty much at the top of any serious white supremacist's reading list.</i>"
It's just a novel that predictive the massive African immigration in Europe several decades ago. You know, making the correct prediction is nazi and supremacist! 😄
• "<i>The "races" are essentially a social creation based on those minor cosmetic differences. You won't see any sharp dividing lines in our DNA</i>"
You won't see any sharp dividing line between Europe and Asia. That doesn't mean that Europe and Asia doesn't exist.
• "<i>White supremacists do though, and the definition is pretty clear: if you believe caucasians are superior to other varieties of human, genetically, intellectually, or culturally, you qualify as one.</i>"
Whatever, but it was you who talked about 'superiority'. I was talking about something very specific: intelligence. And that's not a "belief". It's a fact. Different ethnic groups have different average IQ. And intelligence and culture are fundamental for the advance and wealth of any country.
