Oscars 2025 (Academy Awards)

[Anders]

I don’t seprarate people by races. I only believe in one human race.

Candy and t-shirts… sure.

One season/year in sports, between each Superbowl, or each Formula 1 season, or each Wrestlemania.

Count the years in school, or the year in a relationship, or the years a human has been alive.

Or movies.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Is Jorge still posing as Anders?

[Anders]

He is posting as Trag now.

[Buby]

Do you agree?

I'm watching movies from 2023 at the moment, and I can't wait to get to the big Oscar movies from last year.

Yes, but I’ve only seen three of this year’s nominees, and those three are arguably not up to snuff with several from last year.

But ultimately, this is stupid, cuz it’s just an arbitrary line in the sand which films fall into which year.

I actually think a year is just about the best way possible to separate between movies, or anything else in life. One more year around the sun.

I've also only seen 3 of this year's nominees.
Anora, which I didn't care for.
Dune II, just awesome.
The Substance, super late vs the hype train (just this week) and I loved it.

[E.H. Ruddock]

I can't believe Villenueve got snubbed for best director.

They'll give it to him for Part 3, just like they did for Jackson.

Well, If he makes messiah into a good of a movie as the first two, it will be well deserved. That book has always been thought of as too difficult to make into a movie

True. But I think DV has earned our optimism there. I think Messiah is the best of the series. So, I'm pretty pumped to see it.

I truly am rooting for Emilia Perez, even though it looks completely awful

Don't public figures typically have someone handling their social media? How does this still happen?

why?

[Jorge]

I truly am rooting for Emilia Perez, even though it looks completely awful

why?

Because out of all the Best Picture nominees, Emilia Perez winning would be the funniest outcome

And if it wasn't for lulz would we even be alive?

Some of the boomers maybe.

This post has been updated to remove a reference to Hitler that was unable to be independently verified.

This made me chuckle for some reason.

[dimejinky99]

She went from ‘sorry you felt offended by my tweets’ to deletiing all all her social media to protect her family from ‘mean tweets and misinformation’ in bullet quick time

Has anyone seen this piece of shit? The hate for it seems universal. I want to see it now.
