The line has to be drawn somewhere breh
Lets keep it 100....does "Get Out" deserve any Oscars?
- Thread starter Silver Surfer
- Start date
I forreals googled Mask of Zorro to see if maybe there was another MoZ that dropped in my lifetime and I missed out, but @SirBiatch you really talking bout that Antonio Banderas movie 
I'm not hating I love that flick, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone riding for it, not even when discussing Banderas/Hopkins flicks that came out after

I’m sorry but I’m still laughing about @Zero right now and trying to police the film room

It turns 20 this year breh. I look forward to the special blu ray and the essays
It's hard to tell the way y'all respond. It's old at this point.
Here's the cycle: I give my opinion on something, because it's a forum and that's the whole point. Someone like you will quote me out the blue, implying that I'm trolling. I ask for receipts. They usually go mute or get angrier, but in some cases they provide them. The receipts are usually not good enough. Then they get really angry and start rambling about The Booth/forum dumb shyt
When I was just minding my own business in the first place, and if you really thought my comments were consistently dumb/outlandish, why bother quoting? There are lots of shytposters who will never hear from me. If I know a poster says dumb shyt routinely, I just skip him/her. It's not that deep..This is what I'm talking about. You're pretending like this is some sorta game. You initiated the convo, I'm trying to get to the bottom of it, and it's "I guess I'll play SirBiatch's game for now." Like what?
Don't run down a list of topics, breh. What does it actually say about any of that? Its specific viewpoint, please
aka not saying shyt. Being too shook to have a viewpoint or not giving enough of a fukk about the topic to give one.
Clearly Batman overstoped his boundaries and it doesn’t paint him as this squeaky clean hero. It questions his methods but also says maybe those methods were necessary to get the job done. How dirty are we willing to get to defeat the bad guy? How many rules are we willing to break? Is torture ok? Is killing the line? Is surveillance acceptable? I was and still am enameled with all that shyt especially through the eyes of Bruce Wayne
Now if that didn’t work for you, that’s fine, but to act like the movie had nothing going for it or said nothing larger about the world in 2008 or that those themes aren’t still relevant in 2018? I gotta question that for real.
All of this is vague and quite cookie-cutter to be honest with you. You gotta hit me with specifics, breh.
Let me give you an example. People frequently refer to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind as being a brilliant film. Because it is. It's not 'forced' brilliant. It's not marketing brilliant. It's actually brilliant.
The movie sheds light on the nature of romantic loss, trauma in general and how our memories are tied to them. But at the end of the day, that entire movie makes one strong, powerful statement: It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. Relationships can be traumatic but we should learn from them so we don't repeat the same mistakes. And all things considered, be brave and don't be afraid to love someone.
This shyt is very clear. It's beautiful and it helps humanity. I'm not regurgitating some critic. All of this stuff is in the movie and it's done in a way that's entertaining and charming as fukk.
Now tell me about Dark Knight
Mortal1
Superstar
Of course, I think its a shoe-in for original screenplay tbh. The rest well... knowing how the Oscars are (
) I don't expect them to win the other categories.

Nah. I’m good.
How about this.... you get off my dikk. And you don't ever quote me unless you're ready to have a real film discussion. When you're ready, your new post will say something interesting/insightful about the topic at hand. Which lets me know you're serious, you're not a time-waster and I can respond. How's that?
Remember. Don't quote me unless you're ready
of course you are. You're shook/don't care enough about the topic you claim to be knowledgeable about.
And this is why I try to avoid trolls. I know this stuff is not that deep for y'all.
weird I can't neg op
Best Original Screenplay and Best Director

When have you ever e-known me to care about who rides for what? I'm not sheep. So many people are fukking sheep. And that's how they miss stuff that's obvious. Just like hip hop, there are a lot of shyt critics who dikkride consensus and have a hard time understanding stuff that's controversial and forward-thinking. Which is why you'l see critics dikkride Scorcese (as they should, he's brilliant) but totally miss Brian De Palma (who is influential as fukk, and low-key influenced The Matrix in terms of directing style). And if you're of a certain age, you know that most people can't handle the raw, brilliant shyt on its own. If the marketing packaging isn't there, people disregard it and then discover it later.
Of course you love that movie. It's a brilliant popcorn film. Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio are geniuses.
Yeah, you're done. :bpumad:

I am glad someone said it. Oscars are a white made up award so its whatever. But the inclusion of this, greta gerwig in the best director category and mudbound anything are clearly byproducts of Oscar so white controversy.
There is no one on earth that can convince me mary j deserves to be nominated for what she did in mudbound that is just ridiculous. With all these make up calls it does not make the show seem as prestigious as made out
Y'all gotta be a little more cognizant of when you're being trolled. The dude who made the thread posted a smilie then vanished for a few pages before coming back to pretend a movie with the premise of Get Out being Oscar worthy was absurd, even though a movie about a deaf women falling in love with a fish monster is leading all nominees. While he was gone, y'all argued for pages with a nikka whose sole argument was that Logan was better and instead of critiquing Get Out, critiqued why the movie earned the nominations it has. Somehow Mask of Zorro became a talking point in all this.
Y'all gotta do better
