Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | #OscarsSoLame: Hollywood Appeals to Middle-American Normies with a Land Acknowledgment
Oscar committee members 'feel this is the end' of the award show as smaller movies were nominated over hit box office films for best picture because of DEI requirements, according to an expert. The 97th Academy Awards ceremony will be held on Sunday at Hollywood's Dolby Theater, but many viewers and even voters, who determine the nominations, are not too excited. Emilia Perez, The Brutalist and Anora - are all up for the best picture, alongside Wicked, The Complete Unknown and Dune: Part Two, among others. But, according to podcaster and author Raymond Arroyo, many in Hollywood are not too happy with the choices - including the 9,945 eligible voting members. Arroyo also noted 'boxes' that have to be checked in order for films to be nominated for an Oscar. 'One of these Oscar winners pointed out to me, he said, "You know, my film probably wouldn't qualify for an Oscar now because there's so many boxes you have to check," many of them DEI-related,' Arroyo told Fox News Digital. He also said that The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences 'representation and inclusion standards', first introduced at last year's ceremony, have had an impact as well. The academy now requires that for films to be considered for best picture, they have to meet two out of four possible categories, which focus on underrepresented groups, including racial and ethnic groups, women, people with disabilities and the LGBTQ+ community.The entire entertainment industry, from comic books to books to TV to movies, is losing audience every single year, and their response continues to be: F*** those peasants, we're making "art" to tell those Deplorables we don't want their business. And the "deplorables" continue abandoning them. There is a crash coming. Industries die the way people go bankrupt: Slowly at first, and then all at once. Meanwhile, the sanctimonious ladies of Hollywood showed up with their cans, butts, and hoo-hahs hanging out of their clothing: Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1
If they care so much about stealing land from the "native americans" they can just give it back.

The trend to me seems to be more and more small, low budget independent stuff, away from big companies making lousy preachy entertainment. Even if Hollywood learned its lesson and changed course now, it wouldn't show until 2-3 years from now. Gaming, even more.

Yeah, empathy is generally not a positive emotion. Sympathy is good: "I feel bad for you." Empathy is "I feel bad like you," and is generally not good. Its not even caring, its selfish and self-directed, and we're suffering a massive excess of empathy in culture right now. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at March 03, 2025 05:18 PM (2VST1) 42

Someone should make a YouTube video of the timeline of known Injun tribal slaughter in North America over the past 20K years. Sort of like those videos of human movement from Africa to the rest of the world that you can find.

"I love movies because they make me feel. I was surprised when, at the end of The Brutalist, I felt nothing. In interviews, Corbet says he is more interested in important themes than human stories. He doesn’t start with character. He starts with an idea and creates a character he can manipulate to convey his idea. “I never bothered trying to find the heart and soul of a character in a film. That feels mushy to me.” Corbet’s refusal to acknowledge the full humanity of immigrants is evident in the clumsy, glitchy, implausibilities in his work. That’s why his characters felt hollow, implausible, and poorly motivated to me. They aren’t flesh and blood; they are marionettes manipulated by Corbet to make Corbet’s points. Toth is passive not because a driven, brilliant architect convinced of his own genius would be passive; not because a Buchenwald survivor gritty enough to travel to America alone would be passive. Toth is passive because Corbet needs him to be passive to render Toth’s opponent, racist, evil America, more villainous. "

Some of the oldest are transferred from ancient wire recordings and sound like hell
——- No, wire recording was a much superior (for the time) method hocked from the deutschlanders after the war. It had a downside, if the wire became snaggled you had this humongous ball of wire mess. Bing Crosby was a proponent of improved tech for RCA. The post-war recordings took a big jump in fidelity and bandwidth because of the technology transfer. No royalties or patent infringement claims, these were considered “intellectual reparations” or something like that. Most or many of the OTR survive because of transcription disks used to play for overseas troops. One of the more popular shows - “Mr Keen” tracer of lost persons, was on for almost 20 years but only about 50 episodes survive. Gunsmoke was well done, but a little over the top.

BREAKING
@seattlegazette -14 min 9th District U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeals issues temporary restraining order on Trump diplomacy efforts with Russia. The ruling orders White House officials to immediately resume hating President Vladimir Putin and orders State Department to use terms "dictator" to refer to Russian leader and "unprovoked, full-scale, war of aggression" when discussing military conflict. The ruling requires immediate reinstatement of military funding to an Ukraine and bans Ace of Spades commenters from saying "I'm not a fan of Putin, but Zelenskyy is a thug, too". The ruling says AoS commenters must refer to Zelenskyy as a "modern-day Churchill" and allow the Ukrainian leader to bang his penis on their noses as if they were piano keyboards.

Neighbouring Arabs, Iranians uttered's' as 'h' and called this land Hindu. Greeks pronounced this name as Indus. Sindhu is the name of the Indus River, mentioned in the Rig-Veda, one of the oldest extant Indo-European texts, composed in the northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent roughly between 1700-1100 BC. There are strong linguistic and cultural similarities with the Iranian Avesta, often associated with the early culture of 2200-1600 BC. The English term is from Greek Ἰνδία (Indía), via Latin India.

Sometime in the 1820s or so, a couple braves from some tribe observed a Butterfly collector prancing around the prairie somewhere with a net. “WTF is this guy!?” They quickly captured him. A pow wow was held, and the consensus was to kill this guy right now on general principles. Word got out to Gen.

I always interpreted it as around 17-20 or so, seeing as she seemed to be quite a bit more mature when we meet her in the movie.

When their chance to celebrate tranies went down the crapper, they took the next obvious leftist route, promoting young women to become whores.
Is like to meet the guy who convinced feminist that the most "girl power" thing to do was sell yourself to disgusting saudi businessmen and vacationing drunks. Like their attempt to have every white male murdered in war, their hope is to turn every young white female into a broken hooker, as that exactly who this movie is meant to appeal to. But that's not at all shocking to the people who partied with Harvey Wienstein for decades. Posted by: Rbastid at March 03, 2025 06:13 PM (XnJ7B) 304

Memphis Grizzlies --
After moving to Memphis, the team explored the possibility of changing “Grizzlies” to another name that better reflected the Memphis area. However, the community strongly supported the existing name.[10] This is, primarily, because of the city's proud history with a previous team, also named Memphis Grizzlies. The original Memphis Grizzlies franchise played in the World Football League from 1974 to 1975. A proud 1 year history in a different sport? Posted by: Oldcat at March 03, 2025 06:13 PM (n7h9X) 306

Last year was a pretty awful year for movies, and this one looks even worse. The word for Hollywood last year was "survive til '25" but this year is not showing any relief for Hollywood.
My older brother works at a theater pub, and I get a running total on how movies are doing and the way these businesses are trying to survive (lots of other stuff like business meetings, live comedy, etc). You can rent a theater and run any movie you have a disc for as well. An old theater was showing Captain African American and the ceiling collapsed in the showing. Nobody was hurt, largely because only 2 people were watching... Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at March 03, 2025 06:25 PM (2VST1) 342
