#OscarsSoWoke
Before that: Actor Jerry O'Connell said his wife and daughters became physically violent when he said that the Democrats should have had a primary rather than coronate sure-loser Kamala Harris.
He wasn't even saying he supported Trump. He was a bitter Democrat angry that the party had shot itself in the foot. And for this, his wife and daughters began cursing him and became physical.The Vigilant Fox 🦊
@VigilantFox Jerry O'Connell reveals his liberal daughters were "filled with RAGE" and "became PHYSICAL" with him when he criticized Kamala Harris as a candidate. O'CONNELL: "If I say this, will I stay married? Blow it over here." MAHER: "Sounds like you're going to blow it over here." O'CONNELL: "The night of the [2024] election... I was watching late at night, the returns, and I'll be honest with you, I didn't think Trump was going to win. I live in California. I didn't think he was going to win from what I was hearing." "I said something along the lines of, like, 'There was no planning.' 'This is what they get.' 'There should have been a primary.'" "I said something along those lines. I was just spitballing ideas as to--it was a shock, you know?" "My wife and daughters, without saying anything, became physical with me. They were filled with rage." "So if I am being careful with you in how I say things... I live with not one, not two, but three people who, if I made any kind of joke, they'd become very angry with me, you know?" Once O'Connell said this, Maher saw a man who had completely lost control of his household. He bluntly told him that living in fear of your own family's reactions is no way to live: "I don't want to tell you how to live your life, but I couldn't live that way... I say what I truly think. And if it makes you angry, I'm sorry, we'll have to work that out." "I am not going to tuck my tail between my legs and just shut the f*ck up."

So much woke. Jane Fonda talking to the ultragay "reporter" who asks nothing but political questions and about how gay movies are. It's worth remembering that the Oscars are literally the DEI Oscars, as any film nominated for an award must satisfy a laundry list of DEI requirements.

There is some discussion about what, exactly he meant there. I mean, the audience almost certainly took that to mean "Trump" but you can throw a rock over your shoulder and hit a pedo in the Oscars crowd so... hard to say what Conan actually had in mind.

But really, all we hear about these days is how Hollywood is dying, the industry is violently contracting, everyone is out of work, AI is the future and most of the present, while post-production and filming BOTH are leaving California -- and no one even knows the Oscars happened until their feeds are full of women in weird gowns on Monday morning.
It's a goldmine for comedy, and all Conan could do was reach for old, stale material. Robert DeNiro already yelled FVCK TRUMP two administrations and eight Oscars ago.

What is so insane is that this is obviously a very mild comment. He's not even saying that Kamala is an idiot and shouldn't hold any office, which would be a true statement.
Also, what a friggen bubble this idiot lives in. Because his libtard friends in CA thought Kamala was a shoo-in, he thought that was reality?

That's not a distinction I made.
I don't know what other people treasure, what the masses are looking up again after years of being released.
I just know that the Academy has never been about that. Ever. From the beginning, it was about controlling the direction of the industry.
And it made sense when that direction was actually aligned with making money. Now...control of the Oscars is control of...the Oscars. The studios spend much more money on slop for the masses that they don't think will ever win awards. Because the industry has essentially bifurcated in that regard.

Same with podcasters who think they know everything in the Situation Room! Tucker, Carlson, Kelly, and that hideous Fuentes fag.
The woman I argued with on another blog two days ago must be in quite the snit as she's vanished and raking her dirt and leaves and saving bugs. And I was nice as I can debate nice and Southern. It was not like I called her names or got mean.
I reckon she felt she could go against the wind and state her nonsense of the two fuel planes sadly crashing in mid air. Her "sources" said Cent Com is lying and a missile shot the plane down. I said otherwise and that no one knows, but I doubted the Sec of War and our President would lie to us.
She fired back that I was gaslighting (which I will never understand) and needed a mental health check. Lol. Maybe I do, but I'm basically harmless.

Moonlight is the black gay movie in Miami.
Made little money. One of the peaks of Hollywood giving a bauble to the black part of the industry to try and get them to be quiet now.
It keeps not working, though, for some reason. Instead, they had to invite thousands more people into the Academy.

I have. More than twice actually. Haven't watched it in years, but I have watched it multiple of times. It is a dreary movie but well acted (except for Streep, who is remarkably overrated). I liked it. Was it Oscar worthy? I don't know. I was probably watching Star Wars for the 8th time and Star Trek (movie came out in '79) at that stage in my life.

She was quite hot with a rocking body a few years ago. But the last few years haven't been kind. She looks more masculine now, almost a tranny, and is so painfully thin she looks anorexic.
I don't remember the last movie I saw her in, but I was like "wtf happened to her?"
Unless she plans to work out and bulk up for the role, there's no way she'll have the imposing physicality to play Athena.

Sinners is massively derivative. It'll be as effervescent as Black Panther.
It's more a problem with our fractured, balkanized culture that individual movies don't have that cultural cache anymore.
You need to be in the zeitgeist for longer. A few weeks is an instant, half a news cycle, forgotten by a flush of new memes and things that we must all pay attention to.
Television series are probably the only thing that can have that cache anymore because they last for so long and come back year after year.

He bluntly told him that living in fear of your own family's reactions is no way to live:

Yeah well by the time Sinners IV: Gaslight Boogaloo comes out I think people will be over that entire thing. But none of the movies are going to last, even F1 which by all accounts is fun and entertaining is popcorn fare, its not like someone put out Godfather last year.

Nobody wants to see most of what they produce. Audiences have been shrinking for years because their product sucks.

It is better to lead by example and you can bring stable logic and sense into the relationship rather than trying to reason someone out of a position that they never used reason to get there.
The predominant leftist (and Muzzie) emotion is ANGER, and that makes anyone challenging that anger doomed to failure at that moment.
You have to wear it away by erosion over time--that requires holding frame and not descending into nor feeding their anger.
The rise and fall of the trans movement is an example of emotion driven policy championed by AWFULs that is now becoming a sad clown show spiraling toward oblivion.

I always thought a prime Natasha Henstridge would be perfect as Helen. She was practically supernatural in both face and figure, not a bad actress, and had some physicality. Sadly, it didn't last forever. She's still making C-rated movies, almost unrecognizable.

I think it'll disappear too.
It's not a very good horror movie. I doubt it will have a lasting following among its most natural audience (horror fans).
And it's pretty ugly in its depiction of black culture. If you were a closeted racist who wanted to portray blacks as feral, I don't know what you'd do differently than Sinners. It's thoroughly unpleasant in this respect.

I thought GoM was underrated and quite good. But she was badly miscast. It was jarring to have a movie set in a dirty, gritty, dangerous dystopia, and the lead actress looked like statuesque airbrushed perfection like she was going to an Oscar party. They barely even put any dust on her.

Not exactly. The Vampires talk about piece and love and that crap and don't care at all about skin color. They made the lead Vampire Irish I assume to make it clear he isn't supposed to be a Klan stand in.
Note they do also have conflict with the Klan separately.
There is a also the point in it where the first of the group of main characters to get converted is also the one who is white, but I'm not sure if that is supposed to be a political message or not.

Propagandists focus on fanning anger as to get their supporters to focus their anger on specific targets. Then what is true or not, or even logical, is thrown aside by these heuristic short cuts--Orange Man is bad therefore all bad things can be attributed to him. Same tactic by the Woke Right, Muzzies, and leftists, except the target is Jews and Israel. Leftists aim at straight white males too. And so on.

I thought it was an good interesting take on Odysseus, suffering from PTSD and Survivors guilt of having lost all of his Crew and Soldiers. I know some feel he was too old but I think he was supposed to look and feel old, a man Tired, tired of war, tired of Travel and tired of adventure and just wanting to go home.

As Good as It Gets
The Full Monty
Good Will Hunting
LA Confidential
I mean LA Confidential is the clear winner here, although I could live with As Good As It Gets. Good Will Hunting is pretentious crap. Full Monty shouldn't even have been given consideration. I haven't seen Titanic but given its story and approach I wouldn't like it. Cameron is a hell of a moviemaker but this is just a bad story.

But even of the films they do produce, they no longer try to strike a balance.
Posted by: Thomas Bender at March 16, 2026 04:16 PM (XV/Pl)
=======
The 90s were Hollywood becoming "fake indie" before they let the indies completely take over.
If they had installed people dedicated to its destruction, the Academy couldn't have done it any better.
They rejected popularity except in certain specific cases starting in the 80s. The case study I use is Ghostbusters. Every loved it. Made a shit ton of money. Perfect for the Oscars.
But...it was the wrong kind of movie.
The book end was The Dark Knight 23 years later. Again, the wrong kind of movie was liked and had made money. The Academy couldn't allow that.

Yep. Once you dehumanize someone as evil, then you can attack any attribute that 'evil' person has and get others to join in. Root of tribalism and social herd psychology to punish the heretic, outsider, etc. And sometimes that provokes a bad response by the object of hatred depending on their internal frame. Tell someone they are evil all the time and the worst person in the world, some come to believe it.

Yes, but most democrat men are wimps who are cowed by their womenfolk. I could give you real life examples of this. Frankly I'm surprised that they were able to get it up enough to father children.

Regardless on individual taste, Titanic is one of the biggest box offices successes of all time, As Good As It Gets is probably one of Jacks Best Films, The Full Monty is fun, Good Will Hunting is a great writing debut for two guys how would go on to become huge movie stars with a remarkable understated acting turn for Robin Williams, probably his best acting role. LA Confidential is an old-time Hollywood movie.
Hollywood is simply not capable of producing years like 1998.

Well, yes. I don't know how to say this without sounding mean, but just look at photos or videos of when he was young. He looks like it would be very safe to bully him, while at the same time, he is a rude, sarcastic twerp by nature. No one should put up with DV, and it is all too easy to picture his wife getting physically violent with him, if he had one. He likely made the right choice to remain a bachelor.
