Oscars Thread
The only film I liked this year, The Migrations of the Quokka: Rivers of Blood, Tears of Fire, wasn't nominated, so as usual I could give AF about any of this shit.
However, some of you might give AF about this shit, so here's a thread. I'll put the giraffe on below in case you want to see something that's actually interesting.Comments

La La Land is good but not great, but will sweep
most of the awards. I like the director who also did Whiplash.
Only awards drama is Denzel v. Casey for Best Actor. I'm expect Denzel for PC reasons. There was a smear campaign against Casey for being a bad ex-boyfriend.
The Salesman will also win Foreign Picture for PC reasons, as its Iranian director won't be there in Trump protest. Who will accept in his place? This may be the only big opportunity to hit on Trump, besides a few perfunctory statements from a few winners.
Mel Gibson is the much funnier target,as he'll be there as a director nominee swimming in a sea of Jews and an ocean of Sugar Tits, many artificially sweetened.

Hey, anyone ever heard of *baking* eggs instead of boiling them? Like in the shell, baking them in an oven? I have an aunt who does it. She says they come out great, no green yolks and the shells slip off.

With a downer ending, because we haven't seen one of those in a while. That is my problem with the film- they wanted to hearken back to the old days of moviemaking without doing the full Monty: the characters go through all of these trials and tribulations, we come to care about them, and in the end, they live happily ever after.

Are the gowns really becoming lackluster or is it that, with dozens of award shows today, you just get tired of the display? I dunno.
Maybe when the big stars arrive it will get more glamorous.......or maybe not.
Maybe these ARE the "big" stars.

On my way to work at 0530 (FML) this morning there was a guy on the radio talking that Denzel seemed to be pulling a head as Denzel was seen as being able to give a better speech as the Oscars look for the best spectacle.
Which amazingly had me discover I had less of a damn to give about the Oscars that I didn't know existed.
Amazing how the most meaningless professions put on the biggest presentations to try to make people think they matter. See also: Nerd Prom.

winter, I could put eggs on top of it and by the time I finished the
morning toilet they would be perfectly air boiled.

.I know a one legged hillbilly in Kentucky who hard boils his eggs inside of his percolator coffee pot while he is making coffee in the morning.

Hmm... I'll do a "quick-pickle" of mandoline sliced onions or carrots as a garnish. Just mix half and half cider vinegar and white vinegar, a bit of water, a decent amount of salt and sugar, and microwave that mess til it's kinda hot but not boiling. Add in the veggies to the hot liquid, and in an hour or two they'll start to soften.
Don't know how to adapt that to eggs....

Don't know if that technique would work for an egg, cause they're so much bigger and denser...
Maybe make it something more like a dressing for a sort-a kind-a egg salad, with diced hard boiled egg and some jalapeno mixed up, then make up a vinaigrette kinda along the lines of that simple pickling liquid.
This is the first time i'm having this idea, so if you make something like that and it sucks, don't blame me.

Archer is worth watching. Clever writing, good voice acting. The "Archer Vice" season (4? 5?) ditches one of the best character interactions and it's like a forgettable speed bump of a season. I've heard it picks up again, but I haven't seen any of the recent stuff.

It makes me wonder- do herbivores like cattle or giraffes have sphincters to voluntarily control defecation? I don't see the evolutionary need for it. I would guess it just comes out whenever it does and they can't control it. Humans on the other hand, I can see why it evolved. If you're sleeping in the cave, to just go in there would be unsanitary. Even then, you'd want to go outside the cave.

"The Councilor"
Ridley Scott directed it and Cormac McCarthy wrote it, so you'd think "should be awesome".
But, nope.
Some great scenes. A blood curdling ending.
But, as a whole the movie is just blah.
Either the actors couldn't handle McCarthy's flowery dialogue and make it seem natural. Though Javier Bardem does pretty well with it.
Or the dialogue by McCarthy just blows with all of its flowery angst and Scott didn't cut the script where necessary. The blah blah blah seems to go on forever.
Interesting failure though.
Check it out. If interested.

I really liked that movie, but as I was watching it I thought: did Jeff Bridges have a stroke and it didn't make the news?
Anyone seen this new movie called "Get Out"? I had not heard of it, but then saw something about it being "a horror movie about racism" and all the movie critics loved it, so I assume it's sanctimonious dogshit. Am I wrong?

Really? I can't believe the critics like it, then. There is not a more self congratulatory crew of fart sniffers than film critics, and they all seem to group hate any movie that doesn't flatter their liberal sensibilities, like "13 Hours" for instance.
Too bad; I only see a handful of movies a year in the theater, and "John Wick 2" is taking priority.

The most transgressive thing the Oscars could ever do this year, is if they pull a Lady Gaga, shut up about politics and just present the awards.
But nooo, they're all too pompous, closed-minded and blinded by pure partisan hate to do that. I won't be surprised if they literally burn Trump in effigy.

Sales of "1984" have jumped because a lot of the loser progressives are convinced that the Trump administration will be just like Big Brother. Seriously.
So the ad showed Quinto recording about how people didn't know any better because all they've heard are lies or somesuch. I guess they're swapping out 1984 for their McCarthyism paranoia.

Saw a post by Neoneocon mentioning that the guy who directed it decided when he was five years old that he was going to direct movies. And unlike a lot of kids, who briefly get an idea and then move onto the next, he stuck with it.
His partner in crime, the composer that he worked with on both films, was apparently similarly inspired at a very young age, to the point where at six years old his parents had to institute limits on how much composing he could do so that he'd go to bed every night.

478 So the left doubles down with the nasty comments, right off the bat. No surprise, they can't help themselves. They shout who they are at every opportunity. There are words for people like that, but lets just say they aren't *good* people...especially when someone like Jimmy Kimmel starts off his show by calling president Trump a racist and talking about his bowel movements. Disgusting. Then Kimmel goes on to call for "unity" among people who don't agree with each other. He's not even in the realm of hypocrisy anymore. He's just a nasty idiot.

Agree, as a former restaurant worker/mostly bartender. Your waitress usually doesn't give the portion of the tip due to the bar bill to the bartender, tho a few places pool.
My beef is that I'm not gonna tip on the total after tax, just before tax. Why should I tip on the tax the govt is charging?
For good service I'll tip well. For bad service I prolly overtip and should stop that. And I really don't find bad service that often.

Yeah, that's actually the stuff I was wondering about.
I mean, if you assume that Obama and his ilk think that reduced sentences for non-violent drug offenders (or whatever) is good policy... then it seems weird that he'd do this sneakily on the way out the door.

Remember now what my BIL said about Bill Paxton. They were second cousins. BP stopped by in WY to visit his grt-aunt, BIL's grandma.
It was in the late 70s, only time he met him, but he said he was a nice guy. That was on BP's trip to Hollyweird IIRC.
Just realized that makes us 2 degrees from Kevin Bacon. We know BIL Dave, he met second cousin BP, who starred w/ KEVIN BACON!
Yeah, that ain't getting me a cuppa of coffee anywhere.

I mean, if you assume that Obama and his ilk think that reduced sentences for non-violent drug offenders (or whatever) is good policy... then it seems weird that he'd do this sneakily on the way out the door.
I guess they must also think it's a political loser, and are treating it like scraps of red meat for the base.

--LMAO, there was a Corner Gas movie? I did not watch the show regularly, but it was pretty funny.
All of the Trailer Park Boys movies are awesome. The first one, The Big Dirty, was the weakest but mainly because it confusingly went against canon, not for lack of laughs.

All is going well in the Vic household. I'm still giving his daily shots. He's now doing well enough that I have no qualms about leaving for 4 to 5 hours at a time.
I would appreciate if any of you can give some recommendations on nutritious, high calorie, low fat food. For now, because of the antibiotics he's taking, it has to be without milk or milk products.

He was totally awesome as the Republican network boss on "30 Rock." You'd think he'd be hateful and mean, based on his politics, but no, he was terrific. I regularly found myself cheering for him.
That really changed my opinion of him, because that level of professionalism -- that kind of absolute commitment to a character, especially in a comedy show -- is almost unheard of in the entertainment industry.

The Oscar category is best foreign language film. But Letters From Iwo Jima is almost entirely in Japanese and was nominated for best picture, not best foreign language film. So I don't know what the hell is going on.

I don't know what Vic likes but ...
something as simple as slicing up some steak or chicken and onions, bell peppers, then marinate them in some minced garlic and lemon juice for about an hour before you grill or broil them, can be very good and still healthy.
(doesn't have to be garlic or lemon juice, make a marinade with whatever spices he likes)

Mrs Vic, you may want to look at Paleo type recipes-they are high protein with healthy fat, and have no dairy-meats, vegetables, some fruits.
Bananas would be excellent for him also-and if you use almond milk, you could make banana and peanut butter smoothies-they might be easier for him to sip on slowly, so he can get continuous calories, without filling up. Coconut milk/ice cream are great substituted for dairy products as well.
I have a severe dairy allergy, and have had to be creative with substitutes. My personal favorite is biscuits and gravy, using turkey sausage and chicken broth for the gravy. It's not as rich/creamy, but it will do in a pinch. I make the biscuits with lard or margarine, as well.
Good luck. As he starts feeling better, let us know what foods he's hankering for, and we will come up with recipes for you. The Horde is blessed with some mighty fine cooks.

With a downer ending, because we haven't seen one of those in a while. That is my problem with the film- they wanted to hearken back to the old days of moviemaking without doing the full Monty: the characters go through all of these trials and tribulations, we come to care about them, and in the end, they live happily ever after.
Posted by: Aetius451AD at February 26, 2017 07:35 PM (fPE66)"
Well it's not like that's unheard of in classic Hollywood either. Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, Now Voyager. There were plenty of great classics in which the couple belonged together but circumstances prevented it.

Just a quick search indicates the theme is that if you grow up with a crack addict mother and your mentor is a drug dealer, it might make you turn gay. At least that was the case for the black lead character. So now Hollywood wants to convince the not very gay proud black community that it's cool to be gay? They gonna need to drop the whole black Muslim thing then. And drop the black Christian thing as well.
Everything is politics ... the ratings give an extra star for injecting race, and an extra star for LGBTQ. All they need is global warming and open borders sub-plots and it would get six stars out of five.
