Ricky Gervais Savagely Spoofs Spoiled Brat Feminist Natalie Portman
At the Oscars, Natalie Portman staged a "silent protest" by wearing a bespoke Christian Dior cape emblazoned with the names of Unfairly Overlooked! female directors.
Portman, 38, attended the awards show wearing a black and gold Dior dress with a cape embroidered with the names of the female directors who were snubbed by the Academy: Lorene Scafaria (“Hustlers”), Lulu Wang (“The Farewell”), Greta Gerwig (“Little Women”), Mati Diop (“Atlantics”), Marianne Heller (“A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood”), Melina Matsoukas (“Queen & Slim”), Alma Har’el (“Honey Boy”) and Céline Sciamma (“Portrait of a Lady on Fire”).Fellow spoiled-brat out-of-touch nutter Rose McGowan attacked Portman for... not "walking the walk" regarding female directors?
"I find Portman’s type of activism deeply offensive to those of us who actually do the work. I'm not writing this out of bitterness...And this is not just about the money.
... I am writing out of disgust. I just want her and other actresses to walk the walk," McGowan said. "Natalie, you have worked with two female directors in your very long career- one of them was you. You have a production company that has hired exactly one female director- you."
But that's just normal Hollywood battiness and cattiness. The real attack came from Ricky Gervais.
— Ricky Gervais (@rickygervais) February 12, 2020
@rickygervais I have nothing against the most famous people in the world using their privileged, global platform to tell the world what they believe. I even agree with most of it. I just tried to warn them that when they lecture everyday, hard working people, it has the opposite effect. Peace. 129K

I was never big into Von Trier, but open to him. Elephant was good. All of his stuff was rather typical European art house stuff.
And then I watched Anti-Christ and swore to never watch another von Trier again.
I've since walked it back a bit and put Melancholia back in my Netflix DVD queue. I'll see it eventually.
But Anti-Christ...after the 30 minute mark, I said to myself, "There's no way I won't at least like this movie." I was very, very wrong. I despised it by the end. Despised. I don't feel that often with a movie.

Conclusion: At this point I basically refuse to watch films with female directors, as there is a 90% chance they will totally suck. And that's coming from someone whose status as a woman is as yet undetermined.

"Sustainable" diamonds, with material excavated from the pits returned to the pits (if you're lucky)? Is that what that means? 'Cause if you're wearing the sparkly baubles, dunderhead, there's no "sustainable" about it

They are so sure that they're better than us, while knowing that their fellow travelers are thoroughly depraved, that they must spin a fantasy to avoid cognitive dissonance. If the good guys are that bad, then the bad guys have to be worse.
They can't face up to the fact that they've signed up with demons that want to eat them (some probably literally, it's only a matter of time before cannibalism jumps onto the LGBT bandwagon.)

1) Palpable concern among some Hse Dems from battleground states or representing swing districts about the impact of a potential nomination Sanders nomination “It’s bad,” said one freshman Dem from a swing district. “We are having conversations about how to deal with this.”
2) Freshman Hse Dem to Fox: "If (Sanders) is the nominee, we lose." Mbr said a Sanders nomination would cost Dems their state in the fall. Some voters would leave the top of the ticket blank
3) Two other vulnerable Democrats indicated that a Sanders nomination would almost certainly cede their states to President Trump, to say nothing of the impact on races down the ballot for the House and Senate.
4) To counter a possible Sanders nomination, One Democrat said they would try to hyper-focus on local issues as a counterbalance. But the lawmaker conceded that would be hard
5) What is unclear is how Dems are starting to grapple with the Sanders nominee potential. When asked if Dems would actively try to block Sanders or would try to “spin” things in such a way to remain viable, lawmakers offered no specifics. “We’re just starting,” said one Democrat
6) A Hse Dem from a swing state who does not represent a competitive district argued that it didn’t matter who the Democratic nominee was. This lawmaker said there was such concern about Trump that voters would be willing to support “anyone else” besides Trump – even Sanders.
7) Even as the Sanders alarm bells sounding among some Democrats, other Democratic sources note that the party has only allocated a tiny percentage of delegates. “It’s still so early,” said one source. “We just have to win,” said the source.
Multiple Democrats who could face competitive races this fall declined to speak on the record about Sanders, the impacts of impeachment and what it means for their candidacies. Some Dems were clearly uncomfortable being asked about this by the press today.

EXACTLY!
Movies written and directed by women almost invariable have this deadening inertia, where NOTHING HAPPENS plotwise. I often compare it to watching a little girl rearranging Barbies in her dollhouse. There is never any forward-motion to the plot, nor any "necessity" to what happens. It's just people either sitting still and talking, or purposely bipping and bopping from one place to another without the story being advanced. It's almost like they don't even know what a plot is. It's like a cargo-cult version of movemaking -- they imitate the form successfully, but with the slightest inking of the underlying structure that makes a movie work -- like cargo cultists building an accurate reproduction of a jet airplane...out of bamboo. Then they wonder why it won't fly.

Directing a film is hard, especially today.
Anything blockbuster realm takes a bare minimum of two years to go from nothing to finished product, and directors work sixteen hour days seven days a week from the beginning to the end. They're directing the course of production from script to pre-production to production and to everything in post. The final few weeks of post-production often require directors to work 20+ hour days.
Women who wish to have families rarely want to go through that.

Bernie's got the socialist true believers smelling blood in the water as this is their chance to take the reins. This is helped because the identity politics bandwagon has split between Buttjug and Warren, and neither of them appeal to african american voters. The establishment controls the party for the most part, so this division seems like Bloomberg is well positioned to come in and take the nomination. It's not clear yet if he's going to have to actually steal it from Bernie, but I'm looking forward to the fireworks if he does.

I Agree. I've seen many episodes she directed on Have Gun -- will Travel, and they were very good. Of course the Western was not a genre that lent itself to "women's issues," but then HGWT was not your run-of-the-mill Western.

Call the local mosque and ask protocol. If I am going to a different church for anything I always call ahead and ask and they are usually happy to answer any questions. A short note to the parents expressing condolences and what a fine young man he was in your class might also be appropriate.

Bloomberg's political registration since about 2000.
D 2000 before running for Mayor
R 2001-07
I 2007-2018
D 2018 - Present
So, D for 42 years, Indy for 11 years, R for 6 years.
He's nothing more than a political opportunist that changes for whatever way he thinks will get him in office.

So here's a thing. I was listening to a podcast where a Dominican priest was talking about St. Thomas Aquinas and his contribution to metaphysics (yes I'm a nerd), and he made the point that in greek philosophy up through Aristotle, humility and charity were not considered virtues. The ancients understood bravery, courage, temperence, honesty, but it took Christianity to really recognize that humility was a virtue towards one should strive. Without God, if you are a virtuous person, you shouldn't be humble, because you actually just are better than most people.
I suspect that because God has been removed from our culture today, humility is falling back by the wayside as a recognized virtue.

In 1999 Ford had an accident in a Bell Helicopter where he allowed the chopper to drop too low and it was unable to power back up and they crashed.
In 2017 was the incident at John Wayne Airport whereby he mistook instructions of where he was to land and almost collided with a passenger jet waiting to take off with 111 people on board.
