Oscars 2016

[Seshmeister]

Wasn't one of the biggest movies of the summer a movie about a bunch of thugs who wrote stupid songs about bitches and whores and cop hatin? Odd, he must have forgotten about that.

You have a point, maybe it wasn't racism that stopped the Compton movie being nominated, maybe they didn't like it because it was sexist...

I make a couple million bucks a year and am ignored by the Oscars. I cry in a stack of money and then rip off a couple bills to pay for my high end hooker. And the massive amount of booze I'd be drinking. In a fabulously expensive hotel room. Did I mention there would be hookers?

Thats your life now , except for the drinking ya drink like a girl.

What is the Academy supposed to do, nominate shit "black" movies like Wayan brothers parody comedies? Or worse, Tyler Perry's Madea movies? I know, they make money, but artistically those movies are garbage.

And yesterday I read about people griping that DiCaprio didn't get nominated for Best Actor for Titanic. I've never seen it, can he really be that good in it?

[vandeleur]

Think its cos jada was upset Big willie didnt get nominated.

[vandeleur]

Dicaprio should have won it for wolf of wall street but am a bit biased cos its fucking great

[Seshmeister]

He should have got Best Supporting for Django.

yeah your probably right his donnie impression was impressive

He's in Django?? How did I not know that! I'm gonna watch it tonite.

I haven't watched it...but come on! It's a stupid premise for a movie! Lemme see, some doctor figures out that if you play professional football you might wind up with a concussion or brain damage? Really? No shit! And honestly WHO GIVES A FUCK?? That's why they get paid the big bucks. Sure, make the helmets all bad ass and super protective. Increase the effectiveness of the pads, I'm all for that. Then shut the fuck up about it. Those moherfuckers know what the risks are and they CHOOSE to play the game. I don't need no stupid movie to tell me about how gigantic men who bash their heads against each other might wind up with dain bramage.

[Seshmeister]

Also I hear Will Smith is pretty shit in it and his accent is all over the place.

I'm not a big fan, I find his schtick a bit tiresome.

As far as the helmets go I think the argument is that they should get rid of them and go back to the old style ones.

It's like boxing, before there were modern gloves no one got killed in the ring because you would break your hand hitting someone's face that hard so it was mainly body blows.

He did a decent job in it but too much of the acting was over the top.
