Might want to spoiler parts of your post.

But as to your post: Selma isn't on my top 10 either, but that doesn't mean I don't see the effects that white supremacy has and continues to have on our country.

In light of the Oscar talk about the movie, I tried to give them a little preview by explaining that it's the short story they're adapting in the movie Birdman.

The mention of Birdman pretty much drew blank stares from my class with a few "Oh yeah. That's that one they kept talking about last night." No one had seen it.
**** you for making me have any semblance of respect for young people...

You have got to be kidding me. I mean, to actually debate the issue would be appropriate for the DC subforum, not here. I'm just flabbergasted at your implication of celebrity success being a signpost of progress & equality.

Again, not the right place to debate the issue. I posted what I posted not to talk about that issue but instead to make a rhetorical point to sd4chiefs that me not loving a movie doesn't necessarily indicate anything about my politics. My point was that I could agree with the movie Selma politically while also finding problems with the film, therefore I could also not be a Communist or a troops-hater while simultaneously disliking American Sniper.

Please, you took two stories of the human spirit, and put them in the political spectrum. You kicked that door WIDE open.

keep pimpin others for your fake nobility.

meanwhile, Dre is worth 800 million, and selling beats for 3 billion. THE HORRORS OF INEQUALITY!

The win was so phenomenal that inequality ended that very day.

Spectacular movie. Cannot believe how outstanding it was, best movie of the past 5 years for sure. The only comparable one over that period would be Flight, and even that falls short.

I'll see it, Keaton is a great actor.

lol

In five years no one will care about Birdman.

There will be no re-releases, no re-screenings and no one will try to emulate it.

It will fade into obscurity.

It will be known as "that movie where Keaton shoots his nose off."

Does anyone remember or care about "The Artist" ?


And that was just a few years ago

I'd meant to watch that. Did anyone catch it? Worth hunting down?

What? Huh?

I can't talk, I'm using old DVDs of Shakespeare in Love as coasters.
