what is our society coming to?
If movies like this can be nominated for "best picture" Oscar, I have concerns this country will soon become unlivable.
Hahahahahahahahahaha!
That’s the only response idiotic people like you deserve. Losing hope in humanity over a movie you hated. *huge eye roll*
Pathetic.
Hyperbole, exaggeration and Trolling. Don't take that post as anything more than instigating.
The poster doesn't even understand the nominating process let alone anything about Society and or the Movie Industry.
Why would you think I am trolling, I am completely serious. The liberal agenda and the political correctness has reached unprecedented heights if such an unremarkable movie could be nominated for a best picture Oscar. It's a symptom of an extremely sick society.
It's an extension of affirmative action and it will die down soon when "minorities" get sick of being pandered to by rich white people. BP wasn't the worst movie ever nominated for an oscar, so I'm not too worried.
shareOne can only hope that integrity will prevail.
I'm starting to think it isn't going to die down, which is depressing as hell. Instead of being less relevant, race and gender now matter more than they have in decades - we are going backwards and these dipshits think it's a positive.
shareI am bothered by all the "more women" speeches too, and I am a woman and a feminist. There was so much of that crap at the Golden Globes.
All this would be solved by individuals having more self-confidence and working to get what they want on their own merits, rather than trying to get a free ride because of their gender, or skin color, etc.
shareJust yell MAGA and Build the Wall and go back to shopping for tiki torches, will you?
shareThis is sheer propaganda. Just say something preposterous with a straight face and watch the needle move. With all the Big Business tentacles in the pubelican party it's enough to create it's own agenda, so if the other side is battling that, yeah, I guess that's an agenda. Kinda like Spider-Man and Superman, fighting evil is the agenda.
And more PC crying? Talk about an imagined ill ! What is PC doing to impair your Quality of Life? Does Black Panther being on the Academy list impact your bottom line? Not me. Haven't seen the movie, don't care to, don't care about the 2019 Oscars. Hopefully something worthwhile is selected.
Why are you on this discussion board and in this specific topic, no less? It wouldn't even occur to me to spend my time on a forum for something I have no interest in.
When BP came out, it was quite the phenomenon. I've passed on this topic many times so I finally decided to see what was going on. I apologize for coming on strong while claiming to have no interest. But the Liberal Agenda and PC stuff makes me crazy.

It's a symptom of an extremely sick society.I did not accuse you of Trolling. I said you were instigating. But now that you doth protest too much:
1. You're trolling because movie watching is a selective entertainment option. No one forces you to watch anything.
2. The Nomination process is done by a body of people based on a campaign by the entity (Disney) that owns the product.
3. Nominations have no impact on the political process, laws, regulations, mores, doctrine, etc that governs life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
4. Freedom of expression gives you the ability to state words in any incoherent fashion as you choose to express a limited view of your understanding of topics such as these.
5. Public discourse and conversation allows you an avenue to learn more if you so choose.
Yes. You're trolling. You're not very good at trolling. You're neither serious nor entertaining because you lack both conviction and knowledge to anything that you're tolling about. Thus hyperbole and exaggeration and now Trolling.
Additionally you offer no solution to your dire protestations of life as you know it. Here is one solution that will help you and your view of the slippery slope in your allegedly Extremely Sick Society: Don't participate in your own sickness.

Wow, I didn't think anyone could be this exhausting and pedantic, yet here it is...
In the future just keep your useless analyses to yourself, no one could possibly be interested, and it's such a waste of time for you.
But seriously, this is quite amazing - you are like the least normal person on here, worse than the "racism!"-screaming imbeciles.

I offered suggestions and advice and as with all things you are free to ignore them or use them. You continue to try and instigate by throwing around terms that again you know nothing about.
"But seriously, this is quite amazing - you are like the least normal person on here, worse than the "racism!"-screaming imbeciles."
Still trying to instigate some non-righteous Faux indignation over "Racism" on this board or is it "Reverse Racism" that is bothering your fragile existence in this Extremely Sick Society?
Food for thought: Don't Participate in your own sickness. share
Not sure what effect you think your drivel is supposed to have, but it has none on me.
Carry on.
I didn't *hate* the movie, btw, I just thought it was nothing special.
I mean, if we are talking popular movies, Mission Impossible was much better, as were Ant-Man & the Wasp and Avengers: Infinity War. And Deadpool 2 and Ready Player One.
Agreed actually , ready player one and IW I prefer
share In case you didn't see my other reply, I'm copying it here.
I think his point isn't the significance of the award itself, but it shows the decline of common sense objectivity, and our current culture of pandering to identity politics. We are recognizing ideals as quality, but putting the actual artistic product secondary. This is a dangerous road for art. I don't want creativity to devolve into a competition for how many pats on the backs we can give ourselves.
It’s disgusting this movie is nominated for Best Picture. I’m not trying to be racist, but the only reason it’s nominated is because it’s African American. This movie is nothing, but a generic superhero movie. Avengers Infinity War was better and was that nominated for best picture.
