Movies

You know, if everyone around you agrees on one thing, and you are the person who doesn't see it, maybe it's not them, it's you.

Posted by: Andie (a.k.a AndieH) on Feb 27, 08:32 in response to RollingThunder's post Again, absolutely nothing against the movie, its cast, or...

saying a movie won 'because of backlash' means you think it didn't win on it's own merits. Ā  and youre reasoning is, in fact, racist.

i know you don't want to believe this about yourself, but, dude. that doesn't make it less true.

So how did you do on the Awardoptions? I literally got all but two of them right... diamondman56 Feb 27, 05:56

I also have to take a screen shot of this board... LOL! {nm} diamondman56 Feb 27, 05:57

Looks like I'll still come out in the black. Moonlight winning to appease the minority groups shouldn't surprise me. {nm} RollingThunder Feb 27, 06:12

This is a repulsive post. {nm} MiyazakiFan Feb 27, 07:33

That's NOT the reason it won (and I thought Oscars So White was BS last year) Moonlight was the best film this year - simple as that. {nm} MAlbi Feb 27, 07:36

why do always have to be so gross? you're a disgusting racist. {nm} CSBD Feb 27, 07:58

I'm not a racist at all, not sure why my comment is taken that way. I'm an avid Trump supporter, so have at that, if you're in a mood. {nm} RollingThunder Feb 27, 08:00

Your post was racist and absurdly dismissive, so that's why it was taken as racist. {nm} MiyazakiFan Feb 27, 08:06

You can disagree with my position, but insinuating that one is a racist is what's repulsive. RollingThunder Feb 27, 08:13

You are in fact, a racist, so there it is. {nm} CSBD Feb 27, 08:16

Being disconnected from a group does not make one a racist. Yeah, I'm surprised by foreign films a lot and that's a good thing. {nm} RollingThunder Feb 27, 08:17

It was racist and you don't even see it. SAD! {nm} DTshakes Feb 27, 08:18

Just because you liked Get Out doesn't mean you get a free pass when you say something racist. MiyazakiFan Feb 27, 08:26

I'd much prefer discussing the merits of Moonlight instead of sifting through piles of personal attacks. {nm} RollingThunder Feb 27, 09:10

you are a racist. you always post about how 'surprised' you are when a film starring a minority does well. You're not surprised you're just CSBD Feb 27, 08:11

That wasn't a very Christian response. {nm} RollingThunder Feb 27, 08:14

Your racism is not very Christian, either. {nm} CSBD Feb 27, 08:16

As I do with any emerging player on these boards, I will take your criticism under advisement. {nm} RollingThunder Feb 27, 08:18

"emerging player" LOL {nm} ty97 Feb 27, 08:24

Whatever - I'm going to hit H7 Billion in a month or so after taking 7 years off from playing. It wouldn't matter if I'd been playing CSBD Feb 27, 08:24

You're unperceptive and insensitive regardless of your political affiliation {nm} MAlbi Feb 27, 08:12

You don't have to call yourself a racist to be one. {nm} Spawn Feb 27, 08:22

*waves* I'm about the palest white guy you've ever seen and Moonlight was absolutely the best movie I saw last year ty97 Feb 27, 08:20

Again, absolutely nothing against the movie, its cast, or crew. Just a sentiment about the industry in general, that's all. {nm} RollingThunder Feb 27, 08:22

uh-huh, keep telling yourself (or whoever else) that lie. {nm} ty97 Feb 27, 08:25

You know, if everyone around you agrees on one thing, and you are the person who doesn't see it, maybe it's not them, it's you. Andie Feb 27, 08:32

third-best at most {nm} slipping jimmy Feb 27, 09:14

If you mean the segment of the audience that are still upset over Brokeback Mountain losing, perhaps your are right. leo21 Feb 27, 08:50

6 wrong. The prices were so low I wound up hedging with a second choice in most categories. shadowking Feb 27, 07:17

did great... sold nearly all the options with big profits some days ago... kept moonlight best picture :-) also held some shorts. {nm} JMT-NL Feb 27, 07:44

I had 28/28 and made $3.3M (after commish) {nm} tealfan Feb 27, 09:20

Wsnt this supposed to be about award options LOL? Sad it quickly turned into just another political argument... {nm} The Following Feb 27, 11:59
