Why did no one else exceptions to Darryl Hannah and Adrien Brody have anything to say? Only Peter Straughan wore the colors. What happened, Hollywood lose its spine?

bilecky.bsky.social•7 hours ago

I think the reason is… in the context of how can I get my next acting role, I must appear to be on “your side” so I can have a living.

Hollywood should see how much Russia and China control movie content. These actors may find themselves irrelevant and out of work permanently as the U.S. settles in alignment with Putin’s values.

Hopefully, after the requisite laugh, there were a few thoughts that went deep in a head or two.

dokterrudi.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Not this crowd, most of them are sharp as a canned ham.

Apoplectic Trump tweet incoming!

msmagicdishes.bsky.social•12 hours ago

Total garbage. The same boring heteronormative G A R B A G E always gets green lit by the fasc in Hollywood. I’m sick of it. Predictable story, predictable characters. How is this good film worthy of an award? This entire trope hasn’t been original since Shakespeare. Stop elevating derivative slop!!

moralcompbutt.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Aaaaand Conan is canceled by the counter cancel culture cult. Say that 5 times fast lol

betszee.bsky.social•5 hours ago

Kind of more than a simple laugh. More like “wow dude “ then laugh.

For the Cheeto it’s always been Russia, Russia, Russia.

dlcsea.bsky.social•10 hours ago

I was a bit surprised that on the whole the Oscars were pretty subdued politically speaking. I expected so much more after what just occurred this week and since inauguration. Was it out of fear or complying in advance?

@davidcorn.bsky.social is often incorrect in factual descriptions.

The Oscar audience cheered!

SAD.

WEAK.

allfolks.bsky.social•11 hours ago

I was watching the show via a screening in a theatre in San Francisco. The audience applauded. I love my city.

brentsilveria.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Conan was perfect

mumwust.bsky.social•6 hours ago

I thought at the time…what a weird reaction. Where was the thundering applause? Where were the Shouts of AMEN and YESSS? It left me very anxious.

galvatronsbath.bsky.social•5 hours ago

That vastly undersells the reaction. They fucking cheered. Maybe it’s because Hollywood is actually a cross-section of America, and you should, you know, FUCKING RECOGNIZE THAT?

It’s a joke because nobody believes it!

jilljohnson.bsky.social•13 hours ago

And applauded wildly.

hillsandsky.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Sounded to me like they clapped and cheered, not laughed.

hooookn.bsky.social•13 hours ago

That joke fell flat, implying a simplistic and inaccurate portrayal of complex international relations and the film's themes.

jillianr.bsky.social•13 hours ago

….In agreement.

mandysueinla.bsky.social•3 hours ago

Pointless, POS movie. I hated everyone in it except for Igor and then I come to find out he's a pro Putin pro war jerk off. I don't think I've ever hated a movie more.

polskimom.bsky.social•12 minutes ago

Terrible movie

jcar8mm.bsky.social•1 hour ago

It’s also creepy, I agree. Sean Baker is kind of a middle aged perv.

mandysueinla.bsky.social•46 minutes ago

Apparently. That explains a lot about the movie. Somebody wrote that they didn't have a safety coordinator on set either. What a creep

pepe-mccormack.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Not attending the State of the Union to listen Trumb gaslight US is the minimum we expect from Democrats; attending is complying and giving credibility to the incredible.
And it’s starting to sound like Democrats are going to fail US again.
Pass this on if you agree.

Agree. I was iffy and I stand corrected.

stnju007.bsky.social•13 hours ago

That joke falls flat, as it oversimplifies complex geopolitics and ignores the fact that the film's success is about artistic merit, not political statements.
