Of course the vfx nerds are painfully awkward, but also ones wearing a tartan scarf or something which is pretty cool E: this is the first time I've heard Shallow and how do people think this is a good song? How loving boring. I, Butthole fucked around with this message at 04:04 on Feb 25, 2019 |

What a dreadfully slow, boring song. EDIT: And I mean, not everything needs to be up-tempo, but compare this with a winner in the category a while back: Al Otro Lado Del Rio. Now that's a well done, slow, thoughtful song. PT6A fucked around with this message at 04:11 on Feb 25, 2019 |

Well now at least everyone who said Black Panther was not a good enough film to win Best Picture, can have their nose rubbed in their own stupidity like a dog that's pissed on the rug. I mean, I don't know it should've won but I'm extremely loving certain it was more deserving than Green Book.

Its slow but it builds up to a point that only the best singers can hit as a crescendo, and shows Gaga's talent. I'm trained somewhat in singing and cant do what that song turns into. Edit: without completely dropping my register

Lol you say this as if there weren't 6 other nominees as well as dozens of other more deserving movies released this year Hot take: neither of those movies (or BR for that matter) deserved best picture and what you're saying here doesn't have poo poo to do with anything

The Netflix hate is absurd. How dare a company exist that purchases acclaimed work then puts it on a platform to be seen by a huge audience. Like, all big business sucks but they're no worse than the traditional theatrical model. It's not like the cinema going experience is like what we see in, ironically, Roma these days. It's unmanned multiplexes full of texting and chattering teens. Oooh the sanctity of the silver screen. I bet most of these members watched the lovely screener DVDs they get anyway, for the titles they actually bother with.

A CIA agent looks on, happily, as Wakanda joins the world (there's a pretence that the agent's a clown whose gone rogue, intended to distract from the fact that the CIA is perfectly in favour of T'Challa to the point of tweeting about the movie in real life). Real T'Challas exist. Mohammad bin Salman is an example, a reformer who pushes for modernization and liberalization while still torturing dissidents, waging imperialistic war, and buying French chateaus.
