Finding New Shit on TV

[pdub]

Saying "correct" winner for best picture is like going to the MOMA, picking out ten paintings, putting someone in a room with them and having them pick out what they thought was best. And then after that, if it wasnt the one the paid off/politically motivated bourgeois picked, saying, "good painting, but incorrect."

So, your opinion on the Helms Foundation titles is...?

[jfish26]

Also, not sure that "bourgeois" is really what you're going for, here.

We're keeping them.

I'm not contesting the Oscars or Helms.
That is/was the methodology at the time - however flawed it is/may have been.
But at least with the Helms, you are awarding teams with objective statistics, wins and losses.

There isn't that statistic with movies.

box office sales?

[pdub]

That would make Avatar as the best movie ever made.
Woof.

Illy I think tried an argument like that once.

[Deleted User 863]

Avatar is an awesome movie fwiw

[pdub]

Checks out.

I liked it the 1st time I saw it. It was also the 1st 3D movie I saw.
Watched it on teevee a few years later and thought WTF, this is terrible.

3D in the theater was way cooler for sure

Oscars are like 1000x more legit than the Helms titles.

[shindig]

Yeah, I get that. Thanks for ruining it for me.

Getting out of the car was hokey and no where near believable.

Fake Russian mob.

Yes.
Her easy infiltration straight to the boss was eye rolling.

You want a really, I mean REALLY, good movie to watch on Amazon Prime right now?

Sound of Metal.

Don’t look up what’s it is about.
Just watch.
I dunno if it is up for Oscars but it’s better than Parasite so I sure hope so.

Watched it last night, really enjoyed it.

[pdub]

Nomadland was amazing.

Correct winner.

Nope.

[pdub]

Great movie.
BEAUTIFULLY shot. You could feel the US of A. And the people.

So good painting of a picture the director and actress carried. And subtle.

But nothing happened. No chances. No nothing. Sound of Metal better movie in my opinion.

Sasquatch on Hulu!

It’s about mysterious murders on a weed farm in NorCal

Good investigative journalism and stuff

The Son of Sam 4 part documentary on Netflix was very well done, and fascinating.
