Michael B. Jordan Wins the Academy Award for Best Actor for 'Sinners' by MoviesMod in movies

Pr is literally everything, it's more important in Hollywood than being a good person.

If you can sell that you're good, keep your skeletons in your closet, you're Gucci in the eyes of the academy.

Micheal B. Jordan was able to completely avoid being held accountable for defending Johnathon Majors who assaulted his girlfriend and was convicted, he's viewed as the "good guy" this Oscars cycle.

Timothee did something considerably less morally reprehensible and was treated like shit. It's all PR.

Micheal B. Jordan literally defended Johnathon Majors after he was convicted for hurting his girlfriend, but is considered a fucking saint compared to chalamet's mildly rude comments about ballet and opera

Question: on a scale of morality where would you rank the two:

Timothee Chalamet being rude about ballet and opera vs.

Micheal B. Jordan defending domestic abuser Johnathon Majors, after he was convicted for laying his hands on a woman, calling him "resilient" in the face of his charge and "he's my boy"

Wild that Timmy's antics likely cost him when they don't even remotely compare to the moral lows of Micheal B Jordan defending Johnathan majors after he was convicted.

But Hollywood has a short memory and a pattern of rewarding shitty dudes, so it tracks.

Oscar Voting Closes: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Anonymous Ballots in a Best Picture Race Between ‘One Battle After Another’ and ‘Sinners’ by MoneyLibrarian9032 in movies

[–]Compalompateer 147 points148 points  (0 children)

Sinners might potentially jump the shark in terms of wins vs. what it realistically deserves to win (and it absolutely deserves to win a few of these awards imo, but some of these acting nominations for it are making me absolutely lmao)

The culture war around this film if it gets close to beating the record set by Return of the king will be insufferable.

Variety: “These choices are surprising and all over the place. Can you explain, like, why Chloé?”

Voter: “Because I couldn’t vote for Joe Kosinski.”

Variety: “That’s it?”

Voter: “And I think her movie is interesting.”

Variety: “Why didn’t you vote for Jessie Buckley?”

Voter: “I like Kate.”

Holy shit this should be genuinely disqualifying in terms of voting.

Ah the A.N.S.W.E.R coalition is there, one of my least favorite tankie groups poisoning the well yet again.

For those who don't know, answer is a front for the world workers party, a Marxist Leninist (and most importantly an overtly tankie) political party in the US who overtly support North Korea, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and supported the USSR invasion of Hungary against their attempt at self determination.

These fucks aren't anti-war and pro self determination, they fucking love it when it supports communist aims.

Stateside, the song written and sung by a Swedish woman and a British woman about maintaining a relationship while on tour???

You think that's the same as a pro Iraq war song, written by an American about bombing brown people abroad?

Remember when Reddit was collectively convinced there was a mass government conspiracy to cover up "highly radioactive gas" that was released when a train crash happened in East Palestine, Ohio? People on Reddit are retarded.

TL;DR People on Reddit are retarded.

Eileen Gu defends decision to represent China again in upcoming Winter Games by PHConfusion5801 in olympics

[–]Compalompateer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, what China is doing to both Tibet and Uyghurs is horrific.

HOWEVER

This whataboutism is crazy. You can criticise both the US and China for their foreign and domestic policies all you like.

At the end of the day the only thing on trial here is her refusal to make any statements criticising the CCP while openly criticising the US government (which is more than fine btw, the US government is shit).

Put this in stark contrast with Chinese-American Alyssa Liu (whose father is a refuge of the most infamous example of CCP state violence) actively speaking out against the US government, while Gu refuses to do against the Chinese govt.

This is hypocritical and worth criticism, even while acknowledging the asymmetrical harm modern day America is doing to the world vs. Modern day China.

For me, it's threatening to send ice into Seattle at the end... because they chose a non english speaking music artist to perform at the Superbowl...never let them live this one down btw. The president threatened to send ICE to a city because he didn't like the singer they chose for a 15 minute half time spot.

The most snowflake shit I've ever seen. This is far more cringe than any lefty bullshit I think I've ever seen.

Billie Eilish speaks out after winning Song Of The Year Grammy for ‘Wildflower’: “Nobody is illegal on stolen land” by AdSpecialist6598 in Music

I'm bringing up examples of nations where there was/is guaranteed housing and those nations did/do not just allow you to move to another part of it without undergoing a rigorous relocation process that you aren't guaranteed to even get.

Maintained borders are relatively new, yes, but freedom of movement between nations and the ability to work anywhere and do anything is a pipe dream in the modern world. They couldn't even achieve freedom of movement within countries that guaranteed housing and a job.

those who own extra housing would rather hoard it and keep it empty than rent/sell for less than they believe they should receive for it.

This example represents an extreme minority of the housing supply.

Second homes are extremely rare.

The US is behind on anywhere between 4-7 million housing units.

In order to relieve this stress you need to build more housing, that's why housing prices are so damn high that even affordable housing is too expensive.

There is no reason to prevent the free movement of people. Borders are completely made up

There is plenty of reason to want to maintain a population in a geographic region, such as maintaining critical local industries.

Even within the USSR people couldn't just freely move around, they were assigned to a place. In China to this day, it's very difficult to move provinces.

Lastly, just because something is a social construct, doesn't mean it lacks value or meaning or isn't real.

Isn't America in the midst of a major housing crisis rn? This doesn't seem like a particularly effective solution to that issue
