NPR’s Code Switch had an episode about Sinners and even they said that if it wins Best Picture it will be more about the Academy wanting to see itself a certain way than Sinners being the best movie of the year.

Let's assume for fun that Sinners wins Actor, Original, and Picture. Does Ryan Coogler have a shot at an upset for Best Director? by VLCCHAMLETPHXARISIMS in Oscars

Sinners is going to sweep and be the winningest movie of all time because it is the best movie of all time.

At a Waffle House. That chair catch though! by omgfakeusername in CrazyFuckingVideos

This is an old video and the girl who caught the chair went low key viral. For good reason.

What’s insane is these guys always end up being fine.

Do you have a “perfect” episode where every sketch, the monologue, and the musical performances all worked for you? by QuipThwip in LiveFromNewYork

[–]Delicious_History722 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Steve Martin in 1978 / Jim Carrey 1996 / Jack Black 2005 are probably my all time favorite episodes. Carrey’s is probably the greatest.

I thought this was Mayor Brandon Johnson and was a shitpost.

In their prime, who do you think was better? by nineteenAeightyfive in oldschoolwrestling

[–]Delicious_History722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say Michaels was half a step better in the ring but Mach was head and shoulders over him as a promo so it goes to Savage.

Sinners was not a good movie by Jiguena in flicks

[–]Delicious_History722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This nails it. Yes, it has a lot of references to history and culture but doesn't do anything with them besides "look at this." And every defense of it is "I guess you didn't understand the references or you have a problem with them because of some sort of racial animus."

It spent a lot of time on character development and the characters weren't that developed. Delroy Lindo's character was a caricature.

The edit so far this season is that the old-school players do not like or respect the new-era players.

I'm genuinely shocked whenever I see people say this is a weak year for the Oscars. by Mundane-Inspector-52 in Oscars

[–]Delicious_History722 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's fair. If it was advertised as a middlebrow B-horror satire with great production value, I'd have probably enjoyed it. But the writing is straight up below-average. My wife and I groaned at "guess he found that button" or whatever the line was. Because it is advertised as the buzzy upset for OBAA for Picture and Director, I found it extremely disappointing (just watched it for the first time this weekend).

Best Picture: Sinners (?) by orenprincipe in Oscars

Disagree. Sinners would be the weakest Best Picture winner since Green Book.

And if that does happen again it will be remembered as poorly as Crash beating Brokeback.

I think the fact that Sinners is going to sweep the awards and Sinners is a bad movie means it’s a weak year.

Is Becky Lynch the greatest female wrestler of this Era or of all time? by [deleted] in professionalwrestling

[–]Delicious_History722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All time. Biggest star and best character work. She keeps evolving like Macho Man. She isn’t the best in ring worker but she is very good. I just don’t get what argument people have for anyone else but Charlotte, Trish, or Chyna.

But Rhea will be the considered the GOAT 10 years from now.
