Oprah is bigger than a lot of things.

BLOVIATED

[fwdude]

Can someone explain to me the popularity of and how anyone could ever listen to this New Age cow?

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

**Oprah Winfrey, whose credibility and following enables her to mobilize the masses.**

NONSENSE.

[rjsimmon]

It wasn’t that good of a movie.

[V_TWIN]

Oh yeah, that borders freedonia IIRC. ;^)

[Kommodor]

In that case, she should spend her $$$, buy a nice little country somewhere in the old continent, name it whatcando, and make their dreams come true. And invite all her friends to go with her.

A crappy and extemely overrated movie at that. I saw it a few months ago after reading all the hype and it was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen, just incredibly boring and stupid. The whole movie I can sum up in two words: “We’re black” After you realize that’s what they are pushing, you start saying to yourself “Yeah? And?...” and then the movie is over.

Oprah Winfrey, whose credibility and following enables her to mobilize the SHEEPLE, LEMMINGS AND ZOMBIES.

FIFY

And a weird glorified cultural thing making leaders in Africa look benevolent loving and kind when most are tyrannical despots where their people are starving in mass, horribly oppressed, or suffering diseases like AIDS. Sort of like a super hero version Coming To America, which BTW, I enjoyed but required a suspension of disbelief.

I skipped Black Panther. I thought the character was boring when Marvel started the comic book decades ago. In fact, I’m pretty much done with comic book movies at this point.

Here, don’t take my word for it, here are other reviews from the public. This is el primo example of how the lefist media LIES to push an agenda ....

AA’s were hoodwinked by hollywood into thinking BP was some sort of cultural event... but it wasn’t.

It was a movie, an okay movie, not a great movie...

The Academy Awards stopped being about recognizing great movies a long time ago and basically is just lets give awards to movies that advocate the right political cause at the moment...

Period.

[Lakeshark]

I tried to watch.

I figured it might be good, but I was wrong.

Turned it off half an hour in.

It might not have been the dumbest movie ever.

But it sure came close......

[Rummyfan]

After the movie premiered, there were black people actually trying to buy tickets to go to ‘Wakanda’...........

LOL!

[SauronOfMordor]

For white movie critics, being less than totally enthused about Black Panther would have been a guaranteed career ender.

Expect BP to sweep the Oscars. Nobody would dare vote for anything else.

You got me!

Was wondering since this movie first came out whether it had something to do with the revolutionary communist terrorist group of the 60s. I figured, in some way(s), it surely must, at least to the point of an association being made between the words "superhero" and "Black Panther".

In any case, did a little digging and found this below, apparently from a site that favors the film...

The image on the right is from the film, the other is of the founder of the 1960s revolutionary communist terrorist group. This alone, to me, appears to prove a definitely connection, despite the article title claiming just the opposite, that the two things are not related.

As Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther” continues to smash through box office records, a perennial complaint about the character’s origin has reemerged.

But no, the character wasn't named after the revolutionary socialist and black empowerment-focused Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, which was founded by Bobby Seale and Huey Newton (pictured above) in October 1966.

Article title: "No, ‘Black Panther’ Was Not Named After the Black Panther Party"

Oprah is bigger than a lot of things.

I’m glad I didn’t see it.

How are Oprah’s schools in South Africa doing?
