I never even heard of Moonlight until all of the kerfuffle the next day on the news

...young, gay black man growing up in an impoverished Miami...

Let's count the PC Points, boys & girls..... & ???

"Young" = 1 PC Point
"Gay" = 5 PC Points
"Black" = 3 PC Points
"Impoverished" = 3 PC Points
"Miami".. ??? .. South Beach! = 3 Party Points

We have a winner! 15 Points

We don't need to sell no steenkin tickets!

Obviously, people don’t like seeing Movies about Miami.

[Jeff Chandler]

A young, gay, black, Hispanic, transvestite, Muslim woman growing up in an impoverished Miami neighborhood where she got an abortion.

THAT is scary. The left’s sinister moves never end or stop.

[Kickass Conservative]

Remember the good old days when Black got you 5 points and Gay only got you 3 Points?

[Rummyfan]

Now hold on.... Chinatown is an all-time classic!

[Darksheare]

Dunno.
I recall the Dixie Chicks having empty “sold out” shows with few attendees sitting in the audience.
Heck, it was such a laugh that awhile later we had a troll show up here on FR specifically to defend the ditsy twits.
His handle was “horsewhisper”.
He then claimed he didn’t defend them.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a troll shows up in a year or three to flame us for this thread.

They would be yelling from the rooftops that there was a conspiracy. Instead, of saying that it’s a great thing the mix up was rectumfied.

[Rummyfan]

Felchers?

[Terry Mross]

The plot line is the ONLY reason it was nominated. McConaughey got the oscar ONLY because he played a gay hater who got aids. And no one knows what ever happened to the guy. In fact, most of the story about him hating gays was “artistic license”.

“Brokeback in the ‘Hood”

[jmaroneps37]

It will end up being the lowest grosser watch it work. The Hollywood schmucks embarrassed themselves by giving the award to this pile of crap instead of a real movie.

[mewzilla]

Sounds like box-office fraud. On a related note...

China passes law punishing companies for box-office fraud

[NEMDF]

OK THANKS WHEW

[Rummyfan]

Brokeback Mountain.... whatever happened to the sequel? Oklahomo......

[Crucial]

I thought that was a pretty good movie.

[SoFloFreeper]

Pretty sure that was a joke.😊

[zzwhale]

GAY BLACK MUSLIM ..... WHO DOES THAT BRING TO MIND...???

[Obadiah]

Just like the political Nobel prizes, this is exactly the same. A nothing movie that “wins” for the expressed purpose of trying to mainstream homosexuality and encourage others to make this their theme as well.
