I’d rather watch a foreign film than see the two guys kissing in the Coke commercial I saw last night.

Did they find a pure host yet, pure enough to have never told a homosexual joke??? Pure enough to pass muster with the liberals who run the Academy? Pure enough to pass muster with assorted Hollywood idiots who will dig into his/her background to search for disqualifying actions of the past????

And this information is important enough to take up bandwidth on FR? If an incoming ICBM hit the Pantages Theater during “the Oscars,” I’d thank the country that launched it!

“Cold War” is excellent. Good music, too.

Roma is good.
It is a more intimate sort of “Upstairs, Downstairs”, but in a very different culture.

It is also entirely accurate in its depiction. I grew up in exactly this situation (other than the infidelity, etc., unlike this movie, we had a very happy childhood), but in the Philippines, not Latin America. But still, it all applies.

It is how it is, we had our Cleo, indeed, she still serves my mother as her housekeeper. And everyone I knew had his or her Cleo.

An unusual, rare take on a very common situation, the world over.

And there isnt a hint of the snowflake or the neurotic in this thing.

Piss on All Oscar nominations. Nothing but Filthy Heathen Liberals patting themselves on the back.

Yes but why? Why did they keep on trying to park that Galaxy in that garage?

All in all, it was a good movie.

The Oscars have a live thread here every year.

“The Oscars have a live thread here every year.”

Why would anyone want to waste the bandwidth on that crap here? I just can’t fathom any decent FReeper having any interest whatsoever in the $hit that goes on in Hollywierd. Those people should be your arch enemies.

The only movie I care about is Bohemian Rhapsody, NOT from Hollyweird.

Roma was on Netflix so I watched it. It’s about an ethnic maid that gets pregnant and dumped by her ethnic boyfriend while she remains working for the ethnic family she works for who treat her like family and get her prenatal care - except the husband leaves at the beginning of the film, leading to the end scene of ‘time to tell the kids’. It drags, it has very little plot, it’s boring and the ending is as anticlimactic and emotionally forced as the rest of the film. Why it was even nominated is a mystery.

I can't believe Sledge and Snafu became members of Queen. ;)

I suspect Netflix bought the nomination.
