They may as well give the media an award for most FAKE NEWS propaganda. CNN and MSNBC would win every year.

I’m sort of amazed how out of touch I am. Very little of this rings a bell. I used to be a fanatic about movies.

The Power of the Dog was a terrible movie, Jane Campion is the overrated queen of slow plodding navel-gazing dung. Dune was pretty good, saw it in theatres. One movie not getting mentioned was The Ricardos movie. Great acting, direction, script, and both stars did great jobs in their lead roles. But Hollywood loves dying gays, Black self-victimization, or #metoo. Those three topics get you an Oscar. Black gay or being raped earns you a halo.

I haven’t watched these awards in decades.

Spoiler alert, the old white guy did it and not the accused black computer programmer.

I thought Dune sucked. But I could never manage to get through the book either.

Power of the Dog was unwatchable. I got through maybe 30 minutes of it. I turned to my wife and asked if she thought it was any good. We both agreed that we did not have the time in our lives to give up another 90 minutes or so in order to “know” the movie.

This year the movies sucked. (It is understandable considering the lock downs.) TV is just now starting to come back to life.

The woke flavor of everything will eventually pass when the accountants tell these idiot studio heads that money makes their world go round. And lousy “fit the peg” racial and sexual actors cannot make up for lousy scripts and bad direction.

The writing has been horrific. The circle jerk entertainment business has lost touch with the marketplace. When Marvel and DC comics provide inspiration for the top products...you know there is trouble out there.

Great comments by Sam Elliot on the Power of the Dog. He’s getting slammed big time for it.

I’m surprised that THE BOY BEHIND THE DOOR didn’t get nominated, since the pre-pubic writer/director team created the pedo child trafficking psychos as white MAGA talk radio listening Trump voters.

Power of the Dog was a dog - a crappy movie. Dune was more watchable.

I think if I were more “into” that series of books, I can imagine it being good.

It was visually impressive.

POTD? I have pictures of Montana that I like better than “pretend” Montana.

My father-in-law recently gave up his sailboat. He could no longer maintain it properly due to his advanced age.

The boat's name?...AMIIGAF

The Power of the Dog is the sort of arty crap that cleans up at the Oscars. I'm surprised that Denzel is nominated for Macbeth. He's a great actor but not a blank verse speaker and was terrible as Macbeth (same goes for Frances McDormand as Lady M).

People will get bored with ‘superhero’ films, and will look elsewhere for entertainment. All superhero films are the same plot, just different bad guys.

The stockholders will demand change and the studios will have to stop making adolescent action films and social warrior content films.

They will actually be required to make movies people want to watch.......................
