I figured it just sucks! :)

[rawcatslyentist]

Cause it sucked, and nobody cares!

How long can one group whine before everyone goes tone deaf?

I heard on the Chris Plante show online that the Selma producers failed to massively distribute dvd’s of the film to the academy members to review. Without anything to review, how could one evaluate? Eastwood’s crew started sending out review copies in November.

[ifinnegan]

It was snubbed because it wasn’t seen that much by Academy voters and because Academy voters are racist liberals.

It’s true, the outcry. Weird that the race hustlers are actually right.

Unless it is a predetermined buzzed cause célèbre like the slavery movie last year, black stuff is ignored by Hollywood liberals.

[wideawake]

Beck is, unsurprisingly, out of his mind.

LBJ was highly unpopular among the liberal, progressive set for being a rural, backward warmonger.

"Hey hey LBJ/How many kids did you kill today?" etc.

If anything, Selma put him in too favorable a light for their preference.

[MuttTheHoople]

Because nobody in Hollywood is capable of making a movie about blacks without it being a comedy, or having blacks being horribly mistreated with no redemption.

I remember when Malcolm the Tenth came out....all the usual suspects gave it 5 Stars. I watched it, and aside from the performance by Denzel Washington (who'd I'd pay to watch read a phone book) the whole movie was an abortion.

The last time Hollywood tried to make an uplifting movie about blacks was "Red Tails"...and I think they purposefully made it bad just to keep black people from looking strong and independent.

Watched it last night, okay for history and context but that is about it, not a good production.

[Huskrrrr]

Because many of us are growing weary from being told we don’t care and that slavery is still our fault.

[RayChuang88]

I think a factor few people talk about is that the Academy members have something against one Oprah Winfrey (Winfrey's production company, Harpo Pruductions, was responsible for Selma).

"Glenn Beck Knows Why Selma Was Snubbed"

Because the title was misspelled? It should have actually been Salem?

[The_Media_never_lie]

LBJ was most certainly a politician. That is the nicest thing I can say.

[GraceG]

You mean LBJ wasn’t the second coming of Liberal Jesus... NO.........

[al_c]

He looks like Ralphie!

[FlingWingFlyer]

I wonder if it’s because $Occupy, Guy Fawkes masks and Ferguson have already pegged out most honkies’ “white guilt” meters and they just don’t shive a git anymore. A normal person can only stand having to endure so much crybaby whining before they finally go numb.

[montag813]

DUH!

Have we EVER learned anything new from Glenn Beck?

[newfreep]

Did the movie (or Beck) mention:

1. LBJ was a nasty, leftwing pol that turned the DemoKKKrat party hard left to communism.

2. LBJ was a nasty racist who, after signing the Civil Rights act stated “those ni**ers will be voting for the DemoKKKrat party for the next 200 years.

3. LBJ pushed thru a massive welfare program that was, in effect, massive socialism that destroyed the inner city families and turned generations into slaves of Big Govt.

[AU72]

Have a new category for African-American Movies, Directors, Actors, Actresses, Writer, etc.

Problem solved.

[who knows what evil?]

Glenn needs to dispatch his ‘Ghandi’ persona ASAP...there must be a pill or something...

I lived in Selma, AL for 13 months, Sept. 1962 to Oct. 1963.
The town was ready to bust open then, the E. Pettus bridge demos etc. At the time, blacks outnumbered whites about 70% to 30%. Separate but equal schools, 9 Baptist churches, Roman Catholic church was a small house that had a sign “St. ___’s RC church” on the porch. It was strange to a young man from the Northeast. The riots began after I had left, being stoked by “visitors from the North.”
I am not planning to see the film. I did not take sides in the issues but was turned off by Dallas County Sheriff Clark, the poster boy for calling Our policemen “Pigs.” A dark side of our history, for sure!

[hinckley buzzard]

Those who are even old enough to remember what happened in 1965 certainly do not still idealize LBJ. That he was a scumbag politician who cared nothing for blacks except their votes has been an open secret forever and the progressives have known it from the start. I think the race merchants are right, liberal Hollywood never actually cares about blacks (or anyone else, except their own wonderful selves.)

That having been said, while rumor has it that the film is a good one, I won't be watching it. I saw it the first time and didn't like it much.
