Oh My! They are starting the common tradition, of their counterparts, trapped rats and mice. They are consuming each other so to speak. So sad, I will head out to work now and never worry again about a clown I barely heard of, hosting a show I won’t watch!
Academy Awards? Anyone still watch that garbage?
Hollywood? When was the last time it made a movie or a TV show that was worth watching? The Russel Crowe flick Master and Commander, maybe, for me, but that was released about 15 years ago.
One of the cable movie channels recently showed Captain Phillips and Zero Dark Thirty. I wasn’t particularly impressed by either of them, partly because they were so dadblastedly boring. Movie studios, evidently, have long forgotten how to properly tell a story.
Compare that to, say, Charade with Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant, which was shown on Turner Classic Movies last week. Now that was a fun film to watch, but that was made over 50 years ago. That’s another one that I should add to my personal collection.
Until Hollywood starts making once again something worth watching, I’ll continue boycotting its products and, for that matter, anything to do with it.
BA your reference to movie making reminded me of a story.
A number of years back an old rancher I knew out in the west country had a specialists appointment in Red Deer and so he and his old queen went into the ‘city’ the night before the appointment. They were walking down the street past a movie theatre when his wife said, “Hey look there’s a western movie on.” They examined the poster – it met with the old boys approval. Thinking he was going to see a Randolph Scott or Alan Ladd duster the bought their tickets and in they went.
The movie started and it became evident quickly that things weren’t quite right. 15 minutes in and the old cowboy had enough of ‘brokeback mountain’ ha.
Ba and abt, I watch a few films on TV, but always avoid the many pc films out there. Too many films have the Muslim terrorists or the criminals as the good guys, and it gets bothersome.
When a cable channel showed BBM, I thought I’d watch it just to see what all the fuss was about. I switched it off after a few minutes because it was insufferably boring.
Then again, Midnight Cowboy wasn’t a horse opera, either, and I thought it was rubbish.

“Hollywood? When was the last time it made a movie or a TV show that was worth watching?”
There’s a lot of dadblastedly boring movies, I’ll agree. In a list of the best movies of the last 10 years I’ve picked 5 that I’ve seen and liked and most people might agree are quite interesting. For for the sake of brevity I’ll leave out awards, actors ( except one) and storylines. This is from the imdb, out of 100 best:
# 21: Django Unchained (2012) *
# 19: Twelve Years a Slave (2013)
# 18: The Dark Knight (2008)
# 15: The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
# 1 : Inglorious Basterds (2009) *
* In both these, Austrian actor Christoph Waltz is superb, and
currently is my favourite actor.
Great TV : IMO
Dramas: # 1: Ray Donovan #2: Vikings # 3: Blue Bloods
Comedy: Tracey Ullman’s Show ( new one, she’s back)
Channels: H.B.O. and T.C.M.C.**(Turner Classic Movie Channel)
** great to record good old movies, currently have have 100+ in a mixed library of documentaries, and various other shows.
(Of course there’s probably a lot more good stuff out there. I look forward to reading about other suggestions from readers, hope there are some)
White Hollywood Homosexuals are racist to the black folks again! Boycott the haters!
But the best humor is about race and perverts. Is this why comedy has degenerated into lunatics ranting about Trump for hours on end. Take away real humour and you end up with the Daily Show with a pathetically bitter African guy whose vitriol is backed with a laugh track. Apparently the laugh track makes it funny.
It seems that only Trump jokes and bathroom noises qualify these days.
Basically. It is now impossible to impossible to tell jokes normal people find funny.
“Comedians,” when they run out of ways to insult Donald Trump, are reduced to wildly exaggerated complaints about their own trivial problems. There is nothing more boring than listening to someone else’s trivial problems. If I found that amusing I wouldn’t leave communication with my ex-wife (now blessedly infrequent) to my lawyer.
I don’t care that someone cut in line in front of you at the supermarket, woman. Kindly yield the stage to a man who will laugh with me at someone who needs laughing at. Like you.
You simply cannot have a free, civil or united society under PC and SJW ideologies.
These hypocritical leftards are the ones dividing our societies into every little sub-group imaginable then hyping their real, manufactured or simply imagined grievances mainly against straight white men. They are the ones fanning the flames of hatred against any group or individual who dare stand opposed to their destructive ideologies. The whole time, accusing us conservatives of committing THEIR crimes.
But, it is always somewhat satisfying to see one of their own caught in the ‘free-thought carpet-bombing’ campaign of the left’s own PEU’s (Propaganda Enforcement Units). Sad though to see so many blacks sucked in by the Dems pandering to the point where they have willingly enslaved themselves into this decades-long cycle of self-destruction.
I nominate Trey Parker and Matt Stone as replacement hosts. They’re two of the most imaginative funny gritty entertaining members of the Film Actor Guild. Give it to ‘em Team America! Now that show would be a ratings winner I’d even watch.
rumour has it the talking turd was JT incognito.
it does happen in the film industry . . . .
kinda like making amends for the ‘blame canada’ episode.
In the social justice rubric… blackness is not an inoculation against “homophobia” … and certainly not against “transphobia”. How DARE this black-man desire his son to become a heterosexual young MAN! The horror … the horror. He probably is raising him to a RAPIST too!
Career … over. Thanks to the … inclusive … left
He said he was stepping down so he wouldn’t be a distraction from the award show itself.
Put through the lib speak translator it translates to
He stepped down so that Hollywood couldn’t be accused of hypocrisy when it uses the platform to attack the president for all and any perceived evils in the progressive lexicon.
I think Chris Rock had the best response – “only gays watch the Oscars anyway”.
Baby, its cold outside.
so Kate, you sayin ‘stuff’ stays online in perpetuity?
far out.
yo, gay cuminyounity:
SHUT YER FCUKIN PIEHOLE FINALLY. STFU WITH ALL THE BTICHING AND BITCHING AND WHINING IN-YER-FACE SHIT.
we ALL have rights, m’kay? leave it at that.
As per thread topic: so Kevin Hart stepped down from hosting the Oscars. Who cares? Wonder who will replace him? Has there been an announcement yet? It will probably be Neil Patrick Harris or Ellen Degeneres. The S.N.L. crowd is more risqué. I know, who cares?
