The unORIGINAL DC Boards Lounge (with pics of beer)

It really is a shame... especially as Precious is going to win a bunch of undeserved ****.

whoa whoa whoa there

 

[Ace of Knaves]

As long as Hurt Locker beats Avatar i'll be happy.

 

[Gilpesh]

whoa whoa whoa there

What? It's the truth. It's the worst kind of Oscar bait... and they're falling for it.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I doubt Precious will win much Oscar-wise. It hasn't so far with anything else.

I saw it this weekend, and it's been a while since I've had the emotional reaction that I had toward that film

Well, even one Oscar is too many.

I saw it this weekend,

I am so sorry... so so sorry. [/Tenth Doctor]

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I have absolutely no desire to see Precious, but Lee Daniels was on The Daily Show a couple weeks ago and he seems like a nice guy, so I wouldn't mind seeing it win some Oscars. The Oscars are meaningless to me anyway.

 

[BlackLantern]

Im not saying it should rack up Oscars, but it is a really eye opening movie....**** like that happens more than people want to admit

 

[Tron Bonne]

Yeah, I generally don't put any real weight to awards or anything. I still follow them and like rooting for stuff I think should win though. Well, I did anyway.

So, Corp, are they going to close this place as soon as it hits 10,000 posts?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'll be closing it, yes. If I catch it right on the 10,000th post, I'll do it then. Otherwise, it'll be whenever I happen to see that it's over 10k. Hype policy, and supposedly it reduces lag, which can only be a good thing at this point.

I don't even know what you're talking about. All I know about the movie is that it involves rape and it has a bunch of actors who aren't really actors, like Mariah Carey and Lenny Kravitz.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

I'm just going to start calling you Albi.

That's not too far from where I was raised. I've been there. Decent place.

Bwahahahahaha!

Oh yeah, that's totally not winning anything. Maybe a technical award here or there. Only reason anybody in Hollywood even paid attention to that movie is because of Peter Jackson's involvement.

It's a shame. I loved District 9.

D9 was pretty good, but I'm pretty sure it isn't really considered Oscar worthy.

It really is a shame... especially as Precious is going to win a bunch of undeserved ****.

Whoa whoa! And -I'm- racist?

What's it about again? Is that the one about the girl who gets verbally abused by her mother/stepmother

 

[BlackLantern]

more like parental rape on a regular basis...Carey plays a social worker, I don't like her much but she isn't horrible

 

[Tron Bonne]

I'll be closing it, yes. If I catch it right on the 10,000th post, I'll do it then. Otherwise, it'll be whenever I happen to see that it's over 10k. Hype policy, and supposedly it reduces lag, which can only be a good thing at this point.

Damn, that's just a few posts away too. I hope Womp is working hard...or barely working on the next one

Nah, I actually hope it catches it in time.

Her mom rapes her in the literal sense?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Whoa whoa! And -I'm- racist?

How is it racist to not like a movie?

 

[Tron Bonne]

How is it racist to not like a movie?

'Cause it's got black people in it

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

How is it racist to not like a movie?

Cause Gilpy doesn't like it due to it being about a black woman.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Hmm. Either you or Gilpesh are a *****e depending on the veracity of that statement...

more like parental rape on a regular basis...Carey plays a social worker, I don't like her much but she isn't horrible

Apparently, Helen Mirren was originally going to play her role. Jon Stewart was like, "So, after Helen Mirren called and said she couldn't do it, were you just like, 'You know who I need? Get me the girl from Glitter.'"

Her mom rapes her in the literal sense?

no her dad rapes her and her mom lets it happen and is also physically/verbally abusive

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

I thought it was, "Make unsupported accusations of people's taste in movies" day. :?

 

[BlackLantern]

yea it is

 

[Tron Bonne]

Ah, okay. I didn't know there was a father figure. I only had only seen the mother in previews

 

[fifthfiend]

to quote a very funny webcomic I saw

Jesus didn't stay on the cross this long....get over it

Welp guys

Blantern hates Jesus

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I think we all kinda knew that already...

 

[Gilpesh]

Cause Gilpy doesn't like it due to it being about a black woman.

No. I don't like it because it is clear Oscar Bait bull ****. Let's take a look at the checklist:

Ugly protagonist. Check.
People playing against type to win awards. Check.
Lots of horrible things happen to the protagonist. Check.
More horrible things happen to the protagonist. Check.
More people playing against type in a role that tries to inspire the protagonist. Check.
More horrible things happen to the protagonist. Check.
Movie ends on an even bigger down note (usually something bad happening to the protagonist). Check.





It reminds me of Blazing Saddles when Hedy... I mean Hedley Lamarr says, "And I am most certainly risking a nomination for best supporting actor!"
