I'd like to see a Bobby Roberts biopic win Best Picture to see Bobby Roberts reaction.

Bobby Roberts.

[stufte]

The pop music industry is pretty upfront about being little more than dopamine pushers and rent seekers, so it makes sense that they wouldn't suddenly decide to make statements with their annual awards show.

Hollywood on the other hand...

It's more pretentious but can be as shallow at its worst.

I don't even think video games are art, let alone Hollywood movies.

I was saying that the two behave inconsistently because of the respective edifices upon which they rest.

So non hollywood movies are art then?

And yes, games are definitely art.

Is La La Land a straight up musical romcom or does it  take any unusual turns?

It's not 100% musical, AFAIK. There's dramatic scenes and then scenes where they burst into song while a romance happens. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't necessarily say it's "best picture." At the same time, I haven't seen Moonlight (yet) to say if that deserved it.

Though the BCT regulars "so woke" stanning for Moonlight makes me kinda wish La La Land did win best picture.

Yes, if you got a problem with imaginary alt-righters then directly say what and who instead of being a bitch.

I think it's fine for awards to help push movies with a message (or a message with a movie) because films are not made in a vacuum and will end up somehow say something about the times more often than not. I mean Moonlight is apparently a fine film on its own, and it's no less or no more out of place in the arbitrary selection of the "best films of year X," than any of its peers. If voters wanted to honor a good film and also take a stand on whatever issue it depitcs, well good for them.

Most of the time, I feel any debate on the matter comes from a sense of overestimating the meaning or importance of those awards.

[I'm a Puppy!]

The Oscars are only important to me if they agree with my movie tastes. Otherwise, they're commercial schlock.

NBC: Yemen raid that left SEAL + 25 civilians dead gave no significant intelligence View Single Post

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1348294

Although Pentagon officials have said the raid produced "actionable intelligence," senior officials who spoke to NBC News said they were unaware of any, even as the father of the dead SEAL questioned the premise of the raid in an interview with the Miami Herald published Sunday.

A senior Congressional official briefed on the matter said the Trump administration has yet to explain what prompted the rare use of American ground troops in Yemen, but he said he was not aware of any new threat from al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the al Qaeda affiliate that was targeted.

We'll make a political police officer of you yet, benji.

[benjipwns]

Actually putting all Republicans on the record from here on out is essential since many of them will be complicit in actual treason.

GOP is basically acting like a mafia lawyer that doesn't wanna know when a murder is gonna happen so they can have plausible deniability.

This kind of strategy is really smart to build up a warchest of documented republican douchebaggery ready to be used in midterm message building.

With someone as erratic as syphilitic brained DJ Trump you never know what mini-scandal will be in progress ready to be exploited come 2018. Coming to the fight with as a diverse an arsenal of easily digested transgressions has the potential to be game changing.

Put everything on the record, that is about all they can do. Receipts can be pulled later

Is Trump protected from criminal charges if his tax returns are leaked and show irrefutable evidence of criminal activity?

This is the one reason I don't want them to leak. He needs to actually receive justice for his crimes.

[Faction]

I actually would like to see some discussion of the implications of identifying with another ethnicity and what could be behind that from a psychological perspective, but the whole thread is "If you do anything besides agree that this woman is Hitler, you're a traitor to the cause!"

It's so annoying.

I identify more with male characters than female. I'm weird.  Mostly the 'other' type (hence my well known obsession with Sherlock)

I guess I also identify with white characters even though I'm NA, but that could be because we'll written native characters don't really exist in popular media.

I ain't transanything, and the whole transracial thing baffles me. Your brain can't be born black if you are white, Rachel.

Milk being white supremacy is strange to me since me and my family and relatives that I know do all drink milk as far as I can recall. We're definitely not white. Don't know if I know anyone intolerant, but I guess that isn't something you can tell from a face.
Does this mean I'm an honourary Aryan? Would I be one of the Good Ones™?

[benjipwns]

For Kara:

The tax returns wouldn't show criminal activity. The IRS would have prosecuted him for it. Look at what's on your tax return. They likely show semi-aggressive tax planning techniques, such as taking depreciation deductions on commercial property that is actually appreciating in value, using section 1031 to "sell" property without needing to pay taxes, etc.

They could very well show extensive business loans from Russian and other foreign banks. The press would spend years investigating all the shell companies etc.

What if she was a black woman who identified as a white man who wants to sex up 1000 year old cat girls that look like 12 year olds with giant boobs?
It's obviously going to take off, too. The reaction to Dolezal is exactly how reactions were to a transgender person up until a few years ago. GAF can accept people who identify with being animals or want be in love with anime characters, but the idea of a white person identifying as a black person is just so outside the realm of possibility it can't be real, this stupid racist bitch hope she's homeless and dies alone etc etc.

What if it was a black woman trying to live as a white woman, all threads on GAF would be full of people calling her a coon.

Anybody work in PR or gaming PR?

I'm kinda at a crossroads right now. I recently got my Master's in broadcast journalism and digital media. Now I have a job in Charleston, SC as a TV news producer.
Unfortunately, I don't like it at all. The pay is shit relative to the work. It's depressing as hell and I have no social life at all. It's also slowly deteriorating my mental health.

I know that some journalist transfer to PR. I was wondering if anyone here has done the same? I have an extreme passion for gaming and solid work ethic. I've interned at a prominent gaming site before...but I was too young and stupid to know what I wanted and didn't take advantage of the situation. I don't mean to sell myself or anything.
What do employers look for?
Where should I look?
Is anyone in gaming PR, as in working for publishers or developers? I was just hoping to be pointed in a certain direction in the gaming industry.
Is it also a nightmare? It can't be worse than producing tv news.
I'll start at any level and go anywhere. I don't care. I just want to be passionate about my work.

tl;dr-I want to be pointed in the direction of PR work, particularly in the gaming industry.

I'm not aware of any remotely promising rumors linking Bannon to Russia. As such, in the remote case that a Russian connection turns up again, another fall guy could be fired like Flynn, and Bannon will remain in power.

The tragedy of Argentina, A century of decline

*quotes entire article*

The article is three years old at this point, but I think there's some important lessons for today. Stay in school, save more money, don't let your institutions deteriorate

And then the first four replies:

That is pure propaganda. The country got in debt thanks to right wing regimes supported by USA, after that there was a neo liberal government in the 90s that completely destroyed the economy of the country and caused the 2001 economic collapse.

The article covers a bit more than the last 30 years and presents a few theories as to what happened in Argentina, some not even seemingly incompatible with your political biases.

Mexico is the same , 100 years of nothing and the last 20 years thanks to neoliberal policies helped to have now 55 million of poor people , rich more richer , middle class struggling.

This is probably true for GAF, but in general there's also his "democracy from below" stuff (peeps go wild for dat ish) and his being like the first recent leader there to realize that maybe it's not the best idea to be completely beholden to one class of people to import all your food.
