Since when did Spike Lee become a sport?

Shit. NM. read the title wrong.
 
The good thing about opinions is that yours are usually wrong.

Bonus is that you haven't seen this version of A Star is Born and haven't seen all his movies.

He was in a another couple of fantastic movies I remember off the top of my head:

Conagher (western) - it's about fighting the elements, Indians, outlaws, and loneliness.


Mask (drama) - it's about an intelligent, outgoing and humorous teenager who suffers from a facial deformity called "lionitis" and has now outlived his life expectancy.

Black Panther had no business being in the conversation. It's a Marvel movie, and really not any different than any other Marvel movie. Same pace, same humor, same writing style. Nothing special other than the politics of it.

I haven't seen Vice or Greenbook yet, but I want to. I saw A Star Is Born and Bohemian Rhapsody and I thought they were both excellent. Considering this was Bradley Cooper's first time directing, and he took something that had been made three times before and made it THIS good, really says something. He also went against the advice of many people who told him it would be a horrible idea to make the movie. He recruited Gaga something like 3 years ago while her career was on the downswing. He learned to sing, play the guitar and the piano. The whole thing is just amazing.

Really the best part about Bohemian Rhapsody was Rami Malek. I was really hoping he would win best actor for his performance and he did.

You're saying they shouldn't have won the Oscar for costume design?

Stop.
 
Fact - his movie would not have been even nominated for an Oscar if it wasn't about race relations. I wish he made more movies like Inside Man.

White people just can't take it when black stuff does well....

Jesus...
 
In my opinion, Sam Elliott was in one good movie - Roadhouse.
My goodness! This might be as close as we ever get to agreement. Slight correction, one of his good movies.
Roadhouse might be my all time favorite movie, and Sam was terrific.

I own BlacKkKlansman on Bluray. Paid 20 plus dollars for it. Was about a 6 out of 10.

The performances and settings were top notch. The entertainment value wasn't really up there. Sorry.

If it was as good as I expected it to be there wouldn't be an issue. It wasn't but it was still 8 million times more deserving than Black Panther.

Or......it was not a best picture kind of movie.

Neither was Bohemian Rhapsody.

You know what was a brilliant movie? Last years Get Out.

You know who was brilliant this year, and won for it? Mahershala Ali.

Maybe not EVERY FUCKING THING has to do with race.

Maybe some "white people" just think a certain movie made by "black people" is a shitty movie

You can at least garner some information about how the game went from a box score. How are you going to know if a movie is good without seeing it? You either have to trust someone else who saw it, or you're just basing your opinion on the basic plotline or the actors in it.

Professional reviews, reviews from friends and trailers can tell you a lot about a movie.
