Black Panther is not an Oscar worthy film. It should not be nominated for best picture or for any acting roles. Maybe special effects but even they weren’t that good.

Just come out and say you want black people to win Oscars or black films deserves all the Oscars regardless of quality.

That's so true. The ONLY reason Black Panther is at all notable is because of it's mostly black cast. Besides that, it's just a by-the-numbers Superhero movie, nothing exceptional. It's just another Marvel movie.

Au contraire, Monsieur Plissken. Everything around Marvel right now is becoming supremely exceptional.

1500 pages.

Don't feel bad. Earlier I said 200k feet was almost 37 miles.

I mean, we're a quarter of a way to 2000 pages, where the thread can finally equal his weight in pounds.

What really irked me about the publicity leading up to Black Panther's release was that the media (Bob included) acted like we have not seen Black superheroes in film or on television before. It also didn't help that we had SJW pinheads assuming that all of Africa would be like Wakanda if Europeans didn't colonize the continent. The film itself is an interesting convergence of Bob's tribal loyalty to Marvel and his own identity politics, which explains why he views it as a cultural milestone.

Wakanda really is a bit of a head-scratcher. It's obviously Edgar Rice Burroughs for the 1960s; a lost "city" in the jungle but it embraces science. I'd love to know if an actual African would feel patronized or if they'd accept it as a nifty story element. I kind of suspect that they have bigger problems.

Moviebob has no problem criticizing movies that are actually popular with/mainly aimed at black people, like anything Tyler Perry is in for example.

I've been posting on this thread since before it really blew up after his election chimpout, and as autistic as this sounds, I almost feel a sense of pride in seeing how it's grown since then. Here's to 1500 pages chaps, and lets see if we can get to 2000 before the year is over.

I like MCU films but they're fun popcorn fare and Black Panther possibly could deserve an Oscar for costumes but the special effects were shit in parts and the acting and story is average at best.

Oh I'm sure the Midterms sperging will generate at least 250 pages by itself. We're gonna get to 2000 before the year is done don't worry.

I guess I could see costume design being Oscar worthy. But everything else about the movie was not on the same level as even the best picture losers from the last couple of years.

What I’m going to be annoyed about is the media and Bob himself will throw a big temper tantrum when this doesn’t get nominated for Best Picture. I mean, they threw one with the Dark Knight and the Oscars caved in to them and expanded the field.

 

[Gordon Cole]

No, I'm not following Black Bob anytime soon.

So, you just hate winning. Got it.

 

[BScCollateral]

I'll give him this: genre films have never received their due from the Oscars.

The Best Picture winner for 1960 was Wilder's Apartment. Not up there with his Sunset Blvd or my favorite Wilder film, Ace in the Hole. Still, a decent film.

Odds are that if you've ever even heard of it, it's because it beat Psycho. No nominations for the film that's still being referenced sixty years on.

Same with The Shining, The Terminator, Memento, Fight Club, Scarface, Psycho, Vertigo, Rear Window, North by Northwest, Some Like It Hot, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien, Once Upon a Time in the West, Heat, King Kong, Rosemary's Baby, and The Good, Bad and Ugly. These films weren't even nominated for Best Picture and they still are culturally iconic films.

Economy’s doing good, may taxes are down, and my jobs in demand, so I’m doing great, yeah, you’re going to have to convince me to come over to your side, because if not, you won’t have the ability to win a lot of the states you need to get to 270.

 

[Oh Long Johnson]

These niggers need to learn how the US government works. The issue is not winning a presidential election in two years, then more of them going forward. It is hedging against Congress getting a GOP supermajority, which when combined with the stranglehold the GOP has on state governors and legislatures raises the specter of the GOP blasting through Constitutional amendments. That should be the big fear. That is why you convert the ghouls, the Trumptards, the people who play vidya(???).

The only other person I have seen online worrying about this is Freddie DeBoer, and he had a nervous breakdown. Meanwhile, our buddy, the corpulent critic merrily touts the DNC's strength and complete lack of desperation in some kind of twitter send-up of Kevin Bacon's Animal House turn.

Hooray! Space sperging!

If you don't like it, leave.

Funny, I could say the same thing about your fans.

Nah, the real head-scratcher of Wakanda is always going to be how Bob and the media got "This is Africa without whites!" when the first 30 seconds of the film explains the corpse of a space god a meteor of vibranium is responsible and it could've happened anywhere in the world. I don't know where or how people got "Black people are the master race" out of it beyond repeating it because others kept saying it.

Then again, Bob's kinda too dimwitted for popcorn flicks in general. Note that he thought nobody in the MCU was aware of Wakanda despite being on the United Nations and it being the reason T'Challa was even in Civil War. He confused them being secretive to mean nobody knows they exist.
