Star Wars was the last time I watched the Oscars ...

That was also pretty much the time when Hollywood still made decent pictures.
I might add that the Star Wars trilogy were the last times I saw movies in a theater.
As if the movies they now make are not bad enough - it's going to get worse, if that's
possible. Henceforth if a filmmaker wants his film to be eligible for an oscar, he
will have to have a cast as follows: one male, one female, one each trans male,
trans female, one quadriplegic, one each; black, hispanic, chinese, one queer male.
one lesbian, and one blind hindu.
Failure to meet these criteria will mean no possibility of an oscar award.

I don't care about the Oscars,, they are basically movie folks patting each other on the back,


re the movies in a theater, ,


Blade Runner 2049 was excellent on the big screen
1917 was too
Dunkirk was good too,


I enjoyed the Craig Bond films on the big screen,


oh,, and Dune,,, amazing

I didn't even like Star Wars. I thought it was silly and never watched another. The sci/fi stuff today is so beyound belief I don't see how people watch them without getting seizures.

As far as space goes, I liked The Passenger, The Martian and Gravity (except for the fake gravity).

Which Dune ? There have been three so far. I liked the first and the 4 hour one.
The latest version is only part one. Like Atlas Shrugged, we'll have to wait a year for part 2
and it'll have different actors.

The only oscars I watch are the ones on my grill!

the first was good,, but a bit odd,

the second, (on SciFi) was better at following the book, but funky effects


on the big screen, go see the new one, (part 1)
part 2 is green lighted
