No longer a merit based awards (not that it had been for a while)

yoshmyster
I kind a heard in passing the academy now has things to check off in order qualify for their dog and pony award. It was bad enough they made remakes and put folks of color in to diversity. I kind a hope directors will now just day screw it I'm making it my way but they won't. But then again it might be fun to see remake of "Godfather" with diversity. In this they'll have Michael marry a nice African-American fella and have Don explain about times changing.

     Godfather would be tame. Imagine a re-make of Blazing Saddles.

    Even without the diversity crap , Blazing Saddles could not be filmed today ! What ethnic , special ,minority, racial, sexual , gender thingy / cultural group didn’t it insult or lampoon ?

    Same with GWTW, Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn. Part of the war on our culture. Has not a damn thing to do with racism.

    Huckleberry Finn was run out of the school libraries 20 years ago because of the use of the N word.
    Yes, but the most noble character in the book was the runaway slave Jim.  The two fake English Dukes showed some white guys as criminals and fools.
    PC BS,  goodbye Huckleberry Finn.   The people who banned the book never even read it.

    Speaking of "Blazing Saddle" could "Tropic Thunder" be made today? Blackface Robert Downey (loved as Iron Man) would he be shamed today?

    They are very well funded, smart, dedicated and organized.  It takes money to keep people going, rents, food, transportation, clothes, mayhem equipment, shelter, medical supplies, drugs, condoms, printing, spray paint, gasoline for fires, pads and armor, shoes, water and everything else down to tampons costs MONEY.  That money is supplied by others, some you listed that sit back laughing at the useful fools they support. George Soros is at the top of the food chain with more money than most fortune 500 companies to dole out.
