The new story line is pretty good, different from previous seasons
I think they try to follow what is going on in the world. Domestic terrorism is definitely in the spotlight these days. As well as POTUS.

It's definitely changed. The awards aren't about who deserves it for actually doing well in whatever category, but it largely seems based upon who they think is deserving in the political sense. For example, there was zero chance Dunkirk would win best picture just given the topic and who was in it. It's not culturally hip or weird, so it couldn't win.
Without getting too political, listening to the Hollywood hypocrites is nauseating. Nearly every single issue they stand against or up for are things that demonstrate their hypocrisy and it drives me nuts.
Awesome, I can catch that after the new season of Silicon Valley.

I'm sorry, are you saying the people pictured (above) are the SAME HUMAN?
Most movies suck these days. I was a big fan of the original Star Wars but the new ones are bad. I can't remember the last time i saw a funny comedy movie. I do like Game of Thrones which is not for everyone. Ray Donovan is a pretty good show as well. I miss the 80's when there were so many good comedies on TV compared to now when you have all these freaking reality TV garbage.
What are we talking about?
Terrorists = bad.What are we talking about?
Terrorists = bad.
Movies today are not as good as movies used to be.
Some miss their Ab-Isolators.
We pine for American Beauty but not Drew Barrymore.
Botox is bad for your looks.
Isles not good.
TV shows are better than movies.
Heather Locklear and Heather Thomas are apparently not the same person (never knew that).
Wieners.

What qualifies as an Oscar caliber picture today is not what they were like 10 or 20 years ago... Lady Bird was an atrocious version of any teen flick... Shape of Water was a bad version of Splash... I mean best movie of the year was Molly's Game followed by Big Sick and neither got nominated
LOL, Dix Hills is a trainwreck of a town must be good for creative observations, the director of the Hangover movies went there as well the head of the DNC (Wasserman), and that other movie director Mottola.
Beats going to school with Kriss Angel
Good catch - thanks.You forgot:
Steel drums can go **** themselves.

Currently, in order to win at the Academy Awards, films have to touch upon race, social (in)justice, politics, etc. IMO, I think we're trending away from awarding good films that lack political or racial undertones.
Personally, I thought all of the nominees for Best Picture were ****. Shape of Water was Beauty and the Beast to me, just in amphibious form.
You're an East Meadow guy? I'm sorry. One of my aunts graduated with Joel Rifkin, another graduated with Mrs. Bobby Nystrom. And at least 10 people I know from childhood have been arrested. That place can be a black hole.
Yep EM guy, that town is definitely a mess as well, I lived around the corner from Rifkin and a lot of future criminals in the town, but we tend to overachieve if we don't fall in the wrong crowd.
Dix Hills is a safe town, just the people there are Gold Coast wannabe's and act very snotty, live through the kids, and a lot of in town cheating for sure.
Your aunt sounds like she is older than me, Rifkin was 77 with my uncle and Mrs Nystrom was way before that. Are you from EM?

I grew up in Uniondale, lots of bad blood with EM and lots of fights back in the day. I avoided those guys. Our claim to fame was baba booey. He was funny in school.
Both sides of my family graduated EMHS, so most are probably older than you, but I may have an uncle or two around your age. My parents graduated in '79.
My Jewish friends were the EM overachievers lol. I was an EM guy until age 10 but, since then, I've been a stone's throw away in Bellmore. Still played sports in EM, and a lot of my friends growing up were from EM. I was a Catholic school kid though, which I think worked out for the best.
I know a lot of people from Suffolk who say the same thing about Dix Hills. That's funny. I don't know much about that town but, on reputation alone, it seems like a lot of people want to keep up with the Joneses and think they're on par with the wealthy folks who live in Sands Point, CSH, etc. I work on the North Shore, and a lot of these people are very competitive when it comes to material items.
The Knights, we always played you on New Year's Eve in Hoops, got my first 2 points on that floor, in garbage time in 10th grade and had to wait until 1/2 to see my name in the paper
Gary McLain was a solid player that was on the Villanova championship team in 1985. When did you graduate from Uniondale?

Peaky Blinders is a phenomenal show and each season is only 6 episodes. The British always do a great job in creating amazing programs. Quality over Quantity
