"Practice what you preach" comes to mind with his Tip #3, and it is hard to publicly humiliate an anonymous person.

Here's a tip... Pay closer attention to your own Tip #3 and take it up with the person you have the problem with, and skip the drama by ranting to everyone else.

Come on! You don't actually go out and look at a video to see if it won an Oscar before you rent it do you? Awe, that's so cute! I don't get it. I just mean that I've never agreed with the Oscars. It's all this phoney hollyweird crap. That's all. I couldn't agree more. It just pisses me off that there are so many movies and directors out there that make movies that are WAY better than this one who get no recognition at all. But I guess it is that way in everything that has to do with money and politics.

Yes I have. And I agree with.... "A movie about a woman having to choose between her loveless marriage to one man, and her passion for another (or a man having to choose between his loveless marriage to one woman and his passion for another) could also be wonderful explorations of emotions and decisions, and what they do to our lives." ...but I doubt if the movie was the exact same caliber as Brokeback Mountain, it would get 8 Oscar nominations.

So, in other words, the awards are not necessarily awarded to the BEST, but instead, the BEST hyped. That is what I am seeing. Which, for me, sure tarnishes the Oscars as a whole.

I just didn't see anything THAT well-crafted or amazing about it. I mean I understand the social signifigance of the homosexual issue and that the movie uses this as a way to call attention to it, but to me, it seems that it is getting WAY too much recognition for everything under the sun in filmmaking and acting simply because of that issue. I applaud the effort of the director to break ground in new ways, but shouldn't a movie be awarded for being a movie and not simply what it is about? Personally, I think if this was the same movie about a heterosexual couple, the acting, directing, filmmaking, and producing would not have received a third of these nominations even if they were all the same quality.
-
Why is everyone so glad this movie is getting recognition? Is there something special about it? Personally, I don't see it.

So what do we do? A "Boston Tea Party?"
-
Sure, but I didn't mean in a sense that I didn't understand what they are doing. I don't understand how they are allowed to make a 36 billion dollar profit and set all time records for profits when everyone else has to pay more so they can do it. It doesn't even seem legal to me.

Exxon Mobil just posted an all-time record for U.S. companies with a $10.71 billion profit for the fourth quarter and a $36.13 billion profit for the year. And yet, gas prices continue to rise and consumers continue to pay through the nose. Exxon Mobil only lost 1 percent of it's production due to hurricanes and has obviously not suffered any loss. What they have done is take advantage of a disaster to fictitiously create a fuel shortage and production loss to post the highest profit for their company ever. Now, I was under the assumption that it was illeagal to price gouge and I have heard of businesses being sued or fined because they do it, so why is Exxon allowed to do this so publicly with absolutely no repercussions? Oil prices are down, fuel oil and natural gas demand is down due to warm temperatures, and production is right on track. So why is the consumer still paying more while Exxon gets rich? A $36 BILLION profit???? What am I missing here?
