I can understand forgetting my keys but my pants what was I dreaming? Seriously am I cartoon character? Didn’t I feel the breeze before I actually walked out the door? It’s logical that with the mind I’m still carrying(G-D willing for a lifetime) that this shouldn’t be possible. So why didn’t I wake up and smell the pillow case instead?
The Oscars have been redeemed in my reel as “Green Book” has won best picture. A film that had deep artistic value and still was entertaining to the viewer unlike many of the competitors. “Green Book” also dealt with the issue of racial injustice in a way that all sides could relate to and come together to fight against. In truth the Oscars pretty much got it all right.
I’m angry and don’t you dare tell me you don’t know why !! You really don’t know why…really? Well let’s just say I expected you to have my back not stab me in it! You have a right to an opinion but not when others take your side instead of mine…Ok? I don’t care whether you and the Vatican belief you’re right you’re supposed to be my friend and supporter not just some guy with a White Hat anyway! Well next time think before you speak or at least wait till I leave the room.
FOOTNOTE- You may deny this is the case but tell that to our emotions.
And the winner of the best picture of 2019 goes to “The Green Book”!! Here (below) is how I determined that this is how the Academy will vote. In the end if it goes this way I’ll be happy because Green Book is actually a great movie.
GREEN BOOK
++ ART- The film is very well made and enjoyable to watch (oops they don’t care about enjoyment)
++ TOUCHING- If this film doesn’t touch you then you might have to go to the ER
+ POLITICS- It is a politically correct film with a bit of homosexuality and white guilt added.
+ AFFIRMATIVE ACTION- The main star is African American
BOHEMEMIAN RHAPSODY
++ ART- The film is very well made yet less enjoyable to watch then the Green Book (oops they don’t care about enjoyment). Great Cinematography is it’s best element.
+ POLITICS- It is a politically correct film with a whole lot of homosexuality and the subject of AIDS.
– AFFIRMATIVE ACTION- No major African American’s in the cast
BLACK PANTHER
+ ART- The film is a typical super hero film which are generally incredible cinematographic achievements but this genre is typically ignored. Character Development is the best element in this film.
+ POLITICS- It is a politically correct film with many African American’s playing key roles in the film and with the history of Oscars segregation this was the real reason it was nominated. Yet we can’t ignore the message of the evil wall/isolation as another factor in it’s selection.
+ AFFIRMATIVE ACTION- Gets an A+++++
BLACKKkKlansman
+ART- The film is a typical Spike Lee film project which should receive the same accolades and nothing more.
+ POLITICS- If the Academy will base their decision on which film will insult the most Trump supporters this will win hands down. As it prejudices these individuals whether they be African American, Jewish, Hispanic or even White as deep down supporters of the KKK.
+ AFFIRMATIVE ACTION- The main stars are African American and Jewish. Oh I forget they don’t count people from my tribe.
ROMA
+++ ART- The film is very artistic but so is looking at paint dry on the wall.
+ POLITICS- It is a politically correct film with Hispanics playing a bigger part then ever before.
+ AFFIRMATIVE ACTION- The film is subtitled in English with Spanish spoken here.
A STAR IS BORN
ART- The film is adequate but not exceptional in any of the aspects of film-making. It also is the least entertaining of any of the films in this category.
+ POLITICS- Transgender individuals have a back up roll in this film.
+ AFFIRMATIVE ACTION- Didn’t make the cut.
VICE- Sorry didn’t see as of yet.
POLITICS– Anti- Bush films are so retro I can’t imagine it being selected.
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION- Too many old white male characters to be acceptable to the white guilty academy.
THE FAVOURITE- Didn’t see as well but not my favorite to win.
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION – Duplicate of Vice but even whiter.
I remember Mrs Hyde where we didn’t walk over eggshells but ran over them. Times when one word, look or I honestly don’t know what would set off a 5 alarm fire for everyone to see. No person was safe from such explosions and many a friend was lost forever at least in the level of trust. These moments although years ago are still vivid in my mind and I’ll do whatever I can to make sure that they never come alive again. That is why when you say you don’t want to see the “Super- Man” who changed our life because he said things that bothered you; that I’m truly ready to bend steel to make sure that doesn’t occur. Peace is one of the most beautiful things when one has seen war and I will fight to see that it stays in our life.
She said “NO” and it felt as if she aimed it at my heart! For the word cut through any discussion that might have occurred leaving my thoughts dead. The silence was deafening as I wondered what caused her to act in such a violent way. For today words are action and that is why I lay on the ground as if the knife has truly penetrated my heart with that one word “NO”!

A TRUE STORY ….. FOR MANY
It seemed like yesterday that I wore my leftist colors with pride for standing up for those least among us, oh how times have changed. Where we stood for a women’s right to choose their lifestyle, now we choose for their right to kill the least among us even as they individuals try and breathe their 1st breathe. I believed in a party that stood for the rights of the workers in our factories now backs deals that close these factories forever with over-regulations and bad trade deals. It was a leftist agenda that stood against government tyranny now is know where to be found when it comes to one’s supposedly based on socialist agenda’s but only allow those connected to rise. There was such a time when my leftist community supported freedom of speech for everyone now it is subject to words that have been blacklisted. A time where our movement truly stood for innocent before proven guilty is now judge and jury before even a trial begins. There was a time when this blog post would be far from true but today it is a true story.
I tried to move my lips but only one word escaped “THE”!! Incapacitated by the sight and sound my mind froze with fear which gripped my very soul. There was no way out! No word which could free me from the terror that held me to “THE” and though I sort some type of warmth I knew that this word would be the last I would utter.
Roma has the feel of an NYU Film school project rather then something worthy of an Academy Award. Yes, all the right colors are on the wall but there isn’t much to look at. For it’s artistic with symbolic images all over the place that one can think about over time yet during the screening one wonders why? Many a scene goes know-where and an ending that says “is that it”? NYU would be proud I’m just not sure the Academy should feel the same way.
***- An extra star was given for it’s artistic imagery.
