I can't imagine reviewing green book as terrific (Which obviously was) and staging yourself for a BlackTrump'sracist movie next (after not learning a thing from the previous movie). Very amazing mindset heading into that one.

Not surprised KSUW thinks that nominating Black Panther for BP was racist.

He's talking about watching blackkklansman next, right?

Both have racial settings. Sounds like he enjoyed one and he's already going into the other with a "they're out to get the white man" mindset on the second one. Probably because of who made the movie I'd assume. Doesn't sound like he got the message from the first one tho.  :frown:

I imagine kdub takes a "out to get the white man" approach to all media, it's what makes his reviews so entertaining.

I’m referring to Spike’s not-so-subtle call-outs to Trump supposedly peppered throughout the movie. I thought that was a pretty obvious reference. His predictable idiotic sermonizing aside, I’m betting it’s a pretty entertaining movie.

I kind of felt like it was, honestly. It's a little bit ridiculous for a comic book movie to be nominated in the first place, but Black Panther was the third best comic book movie of 2018. Spiderverse and Avengers were both better.

Black Panther was also like the top grossing Marvel movie ever (even more than Infinity War if I’m googling correctly), which could have been a factor. I mean I didn’t think it was great either but I know a ton of people who did.

Or maybe you’re right and they just wanted black people to feel good.

Looking at the other nominees, I just don't believe revenue is supposed to be a factor in what gets nominated.

i'm still furious that the fate of the furious didn't get nominated for BP in 2017, it was the 2nd highest grossing movie of the year

Infinity war for real should have been nominated, it's a very good film.

Do I need to watch the previous ones to enjoy this flick? I liked Iron man 1 and 2, both Deadpool's, and BP, but that's about my extent on comic book movies.

Well that and all the batman's and original Spiderman's. I still don't know who Thanos(?) is or understand the meme's :carl:

Not really, I've only seen a handful of the marvel movies. The other movies probably provide a deeper background, but for the most part they'll provide a line or two of dialog to get people caught up.

But blackness is? My point is there is a much simpler explanation on the table than racism. The Academy even tried to include a “popular film” category in 2018 for crying out loud.

You don't have to but it would certainly help, you won't understand why the hulk takes a hiatus considering he had been stuck in hulk form for like 3 years. and idk if you will understand what happened to thors eye, or why loki is so significant. It's very good and it will certainly set up the drama for endgame.

Yes, they've been trying to get more widely successful movies into the best picture nominees. That's been a goal for the past few years.

I also don’t at all doubt that having a majority black cast and leadership were also factors in determining that black panther was "groundbreaking" in the blockbuster action category. People that say it was only nominated in a patronizing manner miss that point I think. I thought overall it was meh, but lots of people didn't. I went to the ward pkwy target on Halloween and 75% of the little black boys (and quite a few little white boys too) there trick or treating were dressed as black panther.  That made me think about the film and in different terms, more of an acknowledgement of an achievement.

Of course infinity war was also a pretty groundbreaking achievement for tying 10 years of work over 20+ films together flawlessly. It's very impressive.

It’s a decent movie even if you haven’t seen many of the MCU movies, but you’ll enjoy it more if you have. You can skip Thor 1 and Hulk and Iron Man 2 and 3 for sure. I’d at least watch Guardians 1 and 2, Thor Ragnorak, the Captain America movies, and the prior Avengers movies, which are all pretty good.

I agree, but that’s my point. Honoring a mediocre movie because it’s “important to black people” is patronizing and a form of racism. The movie isn’t complete trash - it definitely has some entertaining scenes and characters - but overall it’s too long and too dull. It was not worthy of a best picture nomination by any stretch. And even from a standpoint of cultural significance, I think it will fade quicker than people think.

Most best picture nominees fade from cultural significance quickly, black panther will be around much longer (mostly due to commercial success  ocsar bait generally does not garner).

Also boiling my post down to "it's important to black people" really shows the level of prejudice you have going into the subject.

Guys, lets not pit-up the movie thread too much.

I know this is OT ITT, but I noticed that I use the GE term "pit=up or just pit" at the office.  When some of the guys are talking/arguing and somebody comes by and asks what they're doing.  I just them him/her that they are pitting it up again.
