But the 1st 20 minutes of this was a good breakdown


I just came here to post this. Your first sentence is very interesting because I've never gotten that from him. Not sure if you follow his B sides channel but he defended Joe Budden from the Native Land Pod, even as an intellectual
 
Will The Oscars do to Ryan Coogler what they did to Al Pacino for Godfather Part 2 in 1975?

I'm wondering about the Oscar buzz, no the Oscars. The movie Sinners was the best movie that grew the biggest buzz all year, hands down. Tons of content creators got their YouTube Page is blown up as they investigated and deliciously picked apart all about the movie, from the Easter eggs we saw and the things we didn't see and the things we missed.

However, Hollywood loves them some Paul Thomas Anderson, even though to me his films are a wacky fever dream or boring AF. There will be blood was boring as fuck. Boogie Nights was... meh

BUT, He is the Susan Lucci of the Oscars, he's been nominated for 11 Oscars and hasn't won, AND He's 55 years old. Why the age comes into play, Ryan Coogler by comparison, is 39.

The Oscars are known for giving a lesser deserving person who's older in potentially their last shot at getting an Oscar, see Art Carney in 1975, over the younger and deserving candidate who will likely have more possibilities due to their young age.

I can't speak to anyone who's seen Art Carney in Harry and Tonto, but everyone has seen the Godfather Part 2, and Al Pacino's performance in that movie was deserving of an Oscar that he didn't get because the academy was giving what equates to a lifetime achievement Oscar to Art Carney over him because he was a beloved actor

The academy ended up having to have Al Pacino do to Denzel Washington what Art Carney did to him - Give a lifetime achievement Oscar to a much older actor when the younger actor is more deserving.

They are undoubtedly going to nominate both Paul Thomas Anderson and Ryan Coogler for best picture, and I'm wondering if the Oscars are going to pull an Art Carney on Ryan Coogler because Anderson is a beloved director/writer.

I see it coming, and the controversy that undoubtedly will follow but in this country's recent desire to be anti-DEI, which is basically anti black at the behest of the President of the United States, I don't know if the academy is going to be bold enough to give it to the most deserving candidate which is Ryan Coogler, hell for the Holy Trinity of best picture, best director director and best original screenplay.

We will find out next March or April but considering this nation's history I don't have much hope that they'll get it right

Depending on the Oscars is like depending on the local crackhead to give you your ten dollars back you let him borrow, it's a wash and so is the Oscars. My Oscars and my reward was watching the movie as for Black Excellence and the Oscars, they don't have a good track record of truly awarding Black Excellence....they are a racially finnicky bunch.

This entire paragraph is some BS. This is the entire reason for affirmative action and DEI in the first place. You are saying that blacks aren't good enough so they must be getting handouts or they are getting winning because they are black. GTOH!! (not you, GOW)

I'm saying that every time anybody black gets anything they (racist White people) say DEI.

A Black person found $10 on the ground. They say DEI.
A Black person is named the director of contracting. They say DEI.

See what I mean? It's bullshit.

Black People were Always good enough. We learned without being taught. We learned when it was illegal to even teach us. We are the forest that grew from concrete, not the rose.

I'm sorry my message left room for improper interpretation. The point I was trying to make is will The academy be bold enough to give it to the man who deserves it, Ryan Coogler, a black man, and ignore the fodder that is sure to come from racist White people claiming he only got it because of DEI.

Got it...thanks. You are 100% correct. One Battle After Another is good, but its not as good as Sinners.

Both films and filmmakers achieved unprecedented excellence.

Both will receive Academy recognition.
How that part breaks down :dunno:

Coogler is just starting out. Career wise SINNERS is his THERE WILL BE BLOOD - 5th film and a major breakout.

All of us here have one thing in common (I would think) - we want to see Coogler’s career continue uncompromised. Anderson is and has been important but if this were his last project — none of us would have a problem.

I believe that Coogler did all he needed to ensure he does have the runway he needs - and has and will continue to do all he can to widen that runway so that the filmmakers who are his equals and betters have the space they too need - to excel in the business and the craft of their profession.

Both films are a win for people of color in these terms of runway space widened.

coon-tep-ish, perhaps lol?

But truly, pandering and coonery aren’t always the same thing.

And from the little I have seen of dude - he is eager for attention. That shit will at some point be a turnoff for anyone - regardless of how much value one otherwise brings. (No one wants their P-Funk stepped on, after all)

I think he sees himself - self proclaimed - as a particular kind of hotep, right?

No not a hotep...he doesn't believe in black buying power (he is a disciple of Dr. Jared Ball). I'm going to do more research on Dr. Ball to find out why they believe this.

The Myth of Black Buying Power by Dr. Jared Ball

The second edition of this Palgrave Pivot offers a history of and proof against claims of "buying power" and the impact this myth has had on understanding media, race, class and economics in the United States. For generations Black people have been told they have what is now said to be more than one trillion dollars of "buying power," and this book argues that commentators have misused this claim largely to blame Black communities for their own poverty based on squandered economic opportunity. This book exposes the claim as both a marketing strategy and myth, while also showing how that myth functions simultaneously as a case study for propaganda and commercial media coverage of economics. In sum, while “buying power” is indeed an economic and marketing phrase applied to any number of racial, ethnic, religious, gender, age or group of consumers, it has a specific application to Black America. A new foreword by Dr. Darrick Hamilton, Henry Cohen Professor of Economics and Urban Policy at the New School (in New York, USA), and a new chapter on cryptocurrencies are included in this new edition.
