but not like we used to years ago. We used to have parties. Once that didn't work out well because I friends were cheering for
a movie we didn't like. But the food was good. Then I used to invite my daughter over. But now it doesn't seem like something to celebrate anymore.
Last year there was "Zero Dark Thirty" a propaganda movie about extrajudicial killing?

Today "American Sniper?" I have not seen one good review. Rotten Tomatoes had it at 27% The books on which it is based have been trashed.

The only movie I have seen was The Grand Budapest Hotel which is more of a comedy/farce. It was entertaining though. I found the Guardian has the best articles on the Oscars. Here's a really funny one of "50 Shades of Grey." Did you know that Eastwood used plastic dolls for the baby? and apparently it is very obvious.

Oscars 2015 predictions: our final tips on who will win tonight's awards
This is the big one. After all the huffing and puffing, red-carpet showboating and shameless campaigning, after all the visits to obscure craft guilds and far-flung film festivals to scrape up extra votes, it’s time for the show. The 87th Academy awards may make or break careers, could thrust unknowns into the spotlight, or turn the previously-tolerated into the outright-ridiculed. The gargantuan, four-hour telecast has become a masterclass in product placement, Twitter-friendly stunts, and dead-eyed bonhomie; that, of course, is what makes it a great watch.

Plus, there’s one or two gongs to be dished out. This year has been particularly interesting with regard to the internal politics of the film industry, with American Sniper replacing Selma as the film that’s benefitting from real-world engagement, the most heavily campaigned movies – The Imitation Game, Wild, Foxcatcher – fading at the last, and the advance of what passes in Hollywood for avant-garde cinema – Boyhood, Birdman, Grand Budapest – sucking most of the awards oxygen their way.

Are links to these two places on the to do list? You guys have done such a great job on the site, it would be a good way to help promote it.

Dailykos’s Cover-Up of Obama’s Ukrainian Atrocities

Generally speaking, the falsely-called ‘liberal’ (some even call it ‘progressive’) website dailykos (founded and owned by the ‘formerly’ far-right Markos Moulitsas Zuniga) has ignored President Barack Obama’s coup a year ago in Ukraine, which violently overthrew that country’s unpopular but democratically elected President and replaced him with a racist-fascist (i.e., ideologically nazi) anti-Russian regime. It’s a regime that quickly set to work on a euphemistically called ‘Anti Terrorist Operation’ in its far-eastern region Donbass, where the voters had voted 90% for the very same man whom Obama’s State Department and CIA had just overthrown — an ‘Anti Terrorist Operation’ that kills its ‘Terrorists’ (i.e., the residents there) en-masse by firebombing, cluster-bombing, and shelling, the cities, towns, and villages, throughout the region. If those people survive and vote in future Ukrainian national elections, the nazi regime that Obama installed will be voted out of power; Obama’s 2014 Ukrainian coup will have been for naught. This is why he demands extermination, doesn’t object to it at all.

(NOTE: I request here that anyone who disagrees with anything in that paragraph, please first click onto the link or links to what’s being objected to in it, and check out that cited evidence there, before posting a reader-comment objecting to what is already shown in those links to be the case. And, if a person still questions whether Obama perpetrated a coup in Ukraine last year, then additional citations that should be checked out, before posting a reader-comment objecting to it, are: this and this and this and this. Disagreements should be on the facts, nothing else. Thanks for considering that.)

Here are typical examples of how this ‘liberal’ (or even some fools call it ‘progressive’) site, dailykos, has ‘reported’ on these events during the past year. (And, please consider that all of these articles were published after the U.S. President whom that site supports had already installed in Ukraine, via a violent coup, an outright exterminationist nazi regime; and, that this is supposed to be a ‘liberal,’ or even ‘progressive,’ ‘news’ site — this site that hides its hero’s nazism, is supposed to be taken as being instead liberal, or even progressive.)
