Re: New Developments III

Please just remember that at this point in 2011, everyone was predicting doom and gloom for Obama as well.

Re: Gotham Awards 2023

They have a breakthrough director category though.

Re: Gotham Awards 2023

Last I looked at their website, they didn't have a breakthrough performance category this year.

Re: Killers of the Flower Moon reviews

Meditative to the point of lethargy is how I would have described The Irishman. I'm concerned that that is sounding like an apt description for Killers to some. Since I'm not a Scorsese stan, I'm worried this will be a tough sit.

Re: The Post-Festival Landscape

Considering their advertising push for The Color Purple, I'd say it's locked into its Christmas release.

Though, if Will Rogers had lived to see this, he wouldn't call the Democrats disorganized anymore.

Re: New Developments III

Because at least far left Dems are smart enough to realize getting some of what you want is better than getting none of what you want. Reagan made a deal with the religious wing of the party and that wing enabled all the anti-cultural elements to worm their way into the Party and those people cannot...

Re: New Developments III

Pelosi is teaching Jeffries as they go, so he's getting the best tutelage. The site I read for political news suggests that Pelosi may well be one of the most consequential house speakers in history.

Re: New Developments III

If, and only if, we retain control of the Senate. It's never happened in history that each chamber flipped in opposite directions, so it would be unique, but we're defending WV and MT and I'm not sure we'll keep either or both. We also need to get rid of Kristen Sinema in order to get a functioning ...

Re: New Developments III

It would be a revolt the likes of which the country hasn't seen, but anything is possible with the deranged "Freedom caucus." None of the Biden 18 would be insulated from a primary challenge on the right, so they might still fall in line, but a vote for Trump in those districts could be fa...

Re: New Developments III

It's doubtful. The Biden 18 (the Republicans serving in Biden-won districts) won't likely go for it. It would likely mean a lost seat.

Re: New Developments III

There's a difference between Kanye West and Robert Kennedy Jr. West had no interest in actually running and didn't make much of an effort to get on ballots and do the other things candidates do. Kennedy has interest and is doing the things candidates usually do. That said, what is this Mediaite site...

Re: New Developments III

Speaking as a Missourian, the reason Akin lost is because of what he said, not for his apology. McCaskill was also a statewide election winner in the past and had pretty high name recognition. Since then, the nuts have taken over the asylum and even a good Democrat can't combat a shitty Republican h...

Re: New Developments III

Part of the tactic, the Dems may be using right now is not to jump at every indictment as being reason for expulsion. They are concerned that a Trump White House will weaponize the judiciary and file fake indictments against every Dem in a red state just to get them out and appoint a Rep replacement...

Re: Golden Globes Adds Two New Categories:

We all know it's an attempt to draw eyeballs and since the Golden Globes is a full-fledged corporation now rather than a "foreign press" association, I assume their irrelevance will be a slow burn.
