@chicksintheoffice Shame on the Academy!!
Vertigo, The Fly, The Big Country, The Defiant Ones, High School Confidential, The Horror of Dracula, Louis Malle’s Elevator to the Gallows, A Night to Remember, Touch of Evil, The Vikings, The Young Lions…what else?
HE decided a couple of days ago that Deepseek, a Chinese AI startup, was the most thorough and dependable of the bunch, including Claude.

I sympathize with wanting to tell Trump to shove it, but they’re slitting the Academy’s (and indirectly Hollywood’s) own throat by celebrating a far-fetched, bordering-on-ludicrous, trans-identity musical that 75% of the Joe and Jane Popcorn RT community doesn’t care for very much, and which is pretty much hated in Mexico.

“The Academy has to wake up, smell the coffee and stop giving Oscars to woke instructionals that celebrate this or that identity cause. Joe and Jane have have had it up to here with this crap. Anora, A Complete Unknown, Conclave…step back from the insanity brink and embrace the crafty good stuff that is blessedly free of ideology. Okay, two out of three.”
