The Shape of Water wins Best Picture. I hated that movie. “Another case of an Oscar-nominated movie being a mélange of lessons about racism and how fortunate we are not to live in the hate-filled time of 1962.”
Gary Oldman wins Best Actor for playing Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour. I thought it was massive overacting. “Oldman plays Churchill the way William Shatner played James T. Kirk, and no one would ever think of giving William Shatner an award for great acting.”

There should be two Best Picture awards given out each year. One for pictures set between 1958 and 1982, and the other for anything else.
It’s not fair. Anything in the former category has the advantage of being able to make big statements about racism/sexism/Vietman/whatever. Films set today can’t be about that. Some girl from Sacramento has tough decisions to make about college in 2002? Big damn deal. A woman in 1962 was barred from the good schools.

njguy,
I don’t think it is that simple. Lots of women weren’t interested in going to any college. Many were happy just to marry within their own social class. So, that means those who women who did attend were more often the nerdy studious types. However, men of that social class pretty much had to go because their families expected it and they definitely didn’t want to be disinherited black sheep. It was a different dynamic.

“Empires are horrible for their nations of origin because ethics built on multiculturalism take over for any originating national purpose”
That’s very well put. Diversity and tolerance started off being a means to an end, and somewhere along the line morphed into the end in itself, because without a specific culture, history and shared character there can’t be a sense of shared destiny, nothing to preserve, and no agreed point to progress towards, other than even greater feats of diversity and more mind-bending examples of tolerance. What will liberals make films about when the Diversity Singularity is reached? ‘Well, all the things we are passionate about!’ And what are they? ‘Erm…we’ll think of something when we get there!’

The empire was bad for native Romans. The native Romans served as the backbone of the army that expanded the empire initially. Then the native Romans lost their landholdings and livelihoods as the lands were centralized into latifundiae owned by wealthy oligarchs, who then imported cheap labor from the empire to work it. The army also came to rely on immigrant soldiers. Same old story.

>>Because the Romans were such losers.

The Roman empire was not run for the benefit of the Roman citizen. The main cause of the social wars, precipitated by the assassination of the Gracchi brothers was the enslavement of many Roman citizens, often war heroes, due to ruinous taxation and the debt that ensued when the Roman could not pay the taxes. Taxation brought on by imperial overreach. Once the citizenship was extended to many (and eventually any) freeborn male, there was no pride of place in being an Italian, Latin or even Roman. Rome by the time of Caesar (even earlier) and going forward was truly a multinational enterprise. The only thing you got out of being an old Roman was pride in pedigree and subsides for games, urban amenities, architecture and sustenance. And, of course, with the rise of imperial overreach, the Romans said goodbye to the limited, Republican-Democratic form of government that they had maintained for centuries.

The empire was bad for native Romans.
The Empire was often highly beneficial for average citizens, at least as beneficial as any alternative form of government.
The annexation of Egypt by Rome ensured Roman citizens had access to most fertile source of wheat in the world, the Nile. Secure and abundant bread was one of the greatest benefits any ancient citizenry of the age could ask for.
The main cause of the social wars, precipitated by the assassination of the Gracchi brothers was the enslavement of many Roman citizens, often war heroes, due to ruinous taxation and the debt that ensued when the Roman could not pay the taxes.
Not uncommon for their era.
The Roman Republic was as militarily aggressive as the Empire. Ditto Sparta and Athens.
Isolationist republics or democracies have simply never existed unless they are very small principalities like Andorra that are completely at the mercy of their more powerful neighbors.

There was no imperial “overreach”.
Roman expansion stopped during the Empire, not the Republic. Arguably the Republic expanded more aggressively than the Empire. Afterwards their military adventurism was limited to border wars and suppressing internal rebellion.

One of the things that i hate about our current political climate is that it has to make everything about liberal obsessions. There is no such thing as art for art’s sake any more. Every film or painting has to be about racism or sexism, every interview with the artist has to do with their privilige or their observations about how hard it was for them as an oppressed minority, and about how things are better now but there is still a long way to go. Likewise, sports reports once upon a time used to feature interviews with footballers or cricketers talking about the game they’d been involved in. Today it is a female footballer or cricketer talking about how much progress there has been in the sport; that things are better now but there is still a long way to go.
Back in the bad old days when we were all sexist or racist, not every Oscars had to be about virtue signalling your opposition to intergrated classrooms or or keeping women in the kitchen ( I realise Hollywood has always been liberal, I’m being sarcastic) People were able to get on with their lives without the governing ideology intruding itself into their every thought and activity.

I feel like the situation in Syria is becoming a 1967 redux.
Ever since Syria’s defeat by Israel in 1982, the Arab/Islamic world has feared a direct military confrontation with Israel, preferring instead to use terrorism and paramilitary means. This made sense because with the disappearance of their Soviet patron there was no longer any remotely plausible way for any Arab/Islamic state to challenge Israel on the battlefield, and besides, Sadat and Arafat had shown that it was possible to get huge concessions from Israel without firing a shot.
But in 2018 the diplomatic path to destroying Israel is no longer relevant, as demographics have permanently destroyed the Israeli Left and the West has lost interest in the conflict. More importantly, Russia has returned to the world stage and is committed to providing Syria and Iran with all their war fighting needs.
Syria, Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas are not like Sadat or even Nasser: rather they are true believers who don’t just want to destroy Israel (all Arabs and Muslims want this) but also are deluded enough to believe that they can pull it off.
In 1967, Israel didn’t want war and in fact tried to avoid it. But the Arabs kept pushing and pushing and finally war broke out.
It is not entirely clear that Iran and Syria want war with Israel within the next 5 years, but one thing has become increasingly clear: they are not intimidated. Israel keeps telling them “don’t do this” and then Syria/Iran proceed to do just that. This is not just them calling Israel’s bluff, it’s because they are so confident now that they have won the Syrian civil war that if Israel does attack them, they think that they will win.
The war will probably start with some type of Hezbollah attack, maybe a kidnapping, that causes a massive Israeli response. The IDF plans for an invasion of Lebanon are no secret: ethnically cleanse the civilian population of Southern Lebanon and then send infantry in to manually clear out Hezbollah’s labyrinth of bunkers. While the IDF is doing that, Northern Israel is going be under a massive rocket assault, the largest and most sustained in military history. Hamas will likewise launch a missile offensive from Gaza which will ultimately cause Israel to reoccupy the region.
2 or 3 weeks into the war, it will become clear that Hezbollah is losing. Iran and Syria simply cannot allow Hezbollah to be destroyed, so they will attack Israel directly on the Golan (with rockets, not troops). Russia cannot afford for Syria and Iran to be destroyed, so they will secure Syrian airspace from Israeli air attack, which will force an Israeli ground invasion.
Here is where things get really tricky: can Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Turkey and Saudi Arabia stay on the sidelines while Hezbollah, Syria and Iran are taking it to the hated Zionist enemy? I don’t think they can.
The United States and Russia are going to want to stop this war as quickly as they can, but as long as Syria and Iran refuse to deal I’m not sure they will have much success. Syria and Iran will demand that the refugees from Southern Lebanon be allowed back to their homes (so that Hezbollah can be rebuilt) and that Israel withdrawal to the 1973 cease fire lines on the Golan and Israel will refuse until it can have security guarantees.
This has the potential to get really ugly.

I said that if the war goes on for 2 or 3 weeks it will hurt Israel’s economy badly. They can’t afford a long war. The 73 war went on for a couple of months & nearly destroyed Israel’s economy but the US saved it. And things were different then. Israel didn’t have a globalized economy. It does now. They can’t afford a 3 week war – unless the war is fought by specialized units.

Any rocket fire will be suppressed quickly by the Israelis and any remaining forces Iran and Syria send directly to the Lebanon-Golan theater will be destroyed easily.
Russia will do nothing because they only have a small expeditionary force in the region that would also lose against Israel and because Russia is otherwise getting a good deal from Trump regarding sanctions for occupying Crimea.

Interesting. But I just found out that I may be related to a guido we can’t love. I’m talking about Joe Giudice, the husband of Teresa Giudice of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” Both she and her husband have been in prison for fraud – in addition to causing a lot of anger among IAs for projecting a low-class Italian image on the show. I was just looking at a chart of my family’s history. It turns out that my Sicilian grandfather had a great-grandmother with the last name “Giudice.” And “Giudice” isn’t such a common name like “Esposito” or “Romano.” And only about 1,000 people across America have this last name. So there’s a good chance that I could be at least distantly related to this famous guido.
Of course I could be distantly related to a lot of people – including Lion (I would hope he’d consider this good news: I would!) or JS (it would explain our love-hate internet relationship), or even David Alexander (Africa isn’t very far geographically from Sicily, you never know) or Yakov (I’d be honored) or someone else who after hearing the bad news that he’s related to me would have to “driveallnight” to deal with the bad news!

Lion, please write about the Italian elections. They are driving the elites/NY Slimes crazy. The NY Times thinks Salvini won because of healthcare! They are quoting tweeters who think Putin stole the Italian election! BTW Salvini had something clever to say about Putin. Paraphrasing, he said that Putin didn’t pay for him. He admires Putin, and Putin has his admiration “for free.”

I lost all respect for the Oscars last year when they failed to give one to Deadpool. Just kidding. I never respected them. But, seriously, Deadpool was awesome.
