Is Get Out the first horror/thriller movie to be nominated for best picture?

Nah. Depends on your definition I guess. Jaws, Silence of the Lambs, and some old Hitchcock movies.

7. If you break any terms of this agreement, the genie will confiscate all of your current assets, save for $5000 cash and whatever personal items you can fit into two suitcases (and the personal items can in no case exceed $5000 in value). Good luck!

8. There are really no loopholes here. If you think you are clever and know a loophole to scam the genie, you are wrong, and the genie will punish you severely for trying.

I'll take the deal, give all the money to someone, then break the deal, just to see them suffer.


You're not that clever, are you?

What part of the genie taking your stuff is unclear? If you give it away, it isn't yours anymore, and the genie does fuck all to that person. Meanwhile, he comes back and invents new and insidious ways to fuck you over for trying to be a douche.

Ok cool. So then I can live in that person's house forever and never have to work and can go on free vacations for life.


It's that person's house, so you can only do all that if they allow it. If you want to risk putting that kind of trust in them, go for it.


Confirmed to not be a loophole by OP

Loving Vincent got nominated though, so that's cool.


Well they do always have to go with at least one artsy foreign animated film that nobody has heard of.

That said it looks cool as shit and I wanna know what I gotta do to watch it.

I heard literally every frame is its own oil painting, though that seems almost impossible....

It's not new paintings in the sense that they start from scratch on a different canvas. The movie is like a living painting. As the frames move, you can see the brush strokes painting over top of the stuff. It's quite a watch.

no, i don't think theres any amount of money that would make me agree to that

All the loopholes were stated by OP.

You give all the money to a close family member. Immediately welch on the deal. Then your family member asks you where they should build their 'vacation home', and you say Paris or Rome or whatever. You live in their 'vacation home', and do whatever you want with 'their' money.

A Fantastic Woman will win best Foreign Language Film, just based on the name. Most of the voters won't have seen any of them.


I mean, it's easily the standout choice there. It's easy to blame 'politics' if you're literally offended by the idea of a movie about a woman winning an award, even when it's the standout choice in its category completely independent of that fact...

I'm not talking about my opinion. You saw the Golden Globes, right?

Also Three Billboards looking like it will be the worst best picture winner since Crash. Hoping the Shape of Water can pull the upset.

Dunkirk and The Shape of Water are the only two that can even win Best Picture. You have to be nominated for Best Director and Best Film Editing to have a shot, and those were the only two. There have been rare exceptions to this rule. The last 5 times it happened was Birdman for Film Editing in 2014, Argo for Director in 2012, Driving Miss Daisy for Director in 1989, Ordinary People for Film Editing in 1980, and Annie Hall for Film Editing in 1977.

The fact that you call her that basically means I should disregard any and all opinions from you.


Cute. Stick your head in the sand when someone makes fun of a shitty character. I took the name from Sargon of Akkad's review and thought it was bloody hilarious.

I don't understand the name. Because she has purple hair? Her personality doesn't really match what you said.

Psycho does still fit the question, though not in the way most people replied. I've watched Psycho with so many people who all knew of the shower scene, but didn't know any context to the movie. And every single person was surprised that the shower scene kill took place halfway into the movie. They were all like "Wait what? Is the movie already over? Is she still alive? She's the main character." Psycho is a unique case where that twist worked back in its day for how it was meant, and still today for people who even know about the scene because they just don't know the context, so it gets them again!

Gaming is typically a social experience. Would you say that it's pointless to watch movies in a group, when you could have watched the same movie individually?

Movies are absolutely pointless to watch with people unless it's a comedy where laughter is contagious. I will say that co-op games are fine if it's meant to be a comedy/drinking game. But none have been posted here thus far.

I've never understood the appeal of co-op boardgames. It usually just devolves into 1 or 2 people barking out what they think is best, often not even asking for input. And it's justified, because it's always the right choice; it just makes the game not very fun. All the ones I've ever played usually are basically single player games, in that one person could essentially do all the turns.

Thats just a problem with the people you're playing with

But when it's co-op, the point is to work together. So people try to help. But the flaw in co-op board games is that discussion is the game, so it takes the personal aspect out of playing your turn. Someone starts a turn and another player is like "it would make sense to do ____", and they are right. So that person does that; it's what they would have done anyway, but it just doesn't feel like you are even playing. It's just the down-side of a co-op board game that doesn't have any physical/dexterity skill based actions, or any kind of hidden information among players to make discussion more interesting (though those tend to have alternate win conditions that defeat the point of co-op when you can beat the other players).

It all comes down to the fact that a mutliplayer game that can essentially be played by a single person doesn't make for an interesting game for the whole group. All the extra players are just filler. Games need to have a reason to be co-op, and boardgames haven't found a good way to implement it.

no, but I would only say my catch phrase if I did

I mean, in Die Hard the line was a reference to a thing that Hans had said to him earlier, so it made sense in context.

It had no connection to the bad guys in this movie, so it seems like a weird thing to say unless he's aware that there's an audience of people waiting to hear him say it. He should have come up with a new personalized quip for those guys.

That's why he said Mr. Falcon instead, because he was trying to fly away.
