Tying this thread and the odd band name one together, I've met the guys in the skate punk band Jodie Foster's Army.

 
Well if we're going there, I once annoyed Jodi Foster by interrupting a film shoot on Jane Street in the West Village because I refused to stop whistling as I walked by. Screw you Foster, I had a riff going.

Star Wars .....    ...... Was it entertaining? Sure.....   ...

Isn't that all that matters?  It's not a technical documentary about the perils of space flight in an alien galaxy.  It's meant to be entertainment.
So if it entertains, then it's fulfilled its porpoise and deserves an Oscar...

If being entertaining is the only credential, then Cheech & Chong deserve Academy Award for their movies in my eyes. Along with many other types of movies I find entertaining but not deserved of this special honor.

Is there an actual attempt going on to organize an Oscar boycott? Guess I am out of the loop.

 
It must be successful, then. 
 
Like the boycott against Rainbow Oreo cookies. It's working, at least for me.
 

I tend to boycott pretentious people.  Saves a lot of time that would be wasted on individual boycotts.

Hard to boycott what i don't watch. Award shows have always been BS.

I always watch the Oscars and cling to the hope that I'll be watching when the over paid turn on themselves in a petulant outburst. How can you take it seriously.

I haven't watched in years, well never really unless you count when I was a captive audience as a child.
 
Ya, some people are upset be cause the movie "Straight Outta Compton" didn't get any nominations. Apparently no one in the "academy" wanted to go see it because of some song about killing cops and something else I don't remember... it was in the background and I wasn't really listening.
Jada Smith is upset and not going because Will didn't get nominated for his performance in "Concussion".
It is obvious, the Academy is RACIST and they need diversity training... I bet they will take that well. You tell them, I'm not going there! Let Sean Penn tell them!
 
Perhaps they should present some "Participation Oscars", that should make everyone happy.

Sean Penn!!! Hahaha!

Boycotting the Oscars seems a good cause, I think.....but can I ask exactly why we are boycotting them??
Anyway as I don't ever watch the Oscars, this year I am GOING to watch the Oscars, but then I won't as I will be boycotting them..........emmm did that make sense?????

It's just my poor attempt at a joke. A few actors and directors are boycotting because there wasn't any black people nominated. I've seen a bunch of these movies, and I don't think any of them deserved to be myself. Creed was better than I was expecting, but was it Oscar worthy? No it wasn't. Will Smith made a football movie no one cared to see...was it Oscar worthy? I have no idea. Didn't care to see it. Anyway that's what the joke is about. I think we can all agree that getting that getting trophies for making movies or music is pretty stupid either way.
