I'm glad Moonlight won Best Picture because....

[usmbguest5318]

....it's a film, apparently a very fine one, that was made for ~$1M.

Now why does that factor into why I'm glad it won?

• Because it indicates demonstratively that there are very talented and capable performers, directors, editors, etc. besides the ones whose names we recognize and who command multi-million dollar salaries. That indicates to me that "high dollar" stars may now find themselves having to accept lower wages, which in turn may mean more slowly increasing theater ticket prices and Blu-Ray disc prices. I think that's a good thing.

Who even goes to the movies anymore?

For about any Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie movie, I will go to the movies.

But a whole slew of queer Negro actors, heck no.

I said today one reasons republicans hate movie stars is they are highly paid workers. Republicans hate highly paid workers.

Those places are nasty. I have even read they are infested with bedbugs! Yuck.

Could you repeat that in English, please?

Hill Street Blues.

Not too many black homosexual actors, sorry.

Anywhere there are Indians (from India) there are likely to be bedbugs.

This infestation comes from there in their bedding and clothing that they bring with them.

If you change your clothing every day and wash the old in hot water you should be able to kill the bedbugs.

It is no worse than a flea or tick infestation if you treat it right.

Use carpet sprays in your home too.

Most black males are bi if not out and out gay themselves.

It's a black thing. Also a Mexican thing.

You are incorrect. I have studied bedbugs at length. The only thing that will kill a bedbug is prolonged sustained heat at 135 degrees and above! They are nasty but do not carry disease. Fleas and ticks carry disease!
