Soft Power: Chris Matthews' Go-To Time Waster Howard Finemann Claims The Oscars Are Just As Powerful as Putin
— Ace

I know some folks in the Ukraine who might disagree with this assessment.


Apparently some people told Finemann he was a dumbass.


In the more noted Oscars story, Matthew McConaughey gave an acceptance speech that was by turns humble and interesting.


I'm not sure if I fully understand his idea that his hero is the self he wishes to be (but never will be) ten years from now, but it's an interesting idea. And of course he thanked his God and parents quite a bit, only mentioning three people from the film he won for, rather than the usual litany of accountants, agents, business managers.

"First off I want to thank God, because that's who I look up to. He's graced my life with opportunities that I know are not of my hand or any other human hand," the 44-year-old Texas native said. "He has shown me that it's a scientific fact that gratitude reciprocates. In the words of the late (British actor) Charlie Laughton, who said, 'When you got God you got a friend and that friend is you.'"

...

"To my father, I know he's up there right now with a big pot of gumbo, he's got a lemon meringue pie, he's probably up there in his underwear, he's got a cold can of Miller lite and he's dancing right now," he continued. "To my dad, you taught me what it means to be a man, to my mother, who's here tonight, you taught me and my two brothers, demanded, that we respect ourselves. What we in turn learned was, we were then better able to respect others."

The self-appointed Agents of Tolerance of course turned to their favorite past time of XXXtreme Tolerance:

"OK so you really deserved it McConaughey. Just stop the stupid god talk," tweeted one observer, as others concurred.

"I thought we could get through the Oscars without someone thanking god but no he had to ruin it. F**k you McConaughey."

Incidentally, it has been bruited about that he didn't win for Dallas Buyer's Club per se, but for his entire year of work, which many people are saying is the best year for an actor in quite a long time. And included in that year's work is of course the show which everyone in Hollywood is watching, True Detective.*

By the way, I don't love him in True Detective the way many do. He's good; don't get me wrong. But he's giving a very mannered, "Actorey" sort of performance, giving Rust too many Big Tics. I'm always a little put off by acting that insists upon itself.

If I see Rust describe facial scars with that hammy gesture around the jaw one more time, I'll hunt McConaughey down, put antlers on him, and pose him in a sugarcane field.

* Hm, we all know that actors will do whatever is necessary to win an Oscar.

Starring in a well-written TV show running on HBO or Netflix or etc. during Oscar voting season might turn out to be a go-to trick for securing an Oscar win for a film.

That is, we might see other theatrical performers not just willing but eager to be on something a lot of people will be watching as they fill out their Oscar ballots.

26 Except for the acceptance speeches, which were heartfelt, the whole show was a deeply reactionary bore. The focus on slavery and unions and AIDS, and of course racismracismracism, was like a warmed over bowl of really old oatmeal. I felt like it was 1972 all over again.

28 I'm kind of perplexed by all the God hating from some. We see it every time it's mentioned in an acceptance speech or after a sporting event. I get some people may not like that person and view it as a hypocritical statement because of past actions, but it seems to go beyond that. It's come to down right anger against certain people for no good reason.

29 Didn't see any of the films except Frozen.... That being said i did some research on the top grossing films of 2013 and the top money maker was Iron Man 3. The top ten included Frozen ,Monster University and Despicable Me. The only "nominated" film in the top 10 was gravity.... None of the rest showed up at all in the top movies... Says something about Hollywood and the films they "honor" and the films most people go to see...

Look, Jennifer Lawrence won her Oscar for Hunger Games but the Academy couldn't really give it to her for that, so, hey thank God she made that other Oscar bait movie so we'll give it to her for that instead. I disagree with you on McConaughey's acting in True Detective because for me it's shockingly good. Of course, Woody's is as good if not better and isn't getting the same attention because what he's doing is quieter but no less difficult. That being said, I can totally see where you're coming from in that criticism.

46 Matthew talking about being his own hero was odd, but the overall sentiment was good, the speech worked for me by the end. God thanked twice, by Matthew and by one of the subjects of 20 Feet from Stardom who sang during the acceptance speech, lovely.

Went to an Oscar party last night and was surprised how much I actually enjoyed the telecast. Classy, no big sucker punches, lots of decent and heartfelt speeches. A few off color jokes—I could have lived my life happily without Ellen telling a Jonah Hill penis joke—but I'm pretty sure it went over the heads of the kids I was watching with. Which, their excitement over Frozen and Idina performing was pretty much worth the whole night, hah.

I found it ironic that they had rows and rows of beautiful antique style bulbs as part of the backdrop, with all the supposedly environmentally conscious celebs there. Don't they know those are verboten and kill Gaia! But they looked pretty.

I was able to completely avoid it, thank God.   But reading some of the follow-up reporting it sounds like it was a complete and total clusterfuck.     Whose brilliant idea was it to do the "In Memoriam" segment, and THEN have Bette Midler come out and warble her way through a memorial tune, instead of doing them    at the same time?      Aren't   mind-numbing   time sinks   like that covered by the Geneva Convention?

68 *grinds my gears picture* It's not 'the Ukraine', unless you're very pro-Russia. In Russian, there's a distinction between the preposition translated 'in': на is used for regions, в is used for geopolitical entities. If you're using 'the', you're using the English analog to the first Russian form, and that's tantamount to denying that Ukraine ever should have been an independent state.

82 "I thought we could get through the Oscars without someone thanking god but no he had to ruin it. F**k you McConaughey." I love that they're finally admitting it- God "ruin" things for them. If they (that is: the militant athiest/eXtreme Tolerance! crowd) is reminded that there even might be a higher power, and that His Law is real, their happiness is suddenly ruined. There's also the little part where, if he'd gone on for 5 minutes about how awesome the LGBTQRXYZ crowd was, they'd be applauding and saying how "brave" he is.

Ugh, yes MWR. Whole sections like the pizza silliness, the Midler and Pink songs, could and should have been cut out. But Hollywood had to squeeze in moments of celebrating themselves, they can't help it, bless their hearts.

The saddest thing of the night, after the In Memoriam, was seeing how Kim Novak has totally messed up her face! She was so beautiful, is tragic the amount of plastic surgery she is now sporting. Aging gracefully is not a crime, ladystars.

116 It's not 'the Ukraine', unless you're very pro-Russia. In Russian, there's a distinction between the preposition translated 'in': на is used for regions, в is used for geopolitical entities. If you're using 'the', you're using the English analog to the first Russian form, and that's tantamount to denying that Ukraine ever should have been an independent state. Is that true if you say 'the Netherlands?'

132 Well i guess if we are going to work *soft power*--one thing it will give Obama an excuse for a lousy economy or something. Watch them do that. Here is some things to look at: The Moscow stock market fell by 11.3 percent, wiping nearly $60 billion (35 billion pounds) off the value of Russian companies in a day, and the central bank spent $10 billion of its reserves to prop up the rouble as investors took fright at escalating tensions with the West over the former Soviet republic. [...] MARKETS TUMBLE, GAZPROM HIT The Russian central bank raised its key lending rate by 1.5 percentage points after the rouble fell to all-time lows against the dollar. The MICEX index of Moscow stocks tumbled 11.5 percent to 1,278 points at 1400 GMT. That meant the market capitalisation of the rouble-denominated index had fallen $58.4 billion since Friday's close. The east-west tension also knocked 2-3 percent off European stock markets and sent safe haven gold to a four-month high. Russian gas monopoly Gazprom, which supplies Europe through Ukraine, was down nearly 14 percent. Gazprom's finance chief warned Ukraine that it may raise gas prices from next month, accusing Kiev of a patchy payments record, but said gas transit to Europe was normal. Ukraine has increased gas imports in the last few days to beat a feared price rise, a spokesman for its gas transit monopoly said. Ukraine's Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk, head of a pro-Western government that took power when former president Viktor Yanukovich, a Russian ally, fled on February 21 after three months of street protests against his rule, said Putin had effectively declared war on his country. Yatseniuk said the government planned to cut spending by 14 to 16 percent as Ukraine prepares for talks with the International Monetary Fund to avert the danger of default.[...] Reuter's

157 Natural gas shipments Gas exports are a major economic question mark, as Russia's vast reserves of natural gas are one of the major sources of power for much of Eastern Europe, and Ukraine in particular. Russia shipped 133 billion cubic metres of gas to Europe last year, including 40 billion to Germany. That's more than a third of Germany's entire supply of natural gas. "No wonder Europe's response to the ongoing problems has been little more than a wag of the finger at this stage," said Kathleen Brooks, market analyst at Forex.com. Russian stocks were hit hardest, with the MICEX losing 12.7 per cent. That's almost $60 billion US worth of stock market value wiped out. Russia's currency, the ruble hit all-time lows against it's major traders. It fell below 50 to the euro for the first time ever and is below 37 against the U.S. dollar, also a record. Russia increased its key interest rate by 1.5 percentage points overnight in an effort to support the ruble. "The only problem is that it didnÂ’t really work," Scotiabank economists Derek Holt and Dov Ziegler said in a note Monday morning. U.S. stocks were also lower, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 both losing more than 1 per cent. Wheat prices rise The conflict in Crimea is also affecting the agricultural market, as Ukraine and the regions surrounding it are one of the world's largest exporters of wheat. The most actively traded wheat future contract has increased from about $550 to more than $650 since the end of January. "Markets have certainly escalated over there in the last few days, and they're starting to reflect conflict premiums," Ag Scientia analyst Lloyd George said. "Clearly as an importer from that part of the world, you'd be concerned about your future supplies if there were going to be interruptions," Profarmer grain analyst Ron Storey said. cbc.ca

Yeah, the Oscars definitely favor actors who go through big physical changes, who go the extra yard to LOOK LIKE a character. Losing or gaining a lot of weight, making yourself look ugly, or crossing gender lines give you a whole lot of extra points in this contest.

165 Before I tweeted that earlier thing out, my wife said it was the most vapid observation ever. I guess she was right! — Howard Fineman (@howardfineman) March 3, 2014 How does a person, who even pretends to hold down gainful employment, even come up with shit like that? And the wife has to tell you how fucking stupid it is? I firmly believe that to be LIbEral means not having an inner monologue, on anything. Beyond mind blowing.

166 The vapidity of Fineman's statement, and the smug assurance with which he posted it, are so utterly reflective of the adolescent, atrophied minds of the left, that my only surprise is that he didn't post the Tweet and then go start gushing over Edward and Bella on a Twilight fan forum. That would have been doubly sweet, of course, because I'm sure he'd have gotten his ass handed to him by a twelve year-old on Team Jacob who goes by the online nickname W3ReW0lv3SRK3wL.

176 Matthew McConaughey was born in Uvalde, Texas and grew up there and in Longview, Texas. McConaughey was raised Methodist. His parents took his name from the Bible and apparently were pretty serious about it. On why he never shortened his name to “Matt,” the actor said, [My mother] said: ‘Your name is Matthew, I named you after the Bible. It is not Matt, do not ever answer to Matt in your life.’ It was like ‘Yes mam’, so that’s one of the things when people go ‘Matt’, I say ‘Matthew, please’.1 But McConaughey was married in 2012 to a Brazilian woman in a Catholic ceremony,2 and it appears he and his family attend church.3 So chances are that he has a much stronger connection these days to the faith of his wife than to that of his childhood. From Hollowverse Too Texas to be a Democrat; too hippy to be a Republican There is much speculation that McConaughey is a Republican. But the evidence for that ranges from absolutely none to sketchy at best. One site seemed to think that because he called himself “a proud, patriotic American,” that meant he was conservative. I’m gonna have to call bullshit there. And if they think he’s conservative because he’s from Texas, they’re going to have to come up with something better than that to convince me. But then again, some people think he couldn’t possibly be a Republican because he’s a hippy who doesn’t like to bathe, or because he smokes pot and likes to play the bongos naked. NBullshit indicator lights up again. When it comes down to it, we just don’t know which side of the aisle McConaughey stands on, if he stands anywhere. He is thankful for his gay fans and is supportive of the gay community, but he hasn’t come out in support of gay marriage that I could find. He hasn’t talked about abortion, gun control, immigration reform, or health care–all divisive issues on the American political landscape. He was spotted jogging with George Clooney before the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. but we’re really stretching here. Before we become guilty of taking turning non-indicative tidbits into political affiliation, let’s give it a rest, because we just don’t know about McConaughey.

197 Aging gracefully is not a crime, ladystars.

I've heard that as an older lady you get to choose one:
1.  Your butt looks good
2.  Your face looks good

If your face looks good, it's because you've replace your nice tight collagen face with fat, which means you have a large butt.
If your butt looks good, they you've chased away the fat and worked hard on your muscles, so your face with less collagen and no fat filler looks saggy.

The ladystars are trying to have it both ways by chasing away the fat with workouts and diets and then using the surgeon to fix the face.

Your face looks good If your face looks good, it's because you've replace your nice tight collagen face with fat, which means you have a large butt. If your butt looks good, they you've chased away the fat and worked hard on your muscles, so your face with less collagen and no fat filler looks saggy. Based on the older women at my gym, I'd say that about nails it.

I do love that the current Hollywood It girl, Jennifer Lawrence, has stated that her goal in training for Katniss was to be fit, not thin. There's also that Shailene Woodley in playing Tris is very much going for strong not tiny. There's a minor trend away from Magic Pixie Girls to Magic Strong Girls but at least it's a start.

334 I do love that the current Hollywood It girl, Jennifer Lawrence, has stated that her goal in training for Katniss was to be fit, not thin. There's also that Shailene Woodley in playing Tris is very much going for strong not tiny. There's a minor trend away from Magic Pixie Girls to Magic Strong Girls but at least it's a start.

336 Amazing how praising God is so terrible to these so-called Bastions of Tolerance, while they worship the golden calf (or ass) of Darth Choom.

It's like they really, truly cannot see how they are parodies of everything they claim to believe.

It must be nice to be a Liberal, knowing that reality and your viewpoints will never intersect, and that this somehow doesn't mean you should re-examine your beliefs.  Has to be a very easy way to live, even if not at all morally or intellectually (or spiritually) fulfilling.

345 OK, so care to explain "La Argentina"? --------------------- Full name = the argentine (silver) republic = la Republica Argentina, which leads to the shortened form of "la Argentina." (In English it used to be called "the Argentine," BTW.) Similarly, the republic of the equator= la Republica del (de + el) Ecuador, leads to shortened "el Ecuador." The republics of the Paraguay and Uruguay rivers take EL too. Chile, Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela, and some others have no article because they aren't formed that way. Thus Cuba= Cuba The Dominican Republic= La Dominicana

Their "thing" was serfdom. Don't you think it's funny we don't know the name of the first slave and the date (March when slavery was made legal? (The whole feudal system was started by Diocletian, who was attempting to deal with inflation.) How did slavery get started? Google John Casor.

Historically, where we've heard of Crimea: 1853-56 Crimean War (one of the first "modern" wars) Russia and the Ottoman Empire went to war in October 1853 over Russia's rights to protect Orthodox Christians. Russia gained the upper hand after destroying the Ottoman fleet at the Black Sea port of Sinope; to stop Russia's conquest, France and Britain entered in March 1854. Czarist Orthodox Russia lost to an alliance of non-Catholic by this point France, Britain, the Ottoman Empire, and Sardinia [!]. While neutral, Catholic Austria played a role in stopping the Russians. The result granted the declining Ottoman Empire a 20 year reprieve holding Crimea Islamic. (Russia has plenty of history to hold a grudge against France since the Napoleonic Wars.)

418 The problem with studying the slave trade is that half of it has been expunged from our history. Muslims captured, bought, sold, exported, imported, and castrated more slaves than the Europeans for a longer time. Saudi Arabia got rid of slavery, allegedly, in 1964. Yes, "9". Slavery is as Islamic as it ever was according to recent fatwas.

It depends on which Membership Package you purchased: at the lowest MP, The Cardboard, you get a full range of punctuation, up to a maximum of 342 in any one 24-hour period. With the Shag Carpet Package, you get audio files that try to load on the main page and won't let you in until you epfpw grr05 fsf. With the Schlitz Package, you get &&&&. What was the question again?

429 Russia and the Ottoman Empire went to war in October 1853 over Russia's rights to protect Orthodox Christians. Russia gained the upper hand after destroying the Ottoman fleet at the Black Sea port of Sinope; to stop Russia's conquest, France and Britain entered in March 1854. Czarist Orthodox Russia lost to an alliance of non-Catholic by this point France, Britain, the Ottoman Empire, and Sardinia [!]. While neutral, Catholic Austria played a role in stopping the Russians. The result granted the declining Ottoman Empire a 20 year reprieve holding Crimea Islamic. (Russia has plenty of history to hold a grudge against France since the Napoleonic Wars.) Posted by: panzernashorn at March 03, 2014 03:39 PM (MhA4j) --There was also a minor battle on the other side of that world, when a few French ships shelled Petropavlovsk.

434 Trans-atlantic slave trade occurred when the Spanish and Portuguese showed up on the west coast of Africa and started massively outbidding the Arabs. And it was the dominant black tribes selling the tribes they had conquered. Selling into slavery was part of their law enforcement basically. Steal another man's goat -- get sold into slavery. At the peak of the slave trade the dominant tribes were making so much money that any ticky tack offense carried the "sell you into slavery" punishment.

441 431 log prof, more than a few entries -- I'll go back after I post this. 1904 Japanese laid mine took down the Russian ship by that name I had been thinking how losing the Crimean War hurt the Czar's position not only globally, but certainly at home. Decades later, the subsequent Russian loss to Japan just prior to WWI certainly set the stage for the Russian socialists to assassinate the aristocrats, just as violently as the socialist French Revolutions proved to be from 1789 through the 1820s, played out by Russian socialists a century later. (And Wilson couldn't contain himself from interfering; leaving our military men over there lost and forgotten, "unmentionables".) A point? Europe is as volatile today as ever it has been. All the treaties and unions of nations (EU) only placate the violent urges festering under the surface. It's still dog eat dog.

... If Russia vs. Ukraine goes hot, Barry will make a show of raising U.S. readiness levels - and institute a bushel basket of new domestic security measures via executive order.

450 If he would have thanked the other god, that one that is "okay" ... you know the one that I mean, that one from where heads and hands get cut off for listening to Elvis. That would have been the respectful and correct thing to do.. giving credit to the "okay" god. Thanking that less acceptable God, the one that pulled a nation of idealists together, that less acceptable God that gave them the will and courage to go to the Moon, and do all of the other things ... well ... that's just such a stupid thing to talk about at the award ceremonies. And besides, he said underwear so he obviously hates all of those cultures that don't have underwear ... and running water ... or electricity everywhere ... or freedom of speech. The differences are so dramatic and obvious that any fool should be able to see them ... unless their god tells them to hate us.. ..
