Well if that's your response then you're conceding that The Post may be the better option.

Well to be fair, it may end up being the better option because I can't predict Han's opinions.  He may end up thinking The Post is better than Shape of Water.  So yes it is indeed a question of the day as to whether or not it's a better option

Thank you for your cooperation and acknowledgement.

So here's the issue I face.  I've pretty much missed out on most of the late year releases.    I would submit ballots and lists but I feel as if I'd be short changing things by having a incomplete ballot or lists.

Welp...

I know, I know. By any reasonable measure it's the right thing to do and no good can come out of continuing to defend the logo in this day and age. And I know the figurative rape of my childhood is meaningless compared to its reputation now as a symbol of centuries of actual racial oppression. I still can't not be displeased that an icon I associate many happy memories with is now seen as evil by the world at large.

10 minutes until The Post.

 

This might've been a bad decision

Try being a Hindu for whom this is the 3rd holiest symbol designed by God

I had a meeting the whole morning about a paper that covers blackface in several dances I've grown up watching during Carnival. It is a weird place to be in, but I think it pales next to the good that is done ending this kind of stuff that have only survived due to a misplaced sense of tradition.

Do it anyway.

Everyone misses out on some films. Whether they are at the end of the year or the start. Just make a list of the films that you have seen.

If you'd like, you could copy my ballot.

Yeah, that's one thing that certainly comes to my mind a lot in dealing with the issue. But I don't think anyone who isn't an Indians fan had any interest in sympathizing with their perspective. If anyone made the slightest protest to the demands to get rid of it, they'd been dismissed as backward racists.

Always enjoy it when a simple task is somehow met with a giant sigh
