Daily Thoughts

He's been an amazing actor in the past 15 years, had fantastic roles that he played mindblowingly, but has failed to get an Oscar up until this point. People are outraged and perplexed by that fact, so it's a huge deal that he finally got one. So yes, it was "give this man his freaking award already". Way overdue.

I guess this where i differ in opinion from everyone else's. I don't find Leo's body of work that much more impressive than certain other actors/actresses who've been nominated less, which is why i found the #Leo4Oscar a little surprising. For the past week, i've read articles on his chances leading up to Sunday night, which felt like a ramped up story about an actor's tortured soul needing to win an Oscar to justify his career. Not saying he wasn't deserving for this nomination or previous nominations, but it was a subject made bigger than it should be (in my humble opinion), even if all his past performances were considered masterpieces. Edit: Felt like there was a bandwagon affect where everyone started cheering for the poor guy.

It's been something talked about for many years now. I think it was more noticeable to you and others lately because of hype about The Revenant being so recent. But the sheer amount of highly acclaimed films that he acted in brilliantly netting him 0 Oscars over the years being shocking people is a pretty popular notion, not so much a bandwagon thing.

This is probably more of a generational thing. But I was more surprised Ennio Morricone had never won an Oscar before last night. His first for over 500 movie credits, including Clint Eastwood's "Dollar Trilogy." He was definitely overdue!

If there's previous talk, I'll take your word for it. But to this amount, i'd say it's hyped more than ever since it was hard avoiding it. As an example: the sheer amount of Leo mentions on my twitter feed last night was tremendous, especially from regular folks. Maybe some of them are hardcore movie buffs, but all of them? I'd definitely say the bandwagon is real.

Edit: we'll hafta agree-2-disagree on this one

Leo not having an Oscar has been an internet meme for a while now. It's been all over tumblr (the only social media I really use) since last years Oscars, at least. Probably since 2014's Oscars, I can't remember exactly. But I feel like I've been seeing it forever. It's been on my Tumblr dash all the time, long before this years Oscars.

Of course last night/today it was hyped up more. He finally won.

You can just Google "Leo Oscars Meme." There's about a million.

I am not a huge Leo fan but I'm excited he won so the Leo meme can die

The amount of Leo mentions on social media wasn't a surprise at all to me, because as Amber said, this was a HUGE deal. Not just the fact that this talented man received his first Oscar after multiple nominations in the past...but that speech he gave...WOW. That would've been cool if Shemar Moore had been the one to announce Leo's name, because I was thinking about that old video clip where he announces Susan Lucci's first Emmy win. He was so cute shouting "THE STREAK IS OVER!!! SUSAN LUCCI!!!" Lol.


And yeah, I'm one of those people who kept talking about Leo on social media. I usually do not watch The Oscars or any award show unless Justin Timberlake's performing, but I watched The Oscars this year because I loved both The Revenant and Creed and knew that Leo and Stallone were both nominated for those films.

I've never cared for award show banter though. Yikes. That's painful to watch. Lol. All the lame dialogue and jokes, and the audience's laughs seem forced. Lol. The people in the audience are probably thinking the same thing as me..."Okay! Okay! Enough with the lame dialogue...get to the nominees already!"

 

[JuicyJade]

when will I ever start broadcasting with so much to catch up on ?!

 

[Deondriadevine]

Im so looking forward to the weekend and being able to sleep in

Apparently my crazy ex got out of prison today. I predict contact from her within a week...

/rant Bree Olson is making some major mistakes. Which Im not going to explain about in public.

At least by comparison, it shows a lot of top models are experienced enough to know what they are doing, and most less experienced models follow there example.

She's had an average of 1848 people in her room at any given time. Her camscore is over 37,000. And she's only been online a total of 60 hours ever to get that.

I'm fairly certain every camgirl on the forum would love for you to explain all the mistakes Bree is making...so they could make them all themselves.

Any time I have watched her she seemed to be pretty much a natural at this. Has something changed in the last couple weeks?

Please explain.

This "I am gonna rant about something but I won't tell you" is crap.

 

[mynameisbob84]

From what little I've seen of her, she seems to be doing fine. She was thanking every tip, seemed happy to be there, looked very pretty (obviously). The only thing I didn't like about her room was something that she had no control whatsoever over, and that was the endless stream of inane comments from members that, given the room count, were scrolling by at hyper-speed. I prefer rooms where things are a little more laid-back and there's a discussion going on that I can take part in. Bree's celebrity status makes that kind of impossible, but given the amount of money she's making, I'm sure she's not too concerned about that.

I just wanted to share something nice & some ACF positivity!

Three super lovely ACFers worked together to help me adopt a dog from Mexico and I have been meaning to thank them!! It has been exactly one month since she arrived from Mexico and I love her so much, it makes me so happy to know that she is here because of the kindness of ACF friends.

Thank you so much to @caireen @nadiaspring & @HiGirlsRHot for bringing this sweetheart into my life!

Her name is Rey and she is so much fun -- loves to play with toys, go for long walks & cuddle in your lap. She has made friends with many old ladies on our walks because for some reason old ladies really like her. I love Rey so much she is my Rey of sunshine haha.

 

[HiGirlsRHot]

Rey is a cutie. I always knew that cute dogs were a chick magnet.

Does anyone here babysit? What's a reasonable rate to charge to watch a 3-year old and 7-year old girl for a few hours a week? I know this family from the daycare center where I worked (my last day there was Christmas Eve). Part of me really misses working with kids (I like to visit the center every now and then), and I'm pretty excited about seeing my girls again!

I don't babysit, but I have a kid so I've paid babysitters. If the kid is still in a diaper the rates might go up a bit, but $15-$20/hr for two kids isn't out of the realm of reasonableness.

 

[yummybrownfox]

Two things. One...this guy is cute and reminds me of Tom Keen (played by Ryan Eggold) from The Blacklist. And two...DAAAMN, what a voice! I even heard a Steve Wonder-like run in there. If he stays this consistent throughout the show, he could win this thing. I really didn't wanna get sucked back into watching these singing competition shows, but just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in...

 

[JerryBoBerry]

High temp alarms started going off constantly on my PC last night. This morning I took out the CPU and cooling block. The fins were totally caked with dust. After much cleaning, sneezing, and half a bottle of rubbing alcohol it's running so much cooler now.

Went from the 60 C or above alarm temp down to 21 C. And with a torture test run only got up to 27 C. Sucks not having an air compressor. Those cans of compressed air just don't get it good enough in all the small areas.

I just saw a commercial advertising Vyvanse to treat binge eating disorder.

I mean, yeah I guess that would work but shit. That's gonna come with a lot of other symptoms, not just surpassed hunger. Since it's medication for ADD.

Damn.

 

[Johndoe91]

Just took one of those "who do you side with" presidential candidate tests, never even heard of one of them that I apparently side fairly highly with. Maybe I need to start paying more attention...
