Yeah, it’s not up to the level of firing someone. Safe to say there was no malice involved. Figure out what happened, and take steps to insure it doesn’t happen again.
It’s not like someone ran naked across the stage or anything…

Isn’t it fascinating to think that probably the only laugh that man ever got was by stripping off and showing his shortcomings?

I’m sure you’ve made plenty of mistakes that aren’t being endlessly scrutinized and made fun of on the internet, let it fucking go you’re being a real asshole and I don’t care if it’s violating the rules for me to say so.

Guys, I’m stupid. I found this question in a bunch a stupid riddles. I guess I just don’t get the joke

Question:

How many bricks does it take to complete a build made of brick?

Answer:

Only one - the “last” one

huh? I get it. Could someone please explain what I am missing?

You’re right, they should absolutely be fired for handing someone the wrong envelope about a fucking movie. I don’t know how I couldn’t see that. I’m sure everyone involved was akin to one of the stooges for this mistake.

Surely it’s not against the rules to simply restate things you’ve said. I’m not even saying you are an asshole in general just that you’re being one about this. I’m taking a break from this place. Goodnight.

No matter how many bricks you use, it isn’t complete until the last one.

If I had known it was going to make you this angry, I wouldn’t have said anything. Again, I ask you to please calm down. This isn’t worth getting that upset off. My opinion doesn’t matter that much.

Just for the record. I didn’t complain to Silverwook. He saw what you wrote and responded before I even saw it. I wouldn’t have reported it at all.

As far as I know, it is not against the rules to simply restate something I’ve said. If you wish to believe I am being an a-hole about this, you are entitled to your opinion. I’ll think about what you’ve said.

And Zootopia winning seems really dumb - even though I haven’t seen it.

Pixar usually dominates the category, but hasn’t been doing much besides sequels lately.

As you have kids, that’s kind of a surprise you haven’t seen it.

Didn’t you read Huzeniey’s review he posted here? Who would want to see Zootopia after he dropped the obviously not-crazy truth about that deviant, mind-corrupting film, much less take their kids to experience such filth?!

The last brick needed completes the build.
It doesn’t say “How many bricks does it take to build a building”, but “How many does it take to complete a building”.

We’re ignoring the far greater problem from the Oscars. Suicide Squad won the Hair and Makeup award. We now live in a world with Academy Award Winner Suicide Squad. Star Trek: Beyond used makeup and prosthetics to create 50 unique alien species, and was beat by Suicide Squad. “Damaged” forehead tattoo, pale goth loser, Sharpie®-skull-face, smuged, ugly Suicide Squad

The academy has always been a bit daft in what wins in technical categories.

Zootopia was a decent film but Moana was the better of their two films. That said, of them all, Kubo and the Two Strings should have won this year. Instead it’s just another year and another disappointment from the Academy voters.

When has the academy ever appreciated or understood the complexities of stop motion? Ray Harryhausen got snubbed his entire career.

The entire animation category is to make sure they never compete against “real” movies, like when Beauty and The Beast was up for best picture against a movie where Anthony Hopkins tears off someone’s face and wears it. 😉

I know you didn’t and I’m not upset at silverwook for saying something because I knew it was a risky post. I know you didn’t mean any harm I just have a short fuse when it comes to insulting people over innocent isolated mistakes. If this same individual had ruined multiple Oscars I would probably feel different.

Keep in mind the people or person in question will never know about my three stooges comparison.

There’s a coworker of mine that constantly insults this sweet old lady that also works with us behind her back for being slow. She knows everything about the job and is very knowledgeable and a great resource for advice and very sweet but she is physically slow being well into her 60s and having poor health, so this other worker constantly makes fun of her behind her back and always proclaims how glad she is when she’s off or when she has to call in sick because “she would have just been in the way”. (Which is quite honestly not true she’s still helpful to have around) this old lady doesn’t hear her making fun of her our saying hateful things like that, so is it still wrong? I know this is a very harsh and extreme (though sadly true) scenario that you would never do, but I’m just explaining why things like this bother me.

Did you ever tell your co-worker he/she a piece of shit? …that is…unless you agree with him/her.

Sorry if I reminded you of your coworker. I understand.

I thought ZOOTOPIA had beautiful visuals, fine humor, and a clever detective story.
