Re: The current crop of films. The Oscars these days seems to specialise in films I never want to
watch. There was that boring slave nonsense and the space crap last year, Daniel Day-Lewis being dull the year before that (and don't get me started on Les Miserables) and a f**king silent film the year before that! This year, you've got Spaz Chariots of Fire or whatever it's called with thon ginger fella, some worthy bore-fest about Martin Luther King that doesn't have any of his speeches in it and something about a bint with early-onset Alzheimer's. Plus, of course, Birdman (which looks unbelievably pretentious and dull) and a film about that synonym for dullness, jazz drumming, ffs! :-| :-(
Essentially, if a film is likely to win awards these days, it generally seems to mean I have little or no interest in seeing it.
You told me Boyhood was shit. Then it won Best Film.
I'm not trusting your critical judgement any more. You're an artistic philistine.
It is shit. I can't believe I left out that f**king tedious gimmicky shit.
I really wanted to punch that little c**t by the end of the film.
Lego movie wasn't even nominated.
I watched 'Under the Skin' yesterday. It was a masterful take on feminine subjectivity and the
assymetrical nature of sexual relationships. It was arguably the best flick I've seen over the past twelve months, and I was assured to find that it had received a lowly 6.3 rating from IMDB unwashed masses. That undoubtedly confirms that it was indeed brilliant and that I am indeed brilliant.
It's clearly communist nonsense though
I mean, when has Business been an enemy?
is that birdman as shit as ive heard ?
Gone Girl was good. I like Ben Afleck. He gives great jaw.
Maps to the Stars was f**king rubbish.
Yes, I quite like that.
