God damnit, I'm so disappointed by my inability to write anything I like. I know everyone's their own worst critic, but I'm way too hard on myself. I spent an hour writing something on here, decided I didn't like it, and scrapped it. Grr.
The Grammys were tonight. Because apparently people actually give a shit about what a committee of dumbasses think is the best of the best in the music world. Same thing with the Academy Awards. Amazing films like The Dark Knight, Gonzo, and Tropic Thunder only get small nods, Gran Torino gets snubbed completely, yet stupid shit like The Reader, Slumdog Millionaire, Rachel Getting Married, and Revolutionary Road, which all got pretty shitty reviews, aside from Slumdog, but theres something about that movie that just pushes me away from it, are being hailed for being amazing films. Fucking asshats.
The premise of Slumdog Millionaire looks pretty cool. The story, from what I've heard, is great. Danny Boyle's an incredible director (28 Days Later, Trainspotting are the two first films that pop into my mind hearing his name), but I seriously think that it's being overblown. The Wrestler, The Visitor, and Frost Nixon, and even Milk, which some people didn't like, are incredible, yet everyone's making it out to seem like Slumdog Millionaire is just gonna shit all over everything and take home all the awards. The Dark Knight, which is nominated for Best Supporting Actor (Heath Ledger, who fucking better win that award. Best performance I've seen in a movie in a long time. One of the most iconic, probably ever), Best Art Direction, and Best Cinematography. Nolan didn't get a nod for Best Director. No Best Adapted Screenplay. These people have no idea what they fuck they're talking about when it comes to good movies. The fucking Academy just doesn't want to acknowledge that a COMIC BOOK MOVIE was one of the best movies of the year, which is really pathetic, in my opinion. Last year was such a saving grace, as No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood got the big awards (Best Picture, Supporting Actor for NCFOM, Best Actor and a few others, including cinematography, for TWBB. Daniel Day Lewis is fucking UNREAL in that movie.)
I also heard Benjamin Button was really good. I just haven't jad a chance to see it.
Fuck the Academy. Fuck the Grammys. Fuck all those stupid award shows. They're full of shit. Probably rigged anyway. |
