Sacred cows make the best hamburger.
I don't go to movies often,because(imo)most of the stuff hollywood cranks out these days is not worth the cost of a ticket. The last movie i saw was the Day After Tomorrow, and it was dissapointing.About the oscars,has Rush or Fox coverered this?I would think getting some media attention would help?Something like this is definitely bad press for hollywood.
Academy Awards about to Jump the Shark?
Great, great, great analogy...
I was expecting an article with insights as to the decline of the Oscar telecast. I got sour grapes because someones favorite movie of the year was snubbed.
They may also have jumped the shark when they switched from "And the winner is" to "And the Oscar goes to". That was a stupid change.
And extraodinarily popular film does not mean instant Oscar. Ferris Bueller's Day Off would have taken home the award back in the 80's if that were the case.
Almost all the awards shows are past their primes. Ratings are down. Most people recognize them for what they are: industry patting itself on the back.
This guy prolly hasn't seen any of these movies. I've seen "Ray" (excellent movie--Foxx will win the AA--see it); "...Spotless Mind" (eh--miss it); "Sideways" (ok--but did not live up to the hype--wait for the DVD). Just my opinion...
Both Marys mopping up Jesus blood with rags on the ground kind of like two groupies mopping up the sweat of Elvis after a performance at Caesars Palace in Vegas.. it was disgusting and funny too.. No movie ever has made me use those two words in the same sentence before.. But then I don't watch porn.. The, useing of the subtitles, for the Aramaic was cute.. To wit, a bit too Roman Catholic for me, mostly.. maybe the Maryolatry bent my nose too far up.. Causing me look down my nose at it.. Mel Gibson's deepest innards were displayed in that project.. shows he is a good director..
However, it was a big box office smash.. An Oscar for 'the musical SCORE" and makeup is also funny.. could be a "dis".. probably is a "dis".. but Hollywood is funny in a disgusting kind way.. kind of like a sissy fag.. is disgustingly funny.. Hollywood is a very queer place.. In Hollywood queer is not queer.. The rest of the country is queer to "Hollywood".
You got to give it to Jesus though.. I can think of no human being that has had as much impact on human society as Jesus.. Its almost like it is supposed to be that way.. What ever Jesus was doing, "worked".. Probably every person that has read about him seriously could make their OWN movie about him.. Mel just displayed his own version.. Who in history had that much impact.. Nobody I can think of.. The best actor should go the Jesus.. Mohamaad's act was a spoof of Jesus.. done poorly.. Budda was merely an ex-Hindu in protest, and Moses was a shemozle.. Jesus should get best actor.. his performace dwarfs all others.. for nigh on to 2000 years give or take a generation..
