Movie Rant January 24, 2009

Most movie critics are lame. I mean these people only seem to like movies that are BORING and/or depressing as hell. Depressing movies can be good, have a strong story, and great acting but they are still depressing. I don’t know about the rest of the world but I am tired of depressing movies. Yes the world sucks, but I want my entertainment to be better then the real world. Why the hell do people WANT their entertainment to be depressing?!

There are two main types of movie goers. One is the Oscar snob, they only watch what the critics like and the other group consists of the people that actually bring the studios money.

Most of the world will eat boring bland food if enough people tell them it is good for them, but what we want is TASTEY food and we don’t care if it has no nutritional value or if it is bad for us. The same thing applies to movies. Oscar worthy movies are usually the whole grain cardboard products people tell you to eat.

I know many people to claim boring movies are good because the star, director, or what ever has won some award. These same people use their children and/or friends as a reason to go see the movies they really want to see. You watch them in the theatre and they laugh and smilewith everyone else then come out saying …. ‘Tsk Tsk Buffy, that action was sooooooooooooo unrealistic’ or ‘That person’s performance was sooooooo weak’. I have a few things to say to you people:

1. Movies are not real, thus all movies are unrealistic.
2. Who are you to judge if someone performance was weak? Did you study theatre? I mean other then being friends with someone who was in drama in high school?
3. Stop pretending that watching indie movies makes you sophisticated.
4. You probably liked Episode 3 didn’t you?
5. Lean to have a little fun in your life and perhaps you would not need to tear apart things that are intended to entertain. I myself do not like slap stick, so I just don’t watch it. There is no reason for me to tear it apart.
6. When you talk all I hear is ‘BAHHHHHHHHHHHH BAHHHHHHH’, stop being a sheep and think for yourself.
7. A famous award wining actor does not a good movie make *cough..Gran Torino*.
