Once in a long time a movie successfully combines the seemingly unrelated unrelated areas of teenage partying, missing cars, and first contact with extra terrestrial life in a synergy of perfect humor excellence. Few movies are brave enough to even try. Its like the oscars are nothing more than a popularity contest.
Of course the Oscars overlook films like this, daring inventive films that ask questions most of the buttoned down conservative Hollywood celebrities don't want to deal with, tough issues.
Issues like; are we alone in the universe? when is too much partying really too much? could aliens be involved in some way with what happens to your car?
I haven't actually seen the movie, but I have a pretty good idea why the academy is acting this way. Because the academy is under the thumb of the CIA, NSA, and Disney/ABC. They are hiding the fact that in 1934 aliens landed in Hollywood and stole Charlie Chaplin's car, setting into motion a domino of missing cars, anal probes and human/alien hybrid abominations.
Either that or they don't want to encourage the production of any more retarded teen movies the likes of American Pie, Loser, and what not. Well fuck them, if people want to watch stupid movies that makes them art and the academy should accept that fact and start awarding movies based on new standards.
If a movie can be over 90 minutes it deserves an award. If everyone in the movie remembers their lines it deserves an award. If the movie has both sound and moving images it deserves an award.
The porno industry has its own awards, they are a little different than the oscars because best actress has a whole different meaning in the skin trade. It means best dick handler. Its also different because the performers are all kinda weird. But they give out awards based on just being able to put it together without fucking up. I like that.
Awards are stupid and funny, their stupid because there are too many awards, and their funny because people take them seriously. Who gives a shit if a movie wins awards anyway? Gladiator is nominated for like 12 oscars and that movie was fucking retarded. First off it was just violent and pointless, like when he cuts that guys head off, what the fuck was that about? The guy was injured, and by cutting his head off gladiator killed him. Plus, there were so many logical inconsistencies.
Am I supposed to believe that everyone in ancient Rome spoke english, and with nearly no accent at all whatsoever? Get serious, what do you take me for? It would have been more believable if they talked like real italians
"Hey-a gladiator, I make-a a nice-a big-a pot-a spagetti. Whatsa matta you gladiator? You donna like-a my-a spagetti? Whatsa guy supposada think-a? You come-a into my restaurant-a and you dont-a want-a eat-a my-a spagetti? You fuckin dago sword-a fighting mook. God-a in heaven I'm a gonna kill-a you!"
Remember Cheech and Chong? I rate Gladiator up there with Cheech and Chong movies as how stupid they were. I hate Cheech and Chong, except for that "Hey man its Frank" sketch. That was funny shit. Remember that song "Acapulco Gold", that was pretty funny too. And that thing in up in smoke where they're driving, except they're not, their parked and they're so high they don't even know it, that is funny.
Fuck is Cheech and Chong funny. What's my point? Oh yeah, don't do drugs.
