Gandhi

This movie swept the Academy Awards in 1983. You know what else came out that year? Oh, just a little something called E.-fuckin'-T. Yeah, you heard me right. Gandhi is not a better movie than E.T. In fact, Gandhi wasn't even a better person than E.T. Sure they look and dress the same, and they were both vegetarians and pinball wizards, but let's consider their advice. Gandhi said turn the other cheek, a stupid and confusing philosophy that got his ass shot and led to nuclear standoff between India and Pakistan. Way to go, jerk. Maybe he should've fasted just a little harder. In contrast the muppet made it simple: Be good. And call your mother. The result? The science lab frogs were set free, Elliott got to kiss the girl, and the frogs sought no retribution. And then he made bikes fly. So fuck you, Gandhi.
