Good lord, what is up with this year's Best Picture nominees? They're no fucking fun. Slumdog Millionaire is vapid garbage, Benjamin Buttons is a lifeless bore, The Reader is a tenuous tract, and Milk is cautiously optimistic. Does anyone at the Academy have any living guts? The most vigorous entry, and best of the bunch, is Frost/Nixon: A docudrama about an interview with the boogeyman.
Remember last year? Virile! We had precocious teen pregnancy, a shotgun with a silencer, and bowling for blood.
The best film of 2008 is obvious: WALL-E.
Jury prize for The Wrestler.

I would suggest Synecdoche New York too!!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I have to admit that I own WALL-E instead of Synecdoche :p
ReplyDeleteI somehow managed to see Wall-E, though I haven't been to a theater more than twice this whole past year. I can't remember the last time a current movie blew my mind...Fargo?
ReplyDeleteThere Will Be Blood blew my mind last year. I just bought it.
