A Short Rant

I watched the Hurt Locker last night. Wow. That is one of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. Absolutely, it was the right movie to win the Best Picture Oscar.

I can't believe that Avatar was a contender. Just goes to show that incredible special effects can really blind people. Yes, I admit it. I thought Avatar sucked. But even if I did like it, there is no way I would have thought it was more deserving of the top picture award then the Hurt Locker.

The Hurt Locker made me think. It made me reel. That's great art.

Sometimes it hard for me to understand why so-and-so makes so much money to give the world meaningless fluff. Do we really need the existence of Are We There Yet? Sometimes I am amazed at the things people do with their lives, like make bad movies. Did they really think that it was good at the time or was it just for the paycheck?

Is this what we go through life for? Seeing how much money we can make doing whatever it takes? Seems like that, sometimes. A really long time ago life was all about surviving. What you did, your "job", was about finding food and shelter and continuing the species. How did we become what we are now? Are We There Yet? is not a necessary part of human existence. It just can't be.

Maybe I'm being too harsh. I do love the Family Guy, after all. Well, as long as quality entertainment gets the awards and recognition it's due and movies like Sorority Row go straight to video, I'll feel like at least something is right in this world.
