#Harlem shake poop edition bestgore movie#
Some documentaries are either misleading or glorified, but there's a general understood contract between the filmmaker and the viewer that the movie is something real.Īnyway, I watched this year's Oscar winner (a theme!), Searching for Sugarman, this Friday and was blown away by the story to the point where I just wanted to open my wallet and throw money at the subject of the film, the forgotten folk singer named Rodriguez. Though I love all kinds of films, a well-told documentary has a high ceiling because they are grounded in the most truth (well we hope). I can imagine the director finishing the final cut, shrugging, and saying, "eh, well that happened."
Poor choice begot poor choice until the string of dominoes led to Naomi Watts and a ghost racing to the top of a well to see who could close it first. And I couldn't help but feel that The Ring Two fell victim to this. Normally, we can trash them or fix them, but when it comes to taking advantage of a sequel's potential, time isn't afforded. It's kind of a weird phenomenon, but writers sometimes lose control of their own stories and are helpless while watching them spiral out of control, even though stories aren't living and breathing things. But anyway, this was a real, rushed piece of shit. It's actually shocking that I didn't see this movie sooner, considering the first installment of The Ring remains the only movie ever to scare the absolute bejeezus out of me. Great, Brett! Thanks for declaring this eight years later. I won't go so far as saying the dumb game is rigged, but I don't know another term for it.Ģ- The WORST movie of 2005 is.THE RING 2! These movies don't change, they don't get better, they aren't even touched. For something to have momentum, IT HAS TO BE MOVING. And then, of course, accepting these dumb decisions as some kind of truth.Īlso, and this has bugged me for years, I find it laughable that we accept terms like "this film is gaining momentum" when discussing the chances of Oscar victories. How you can compare great movies and performances and simplify them by boiling them down to basic terms like "best" is beyond me. We somehow how celebrate art, something subjective, beautiful, and multifaceted, by creating a competition like all of it exists in a quantifiable vacuum. I know I've said this a thousand times, but the Academy Awards is everything I hate about humanity in one three hour nutshell. Who was the biggest snub of the 2013 Oscars? Humanity's collective dignity. Regardless of how minuscule the chances of victory are, there is something powerful about a simple piece of paper that holds the possibility of changing your life forever in a positive way, even if the thoughts are just some odd abstraction.ģ - Let's Get My Oscar Hate Out Of The Way! Perhaps this is a sign of a gambling problem, but there is unexplainable excitement while actually scratching the ticket, and irreplaceable daydreams while walking back from the store with the tickets in hand. Is that too hard to ask?Ĭalifornia has recently introduced new scratch off tickets that offer a grand prize of 5k a week for the next 25 years, and for some reason, I've convinced myself that I actually have a chance of winning, so I've purchased too many and have won a total of four dollars. I'm still hoping a producer will come to my doorstep and beg me. They should let me run it already, even though I never once applied. You get chosen for a once in a lifetime experience and just bitch the entire time? Nice. I'm sure teams taking penalties has happened a few times in the twenty-something seasons of the Race, but I only remember twice. We are two episodes in and already two teams have quit challenges in favor of a six hour penalty, while another considered it before deciding not to be complete pussies and *gasp* trying it. So let's get to even stupider things.ĥ - The New Season Of The Amazing Race Started.and I hate most of the teams. So let's not bother.Īnyway, I won't bore you with NFL combine stuff, even though I have an unhealthy obsession with something so stupid. I probably should do a top five regarding reasons I haven't been blogging, but it would be a boring list consisting of excuses and general laziness. Holy hell it's been a while since I blogged.
