I for one am banning the trash. I haven't been to a movie in over 2 years. Let them watch their filth. I won't.

America isn’t watching these films, why are they winning the awards...

Charles Krauthammer nailed it the other day....he said that probably 18 people actually seen "buttcrack mountain"...but they were the "right" people.

Fox News' Bill McCuddy said he got the cold shoulder on the red carpet when he asked them (the "stars") if they thought they were appealing to mainstream America with the movies that were being celebrated that evening. I wish I had seen the whole thing. Took guts for him to ask - even as an "entertainment reporter."

Stay at home and control what you watch.

"If America isn’t watching these films, why are they winning the awards?”

My question: Who decides who/what films win the awards?

The "crowned heads" of award-dom wanted to bestow tons of awards on Michael Moore last year, but his Fahrenheit 911 wasn't a good enough product.

I think they are over-correcting with BM.

And good for you. Being true to your personal standards is a truly wonderful thing, and I don't think anyone in the world would fault you for it. The problem arises when one group of people wants to dictate what another group may read and/or watch.

I would prefer to read a good book. To hell with movies. Most of them are garbage that I wouldn't see in the first place and the rest aren't worth the ticket price.

Great!

These trashy movies winning GG awards should put yet more folks off watching the Oscars.

Hollyweird may well be self-destructing.

If America isn’t watching these films, why are they winning the awards?

Because America doesn't give awards, unless you count the People's Choice Awards. The Golden Globes are given by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The Oscars by AMPAS.

The real question is why so many people think that these awards are important in some way.

We would hope so...I would love to see Babs Streisand living on the streets...or Alex Baldwin picking up my trash.

Seriously...these people are so hateful that I believe they are actually cutting off their nose....

They put out unwatchable trash for most people, instead of making uplifting family movies. It has been demonstrated over and over that family type movies make ga-zillions of dollars, and blatently perverted movies like buttcrack mountain lose.

Note to "buttcrack mountain" muckety mucks:

If any of you lunatics are listening..I am not going to spend a dime on your fag propaganda. Nobody that I know are not either. If you think that there is something uplifting about the destruction of two families just because two people can't control themselves, then you are stupider than I could ever imagine. I sincerely hope that this movie bankrupts you personally and any business that is associated with this piece of homo trash.....

Though in all seriousness, I really don't give two bits about which snobby and rather airheaded starlets give their friends what.

There are more important things to worry about--like the filth they shamelessly produce.

I don't see very many movies for the very reason that said products of Hollyweird can be attributed as a classic example to Sturgeon's Law.

When Liberal-wacko movies don't make a profit, those footing the $$ for them may get a tad ticked. How many millions have to go down the drain before they figure that out?

My wife loves House too. She was watching CBS and they were doing pre-show interviews etc. Two blonde women were standing there, one cute one kinda ugly. Then I saw the name of one of them was Steve. I thought, what a strange name for a woman, then it spoke. It about turned my stomach. Since when do they let cross dressers into the mainstream? I called my sister, I guess he is a fixture on the Today show......If it wasn't for House, Lost and sports, I would throw my tube in the bay.

I never even heard of "The Golden Globes" before this year, and I'm old enough to remember Sputnik.

But the "Golden Globes", "Grammies", "Emmies" and all the rest of that... I have never watched them. Certain, ahem, activities should be done (if they need to be done at all) in private. It's embarrassing to see them done in public. But then, Hollywood has no shame.

And no discernment, either. Which is why they're releasing loser after loser that just simply... fails at the box office.

My biggest personal complaint is that too many clueless airlines air this trash on their long-haul flights. Did I say "Clueless?" Imagine an airline presenting "The Terminal (Man?)" --I do not recall the title, it's about a guy trapped in an airline terminal-- on a flight frequented by some of us too-frequent flyers? Not funny, just a reminder of why we hate air travel.

Ya'll know what? Brokeback Mountain may cause a run of gay films in all genres...

Such as Star Trek: The Rinse & Set Generation

"I tell you, Jim, those shampoo boys are all just bitches!"

There could be The Odd Species

"Kermit, I knew that pig would drive you back to me!"

In the tradition of from TV to the big screen, there will be Male Call - The Movie

"Oh hell, just drop!"

Political thrillers like Baghdad Mountain: The Early Years

"Hill don't have a clue, Saddam!"

And even war films like Baa Baa White Sheep

"Ramming speed!"

Gad! Who knows where it will end...

"You just had to come out and ruin the Western genre, didn't you?"
