I’d rather watch the short about menstruation.

“His Oscar in hand, he walked alone toward the theatre exit while the “Green Book” producers were accepting their award.”

This as**ole and his race pimping/“look at me!” schtick has been going on for far too long.

I calculated that I haven’t been to the movies in going on three years. There’s my level of interest in Hollywood...

I'm a huge movie buff but I see about 90% of my films on video. I see movies in theaters about 2-3 times a year on average. My first film this year will be Captain Marvel in March, which sounds like a ton of fun and I think has been unfairly bashed as 'SJW propaganda' just because the lead actress in it is a liberal loon (and which Hollywood movie DOESN'T have a liberal loon in?)

If it DOES turn out to be SJW man-hating nonsense, I'll warn you guys, but I don't think that will be the case.

Most of the Oscar "Best Picture" winners have been "WTH?" moments where they award some pointless "artsy" movie, period piece, or virtue signaling PC garbage. I did enjoy last year's Best Picture winner (The Shape of Water), and it was cool that Guillermo del Toro won, though it wasn't his best film. I was EXTREMELY disappointed by 2014's Best Picture winner, Birdman. I was really looking forward to that movie since it seemed like ideal casting, and it was a huge waste of time. Have zero interest in seeing the 2015 or 2016 Best Picture winners. I think the last time a "mainstream" movie won was about a decade ago when No Country For Old Men took home Best Picture.

Interesting trivia: No sci-fi movie has ever won Best Picture.

I have a lot more fun with the Razzie Awards (Worst movie 'winners'), though it too has been overrun with virtue signaling and going after celebrities instead of focusing on what is genuinely the "worst" movie in its own right. This year I'm proud to announce that I was a voting member of the Razzies for the first time (I will write a blog about it and post a link for you guys). I'm also proud that the movie I voted for scored a much deserved "win" for Worst Picture of 2018: Holmes & Watson. Will Ferrell's latest obnoxious "comedy" was unwatchable tripe that made me lose interest after 5 minutes of his schlock. Arthur Conan Doyle is spinning in his grave.
