The Academy Awards Smell
Normally, I don’t pay any attention to the Academy Awards, but last night I decided to watch a little bit of the “ceremony,” a term I use lightly. It only took one shot of the crowd to make me realize how full of crap these things are. Just look at the smug look on all the actor’s faces. Honestly, you can just see how important they think they are, with their glowing smiles and nods of approval. One glimpse of Marky Mark in the crowd was enough to make my hand turn into a fist. To steal a joke from South Park, that room is probably the smelliest room in the whole world because everyone in there is just sitting in their own farts and loving it. Needless to say, I stopped watching it less than 5 minutes later.
As far as I’m concerned, these awards don’t exist anymore. I could care less what movie wins what award. The only thing I know is that The Departed won a bunch of stuff, but I couldn’t name you the categories. You know, I like movies as much as the next guy, but the fact of the matter is that movies aren’t this important. If the entire film industry crashed tomorrow, the world would move on, and it would smell a heck of a lot less too.
