Who else could not give less of a fuck about the Oscars?

She's cute and good looking too but not a terribly good actor IMHO

 

Some of us don't give a fuck about the grammys either but there are still a artists worthy of discussion. Actors are very much artists too.

 

Because its kind of a wank to claim you are not interested in the main awards show for movies.

Far enough one may be not all that interested in the awards show in a particular year or in general, but everyone loves movies

 

I don't give a flying fuck. Or a fuck that can't fly. Ill admit momentary interest, like on the internet I saw a picture of a whole bunch of stars taking a funny selfie, all crammed in one frame, laughing. That made me smile. But the only star I can even think of that makes me smile outside of her movies, is jennifer Lawrence. I don't keep up on celebrities aside from what I hear about them randomly, or whatever I stumbled across on Facebook or Whatever website I'm trolling through.


Also the whole 'Leo DiCaprio and his eternal quest for as Oscar' thing is pretty funny, but I hail from tumblr so I see a lot of that.

 

I freaking loved that movie! Definitely gonna watch it again soon. I thought the storyline was nothing too creative really. The creativity really is in all the visuals (not only the effects)! The few actors in it did not bother me in any way either :2thumbsup: I thought it was nothing short of fantastic, and I have not felt that in a long time after I watched a movie (but I did not watch many new movies either )

 

Yes, they are artists, but often the only people who really give a fuck about the skills that go into movies are, people who enjoy movies specifically. I do enjoy movies, but I certainly have other hobbies I put much more thought and effort into.

Yeah I love movies.... But they make so much more than i do, and I think thats a decent reward already.

It's like, an award show for children at their volleyball tournament.... Lots of families give a fuck what their child is going to win an award for. The child will probably be so proud to receive a plastic trophy of a figure playing volleyball, and put it on a shelf and their parents will brag to other parents.... The difference here is that, people who watch the Grammys or Whatever are the parents, at home, talking about things that have very little to do with them, aside from watching a movie. It's like cheering on professional sports.... Getting pumped and yelling when you have nothing to do with the actual act itself.


So its fully dependant of what angle you participate in, before we decide who the wanker is. I choose not to have a television, so I am a wanker for that. Others watch every awards show and love it. Pretty sure everyone is a wanker depending on how you perceive it.

 

I watch both television and avoid award shows. Is it really that hard to believe a lot of movie fans dig movies (and the skills of the actors in it) but don't give a shit about the awards they get for it, or how they look on the red carpet? That would make someone a wanker in my book :sunny:

 

Dammit were all wankers. But then, if someone expects me to give a fuck about someone elses skills, then they're a wanker too!

 

I can often give a fuck about skills but when they start expecting it I get in my contra-mode

 

what a typically gay thing to say.

I like and enjoy movies but absolutely abhor the hype and attention that is given to any entertainment personality, the culmination of that being the Oscars.

Sure there are very talented people out there in all areas of the entertainment industry, but is what they are doing such a vital contribution to warrant such attention and adulation?
I think not.

It's just a symptom of a developed civilization with a lot of free time on their hands.
If you had to work 16 hours a day to provide all your own food and needs, the Oscars and movies wouldn't mean shit.



I wonder how many people could get fed if the Oscars were melted down and exchanged for food. :sunny:

 

Haha, I'm wondering how many people that read his post thought the same... because I have to admit I did too :sunny:

 

Hey who you callin' a wanker?
The reason the awards are bogus is because it's completely about hollywood politics. There are great actors that don't get oscars simply because they are being blackballed by the committe. Oscars, Grammys, Rock 'n Roll hall of fame, etc... all fucking meaningless.

 

Yeah, awards are all politics and popularity at the moment.....
Where did Bette Davis and some of the others go?
I was not wowed by any of the dresses either.....

 

Can't be you? Because we seem to agree (this time :devil

 

Reading some of these posts got me thinking.....I bet I have not seen a single movie that was nominated for an award. Seriously.

 

I have not seen a single movie that wasn't, either.

It's YEARS since I've been to the cinema ... and I don't miss it.

I hardly ever watch television, either. Got better things to do :mickey:

 

We have a bunch of 'intellectual elitists' here, too good for movies. Jeebus.

 

I don't feel too good for movies, but most of them suck. Especially those highly predictable Hollywood productions.
I do watch one of those every now and then as a simple form of entertainment. I would, however, never pay to see one. That is below me. I rather spend that money on a good book or a quality meal.

 

Well, I do actually think I'm smarter than some people but it has nothing to do with movies. I don't watch many movies because I always fall asleep before the end of the movie. Almost every time. There are a few movies that I've been interested in seeing lately but just haven't.
