el 25-Feb-2007 | Last night my mom and I went to the movies, to see The Last King of Scotland. If you hadn't heard of it yet, now you have, and you should really get off your ass and see it. It's about Idi Amin Dada's rule in Uganda.
Great movie. I always kinda liked Forest Whitaker, but now he's one of my favorite actors ever. The white kid... James McAvoy, that's it, he wasn't bad either, but I think it's probably because he worked as eyecandy all throughout the movie.
Maybe that's one of the few things the Blonde Idiot liked about the movie.
When we got out, my mom and I were both startled at how Amin's personality resembles sometimes that of our current president. And then Blonde Idiot came down the stairs saying something like "I don't get what was so important with this movie, why is anyone getting an Oscar?"
*sigh*
That's the problem with Academy Awards. If an important movie that touches relevant subjects (like, say, genocide, dictatorships, injustice, mass murders, HISTORY, for cying out loud) manages to get nominated for an Oscar, a lot of people are bound to go.
I'm sure it's like that everywhere.
And one would think that's good propaganda for the movie, but then one would be fantastically wrong. Blonde Idiot is going to go around telling everyone that it's a boring movie about a bunch of black people getting killed a lot of years ago, that it's dull, and that the only parts worth watching are the white kid getting dressed, and the white kid getting laid.
She and her crew of morons around her were all actually wondering why the movie had been nominated for ANY kind of award, it being so boring and pointless and---- yes, at this point I really, really wanted to gouge Blonde Idiot's eyes out and put them in her hands and whisper something like "now try putting them back on".
Someone recently mentioned something about not paying attention to Academy Awards ever since Titanic won like a hundred of them.
But that's not necessarily how it should go. It is true that the movies that often win the Awards are blockbusters that didn't deserve it, like the aforementioned piece of cinematic bullshit, but sometimes it's not just crap that makes the cut.
In any case the Oscars are like everything else in Hollywood and shouldn't be taken that seriously. I mean, Blonde Idiot cares about them, which should be a heads-up for the rest of us.
