"Well, you're right. "The Tale of Princess Kaguya," "Only Lovers Left Alive," "Two Days, One Night," "Mr. Turner," "P'tit Quinquin," and "We Are the Best" weren't nominated, so there's no chance they're going to award my favorite film of the year."
And?
"So your theory is that anyone who likes Oscar movies (none of which are particularly obscure) - or anyone who seeks out movies that don't open at 3000 theaters and make $500 million - isn't real? Fascinating. So basically anything foreign and/or indie is just for poseurs - the only legitimate movies (because they're the only ones "mass audiences" care about) are Hollywood productions with $200 million production budgets and massive advertising campaigns."
Nope.
"Man, I like most of the Best Pic nominated films this year (even if I can fully agree that the Oscars as a whole are kind of silly and overly political.) I'm so sad to learn that I'm not a real person."
Real moviegoers are the ones that don't see all the Best Picture nods. People like you are not the reason there are big openings on weekends. It's the general public...the real people...not the fanatics who see films just to say they saw them. Just as you're doing here.
"Yes, I'm sure there are people who will disagree with your condescending, uninformed rhetoric. Isn't that just awful? Incidentally, it's kind of funny that you have the temerity to turn around and call someone else "a grumpy old man who has nothing better to do than be a bitter betty online."
Something about motes and beams comes to mind."
As you try to do remove what is in my eye while having something in your own. Oh the hypocrites must be clapping for you.
It is funny that you think your opinion should matter while trying to make sure mine doesn't. Too bad you mean nothing more than words on a screen. If only you realized that.
"Also, just for the record, your attitude is exactly what is wrong with Hollywood today."
Also, just for the record, your opinion is less valuable than a homeless person's. And, by the way, I would listen to the homeless person's view on the best movie of the year than you.
It's not condescension when you actually look at post history. You're just shoehorning your way in and you can, but not where I'm concerned. I won't cater to your needs.
