No. Remember kids, hollywood hates good movies that people actually give a damn about *wink wink*
This year was a letdown for me, but much better than 2007. I Mean wow, what a terrible year with the triple threequels disapointing and the simpsons being terrible also. But then again, stardust was released that year.. And that movie was probably the best movie nobody saw besides some comedies nobody saw (hot rod, etc.)
Oh, and for anybody who wanted to know, Ghost town ROCKED. |
You can't judge the quality of movies in the year just by judging the summer blockbusters and pretty much everything else that wasn't nominate for Oscars or any other awards (like Stardust and Hot Rod). That's like saying that Disney World sucked when you only visited one or two of the different parks in Disney World.
And frankly if people are going to forget about any movies a few decades from now it is going to be the summer blockbusters (with some exceptions). You don't see Top Gun on any critics Top Ten lists (although Top Gun has been surprisingly tenacious in rearing its ugly head in our collective memory).
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
