I've enjoyed every Charlie Chaplin film I've watched more than "The Artist."

I think The Artist is underrated at this point, seeing as how the only thing people say about it is that it was a terrible choice for Best Picture. It is a fine film, IMO, and people forget that.

It was a weak year or the rest of the nominees were weak that year. It happens

It was the weakest year in recent memory, I think. I think A Separation was the best film of that year. I also liked Hugo, Take Shelter, Tree of Life, and Martha Marcy May Marlene about as much as I did The Artist.

As an actor, I can't say I particularly love movies about acting. What I loved about Birdman was that it used the idea of an acting career to examine this guys self-loathing and regret. I liked that it used performance as a nearly spiritual exercise for him to come to terms with his life. The acting part might have made it more accessible to me, but I think that's it. |

The main reason it's bullshit is injecting competition into an artist endeavor is lunacy. It's all completely subjective. Plus, how do you adequately compare Birdman to Boyhood to Selma? You don't. They are what they are. I might like one more than the next, but trying to actually award a film the title of "best picture" is asinine. It's fun to watch famous people get dressed up and talk about their work. It's fun to reflect on a year of filmmaking. (Some years more than others) But why people get so worked up over it all is beyond me.

This was probably one of the dumbest movies I have ever seen-it is bad.
Stupid drums playing off beat through the whole show. Could be one of the Worst of all time-perplexed how this won for Best Everything in the World????? Horrible!! |

This movie was so far up its own ass it was disgusting.
I enjoyed parts of it but as a whole, it was very VERY boring. How many times did I need to see the same hallway? FFS I thought my internet crashed during one scene. They held the camera on a long hallway view for like, 30 seconds. They had a good idea but it just did not deliver. Not the worst movie I've seen but not deserving of so many awards, either. |
