my mood today is: ugh

[angelgazing]

So... if you were going to write an imaginary essay... what movie would you say did/did not deserve an Academy Award/nomination and why in three points?

I may have mentioned this before, but I fucking hate homework.

UGH.

Also, I wrote fic? But it was absolutely nothing on my to-do list. The zombie plague apocalypse fic continues to not have a plot, because plot is hard. And Vic pointed me toward tobreakthespell so, yeah, I was up way too late reading fairy tales (or their summaries, at least, can anyone point me to a place to read the actual Grimm fairytales free online?) instead of, you know, doing things I should be doing. Like sleeping.

I fail to understand the obsession my teachers have with making me think s hard about movies. I don't think I'd have to focus on them this much in an actual film appreciation class.

UGH.

OMFG DUDE. SERIOUSLY? I could probably mention like five fucking million movies that did or did not deserve fucking Academy Awards. Do Emmys count? Cos I'm fairly sure you could explain why Tampon Braun DID NOT DESERVE A FUCKING DAYTIME EMMY.

Dude, these kinds of assignments are made of win. I do not understand the problem here.

NO. MOVIES ONLY. Academy Awards! GIVE ME A MOVIE A THREE REASONS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

LA Confidential should have won the academy award for Best Picture because it was a fantastic movie that adapted a complicated novel into a slightly less complicated but no less compelling movie. Fucking Titanic didn't deserve to win - sure it had cool special effects and huge box office, but the love story was pedestrian and cliched.

lol I think I may have to go with Titanic not deserving its win for sheer suckitude. God, that was an awful, awful movie.

I... still have not seen LA Confidential, though I've only heard good things.
