We’ll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone.
Dear Oscars and the Academy of Motion Pictures,
I always watch your award show every year. I do not know why I do this. It is probably because of me trying to desperately hang on to my dreams of becoming a famous film director back when I was young and stupid. Well after 2010, I will watch you no longer. Your show is beyond embarrassing. Your choices are irrationally bad. Making time for a blatantly cheesy dance number instead of giving that time to your winners so they can have the chance to make an acceptance speech is a sign of total disrespect. You, your industry, and your products are a sham.
Insincerely,
Punch Gun
P.S. Thanks for not letting Avatar win Best Picture
Stop making re-makes. Stop taking anime/manga properties and turning them into live-action films. Stop making dumb casting decisions. Stop making sequels and prequels that will make me pine for the original. Stop putting Keanu Reeves in sci-fi flicks (especially if he’s going to be dressed in a black suit and tie throughout the duration of the film). Stop trying to fool me into thinking that the flick starring Mr. A-List Actor is an independent. And one more thing…stop making films that waste two hours of my life just so I can watch the surprise ending that isn’t really surprising.
