Oscar Thoughts

 Okay. Nobody asked for this and probably nobody will care what I thought about the Oscars. Hint: you might not like me after this.

First let me say this - I did not watch the Oscars. I'm aware of a lot that happened and have seen enough Youtube clips to make a very uninformed opinion.

I only saw 3 of the nominated films:
Oppenheimer
Maestro
and Barbie

Where to begin?

Maestro - Worth seeing once, but I don't care to see it again.

Barbie - actually waited and did the Redbox for Barbie. I didn't want to pay the cost to see it in the theater. Small screen was more than adequate. If you can overlook the blatantly in you face (or shoved down your throat) woke, anti-male, feminist messages (which were fairly hypocritical) then it was a mindless popcorn show.
I did see a few seconds of Billie Eilish singing. Sorry people, but she's not a good singer. Maybe someday I will make a post about how most of the popular singers are just no-talent.

Oppenheimer - Would have been better if it wasn't a story told in such a non-linear style. And would have been better if we didn't see Cillian Murphy naked. That man is ugly without clothing. And Florence Pugh's character was pathetic and also unattractive. 

I didn't see any of the other movies but I might someday. A couple I will never see because the people involved are idiots,

Lastly, I wonder what it is with so many movies trying to be artsy-fartsy non-linear stories. Maybe it's a device to get us to see a movie multiple times so we can figure out what the hell is going on and how everything fits together.

Okay, that's it. As always the opinions expressed are only my own and not the opinions of the management of this theater.
