Awful is the New Awesome
Sunday, March 5, 2006

This snippet taken from an article called:Awful is the New Awesome.
"Crash": Kids, racism is really really really bad and wrong. Look, just watch this heavy, important movie about how everyone who lives in Los Angeles — all 12 of them — is super racist and awful. There. Did you watch it and pay very close attention? Good. Do you now understand the message? Because if you don't then you're going to have to watch it again. With Oprah. She thinks it's as good as "Citizen Kane." She said so on her show.Why you should see it anyway: Because it's really funny when Hollywood decides to tackle a serious moral issue and throw star-powered weight behind something that everyone but Neo-Nazis agrees on already. To ice the Let's Pat Ourselves on The Back Cake, they'll probably give it Oscar too. I know the scene where Racism pushes Sandra Bullock down a flight of stairs deserves some kind of award.

And that dumb movie won best picture.

I feel dirty to be living in L.A.

I have to admit, I still want to rent the movie someday, perhaps partly because of all the conflicting things I've read about it. Or maybe I just want to see Racism push Sandra Bullock down a flight of stairs.
