that's as good as the Oscars get, everybody. they must've let a genius loose in the poster department.

think back to the bullshit marketing they've put out in recent years. the  most embarrassing one being the poster that had all the "iconic" movie lines,  such as the oft quoted "Frodo!" ... it was humiliating to admit to anyone you were into movies that year.

this one is fun and captures in a dignified way the only thing the Oscars were ever good for, the accumulation of useless trivia. 

so where can I buy it?

It's Olly Moss. Wasn't sure this was the "official" one but if it is, that's pretty cool.

it's obviously a bum taking advantage of oscar week to rustle up some cash!


I'd give him a dollar.



we just went from the very top to the absolute bottom of Oscar posters.

Where I both vent and try to add a little perspective to the Oscars.

"try not to take the whole thing too seriously."
this is said 1039 words into the article. lol. including titles though, maybe that's cheating. plus "the other side" of this argument is as boring as any other side. it's just boring conversation. i wonder who'll win tonight

'cause today is the ultimate day of movie cattiness, i want to say you fucked up by including darling in the "bad" section. like, major fuck up.

i think you fucked up with some others in both the good and bad list, but by only mentioning darling i'm hoping to emphasize how much you fucked up that particular call. i'd also bet a fiver you haven't watched a lot of movies in that bad list, and that you used this fact, plus a lack of a legacy, as the basis for their inclusion, rather than a personal experience with the movie

Never said there was a good and bad, read the post.

Now, some of these are good films and some are very good but few would argue that those selections stack up against the previous list.

I think my point is pretty clear. There are countless films that were nominated (some completely undeserving, some all but forgotten) and even more great movies that weren't recognized whose snub doesn't affect their legacy in the slightest.

TL;DR version: the Oscars are irrelevant and always have been.

yeah, copy you on your point modage. i'm making a subpoint about your fuckup for listing darling in the second section. you might be shocked to do a little googling and discover the reaching impact of darling on modern directors

but i'm just being catty, anyway

oscars are lame.
