Anti-Oscar

[sleepymaggie]

Pat and I decided that the best way to spend Oscars night was to go see a really horrible movie. Don't ask me why this makes sense -- my logic is excellent!

So we saw Ultraviolet. Yes it was that bad. But, it was bad in a way that was funny -- possibly even intentionally. It had some redeeming qualities: the tech in the movie was very interesting and I think worth sitting through all the bad. Anyways, it would have made the perfect video game plot: split into tiny cut sequences in between lots of fighting it wouldn't be that bad.

So how did them Oscars go?

Edit: I think I'm going to make this a regular holiday (much in the vein of Halloween in July). What better day to go see a movie than Oscars night? Guaranteed to be almost noone in the theater because a) the Oscars are on and b) its a sunday night. And I think it'll have to be a bad movie too. This is the part of the year when a lot of bad films come out.

I need a snazzy name though. Suggestions?

Aside from Jon Stewart making a shitload of jokes that people didn't understand (I thought he was fabulous, but apparently most critics didn't) it really wasn't that great. A lot of expected wins and then the Best Picture award was... crap. *shrugs*

Oh well. I can't think of a name for your snazzy new holiday but if I come up with one, I'll let you know. :)

I want to see ultraviolet, it looks like so much cheesy fun!
