Oh Golden Statue, How You Bore Me



Well, it's nigh on OZKAR time again friends.

Blah, blah, blah. And the nominees are:

On one hand, a bunch of boring fucking dramas nobody gives two shits about!
And on the other, another bunch of boring fucking dramas everybody went to see!

"I can't believe they got that nasty Ellen Degenerate woman to host. Well, you know she'll just make a lot of jokes that only those types like her will understand. A woman in my pilates class watches her, but think she's just terrible."

The real point of my bringing all this up is that I watched Pan's Labyrinth.



It got nominated for a ton of shit and everybody's been going crazy for it because it's the only non-Almodovar, spanish language movie ever made not featuring a busty nurse or a masked wrestler.

I thought it was just ok, frankly. The basic premise is that a little girl in Spain in 1945 has a shitty life and her step-dad is a fascist military commander, brutally loyal to Franco. Then some magical shit happens. Then there's about thirty minutes of stuff about the Spanish Civil War, then the more magical shit happens, and then some people get tortured by the army, then some more magical shit happens, and then it's over.

It looked ok, except for the fact that del Torro uses an icky blue filter for everything that happens outside, which I think is the most overdone thing on earth. It makes everything look an episode of CSI:NY.

Anyway, this movie was ok, you could go see it if you wanted.
