Best picture
WINNER: Birdman
American Sniper
Boyhood
The Imitation Game
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Selma
The Theory of Everything
Whiplash
Anyone tried actually watching Birdman? I mean yeah, it ticks all the Oscar boxes no doubt. But as a piece of entertainment? Maybe if you are on hallucinogens. So what's the criteria for best picture? Most luvvies packed into a confined space?
American Sniper?
You have just got to be kidding. This horrendous piece of racist film trash is nothing more than a string of lies glorifying a psychopathic serial killer. The truth about this film has long since been exposed. Isn't it amazing how racism can be greeted with open arms in one instance while being reviled in another? Make up your minds please, establishment gatekeepers. Okay, politics and rank hypocrisy are maybe not criteria so leave them aside. What about the film as a piece of entertainment? Well how sick in the head do you need to be to come away from this movie and say wow, I really enjoyed that? For flag waving morons undoubtedly it is a great watch. For sentient individuals, not so much. Makes you wonder who's on the judges panel. Can't be bothered to look tbf.
Boyhood - didn't see it.
The Imitation Game. It was okay, standard stuff. Watchable at least.
Grand Budapest Hotel. I have been avoiding this one, not sure why. Maybe unfair but it's not something I feel compelled to watch.
Selma. Routine stuff.
The Theory of Everything. Daniel Day Lewis has been there, done that. A boring rehash trading on the name of somebody notable to tell the story of somebody who doesn't have much to say.
Whiplash - As a story, as a film, as an experience, better than anything I've actually seen on that list. Better than the rest too, I'd put money on it. Roughly speaking, better by a factor of ten.
Interstellar was no 2001 but at least it encourage thought in places. It didn't just drag you along to be wanked on by the director. But it can't get on a list that features American Sniper? Excuse me, but what?

MrsL watched it on the plane to Las Vegas.
Wasn't impressed. Nothing much happens, apparently.
Just seen that Doogie Howser was host!
He's a gay, you know.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Go on then... who?

Really?! It was a show about this kid, Doogie Howser, who was also a doctor.
That was pretty much it, as a premise.
Neil Patrick Harris played the title role.
NPH is awesome tbh.
Despite being one of them.

Not as an Oscar host, apparently. I've not seen him in anything recently. Doogie Howser was awlsome though.
