I have agreed with the oscars twice since

66.183.237.21

1990. This was not one of those two. There were two occasions that they picked something that was at least in my top 5. Oddly people get on American Beauty which was one of them I think they got right. Perhaps because I could relate to Lester in a lot of ways - at least on the job market. It certainly was Atypical of what oscar usually lets win - so I'm a bit puzzled by the animosity it gets from people who think they know something about film as art.

LOTR is more spectical than it is deep and social relevance or insight are often a real strain and stretch for writer's to argue. It simply is paper thin with an arc that doesn't house 9 hours. It's too long, too preachy, to distanced, too silly to be a masterpiece.

The other two 11 award winners are Ben Hur a horrendous pile of dog dung if there ever was for a best picture and the incredibly banal Titanic (Though I confess to enjoying Titanic if I imagine the dialogue a different way). Cameron needs to write women better because The Terminator was a vastly superior Romance picture.
