It's Not A Crime To Get Drunk.

Speaking Of Things That'll Make Your Head Explode, "dragon: The Bruce Lee Story" Finally Made It To The Drive-in

They'll Give You An Oscar If They Think You're About To Drop Dead. The Problem With The Oscars Is, The Average Age Of The Academy Is 84. They Wheel Those People In From Palm Springs And Hook Up Their Ivs And They Vote. The People That Go To Movies Are Under The Age Of 28, For The Most Part, So There's This Total Disconnect Between What The Academy Thinks Is A Great Movie And What The Audience Actually Wants To See.

I Always Remind People Why The Oscars Got Started In 1928: It Was An Effort By The Studios To Suppress The Unions. They Started The Academy Because All The Screenwriters And Directors And Actors Were Unionizing, And They Thought, "we'll Have Something That Resembles A Union, But That's Completely Controlled By The Moneyed Interests In Hollywood." That's What It's Been All These Years. It's Something That Reinforces Hollywood's Image Of Itself. The Best Picture One Year Was Gandhi. Nobody Watched Gandhi, But That's The Kind Of Picture That Always Wins.

Almost Every Venerable Tradition At A Men's Club Starts Out As A Joke.

The Movies That Are Honored At The Oscars Are Always A Certain Type: Old-fashioned. It's A Bunch Of Well-made, Old-fashioned Movies That Support Our Idea Of Ourselves. They Uplift The Human Spirit. That's Why Horror Films Never Even Get Nominated.
