Standards down the poop hole
As I was sitting on Beau's bed channel surfing on the telly, I couldn't help but tune in on the latter half of the 2010 MTV Movie Awards. What piqued my interest was Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrel dangling about fifteen feet above the stage as Eva Mendes, Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson were about to present the award for Best Villian. I thought, "What are these cheeseballs up to now?"
Mark kept on complaining to Will how he wanted to land on top of Eva (har har har) while Will was trying to reason that they were going to make a cool entrance...which they obviously failed (and staged) to do. They then proceeded to spurt out some F bombs and other profanity while the audience laughed merrily at their mid-air performance.
Btw, Tom Felton won best villian. I don't have anything against Harry Potter, but I thought Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds) deserved the title. He was such a villian.
But..OH MY GOD. HARRY POTTER!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Throwing out curse words, innuendos, and lame jokes is what you guys call entertainment these days? Case in point, Rhianna's new song, "Rude Boy." Heard of it? It's a song about sex. It's a song about her asking her boy if he can get it up. It's a song about whether her boy is big enough and take it. Rhianna...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ;_; WHAT'S HAPPENED TO YOU?! Another singer turned sex kitten. Another case in point: Miley Cyrus. Can't be tamed? Party in the USA? Seriously? One day you're singing about wholesome, family-values crap and now you're out wiggling your cooch for millions of horny eighteen-year-olds and pedophiles to see. Both are catchy-as-all-hell songs, but the propriety in the music videos is almost nonexistent.
..well, I guess propriety is relative. Eh.
Miley's under-aged, which means that daddy Cyrus has to be close to supervise her while she works. Can you imagine how extremely awkward it would be to have your dad watch you perform racy choreography for your audience? Ugh O.O
Anyway, back to the MTV awards. Any category that had Twighlight or Harry Potter as nominees, it was pretty much expected that Twilight or Harry Potter was going to win. Lame. I think Twilight beat Avatar and The Hangover for Best Movie. Say what!?
It's only the MTV Movie Awards, so they don't mean shit. But I'm kinda irked about these "winners" because they were voted for by the general public. It just came to show how most people don't realize what's good cinema anymore. Standards are pretty low. Twilight is widely fan-based. It's just a creation to rake in as much money as humanely possible, without paying much attention to plot, acting, or..well, plot. And acting. It's based on a book, yada yada yada, Book to screen adaptations generally fail, but Twilight won. Harry Potter won. Why? Because they're so hot. Any tween would die a thousand deaths to be touched by Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. HEHEHEHE.
Draco was a lame, wimp of a villian, but so hot. You can use my body for your Expecto Patronus charm. Hehehe.
So hot. They deserve to win everything. 'Cause they're so hot. I'm saying this with a lisp. It's just funnier that way.
You can tell how the quality of cinema deteriorated by watching movies from a couple decades back. Linda has been renting movies from the '50s-'60s, and they were gooood. I will say Audrey Hepburn is an exceptionally good actress. She's amazing.
Anyway, the movies we've seen were wholesome and just..cool. There's an issue about cursing back in the day; I think the MPAA (?) frowned upon profanity. That was a good move.
Now, fast forward to the present: "This is fucking stupid" is apparently funnier than "This is stupid."
Hehehehe.
