It’s that time of the year once more
When the motion picture industry
Pat them selves on their collective backs
And mark another year in their history
But when the time comes
How do we choose what to see?
Film reviews are little help
And critics add no clarity
Industry spokesmen and women
Film critics and film reviewers
Those who form the Oscar collective
Are of little use to film viewers
“Best picture Oscar” must be good
Well I fell in that trap
I watched “Gangs of New York”
And it turned out to be crap
Also I have found I am out of step
With the film critics view
So you have to decipher the code
That’s all you have to do
Just follow this simple guide
“Critically Acclaimed” = Crap
“Stunning cinematography” = No story
“Award winning soundtrack” = Artie crap
“Thought provoking” = No car chases
“Dark” = Badly lit
“Moving” = Alright for girls
“Moody” = Poor dialog and badly lit
“Oscar nominated” = Wasn’t good enough
“Poignant = Has no plot
“Oscar winning” = Over hyped
“Gritty” = They say fuck a lot
These simple tips may help
Save you wasting precious time
Watching an ill described film
Best designated as a crime
