AND THE BEST PICTURE IS

 

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
