Pic of the Day: “You know, you look pretty good for your age.” “Thanks, but I’m seeing someone in wrapping.”
Pic of the Day: “Oh Dudley, I never know when you are joking.” “Ah, I am at my most serious when I’m joking.”
Pic of the Day: “My dad says snow causes heart attacks.” “He must have snow confused with chili dogs. Any other questions?”
Pic of the Day: “Don’t forget the Grinch. I know he’s mean and hairy and smelly. His hands might be cold and clammy, but I think he’s actually kinda… sweet.” “Sweet?! You think he’s sweet?” “Merry Christmas, Santa.” “Nice kid… baaad judge of character.”
The Oscar Quest: Reconsidered (Best Actor, 2013-2014)
The Oscar Quest began in May of 2010. I finished about fifteen months later, and wrote it up for this site. That was essentially the first thing I did on here. Five years have passed since then. I’ve grown as a person. My tastes have changed, matured (or gotten more immature, in some cases). So it feels fitting, on the five year anniversary of the site and of the Oscar Quest, to revisit it.
I want to see just how my opinions about things have changed over the past five years. I didn’t do any particular work or catch-up for this. I didn’t go back and watch all the movies again. Some I went back to see naturally, others I haven’t watched in five years. I really just want to go back and rewrite the whole thing as a more mature person, less concerned with making points about certain categories and films than with just analyzing the whole thing as objectively as I can to give people who are interested as much information as possible.
This is the more mature version of the Oscar Quest. Updated, more in-depth, as objective as possible, less hostile. You can still read the old articles, but know that those are of a certain time, and these represent the present. (more…)
Pic of the Day: “What’s that sound?” “That was the sound of a tool chest, falling down the stairs.” “Oh.”
