Oscar Pissing Statue

The weather is turning to nice, school is still in session, and the Oscars are right around the corner. But still, this has got to be by far the worst ever weekend of new movies released by Hollywood. I meant to blog about this at the start of the weekend, but didn't. But I cannot believe how much shit just got released this weekend. Which movie deserves the the Statue of Oscar the Grouch Pissing In His Garbage Can for worst movie of 2004?

Seriously, consider this. If you had to see any of the movies released this weekend, which would it be? Welcome to Mooseport? What are you thinking Gene Hackman? Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen? Eurotrip? Against the Ropes?

Cripes. I guess I'd choose, ummmmm, uh, wow, let's see, uh Against the Ropes because I like sports.

Thankfully I purchased Seabiscuit and American Splendor on DVD a few weeks back. I watched American Splendor last night and Seabiscuit is in the hopper for tonight.

By the way, American Splendor is a GREAT movie in terms of form, writing, visual, and thematic terms. It's a movie not just for comic book fans, but for anyone muddling through live's daily doldrums and stress, dreaming of bigger things to come (in other words, it's a movie for everyone).
