It's way worse than Forrest Gump

Crash is by far the worst but American Beauty and Shakespeare in Love are surely up there.

The important thing to remember about Art Spiegelman doing Maus is that it was something he did in his spare time, as his day job was working at Topps on the Garbage Pail Kids.

The text isn't really important here (it's just a tepid burn on anti-vaxxers), but what the gently caress is going on with the left person's mouth?

I was thrown off because I didn't know what 'Impfen' meant, thought perhaps it was imps, and I honestly don't believe in them either, but it's vaccination. It's an anti-anti-vaxxx comic.

I only remember that one because it apparently beat out Apocalypse Now. Also because of Australian political satire radio show How Green Was My Cactus.

The Oscars in general are just vulnerable to movies that relentlessly suck off bougie boomers.

The 90s and 00s especially had quite of lot of those best picture winners where 20 years later other nominations are way more highly regarded.

Crash is easily the worst winner of all time though, the 2000s were peak "omg racism is so bad aren't we progressive for admitting it?' for the Academy.

Apocalypse Now was made in the 1940s?

Anyway, here's something that made me chuckle:

Mixing up How Green Was My Valley with Kramer vs Kramer is a common mistake.

...that doesn't involve homeless people.

I always mix up Crash with David Cronenberg's Crash, which would have made for a better Best Picture.

My understanding is it's not really a bad movie, it just beat Citizen Kane and Maltese Falcon which are both undisputed masterpieces. Crash is legit bad. I haven't seen it in two decades, but I remember Shakespeare in Love being like fine, cute even, if a little unremarkable.

Shakespeare in Love is a mediocre romcom that beat Saving Private Ryan and The Thin Red Line for best picture because of Harvey Weinstein.

I thought the crab was going to go on a training montage and kick sand in the bully's face at the end. It had a more melancholic denouement, I was deeply moved.
