Hollywood is like McDonald's, cheap and fast. I not longer trust them to
cater for my spiritual needs. I am older and wiser and I hate it when noisy
bombs stops me from falling asleep when I am watching a new Rambo saving the
world. Give the hero MRSA or tell him to play dead! Or give me a gun so that I
can put him out of his misery and let the world fall asleep.

There has been a Hollywood strike recently and unfortunately they will reach
a compromise in order to dump more rubbish on the worlds cinemas. There is no
escape from that, is there? No wonder why young people want to become an
actress, a footballer or a celebrity instead of a doctor or an engineer. I
remember when after 9/11 , tough-guy actors such as Bruce Willis and Arnold
Schwarzenegger were refusing to fly with British Airways. Let alone go to Iraq
and save ...something.
Talking about Art, today I clicked again my royal mouse on Cannes Film Festival link. The winner is 4 Months, 3 Weeks and
2 Days, a low budged film from Romania. I had to check what McDonald's thinks
of it.
Quote : Oscar Shuns 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days
Oscar
foreign film committee head Mark Johnson's worst fear has been confirmed. The
nine films advancing to the next round of voting in the Foreign Language Film
category for the 80th Academy Awards do not include Cristian Mungiu's lauded
Romanian abortion drama 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days, which won the Palme d'Or at
Cannes and the European Film Award, as well as landing on many ten best
lists.
Something is terribly wrong. The definition of arts for Europeans and
Americans clearly are not identical. Who should we trust when buying an over
priced cinema ticket? Hollywood is the historical center of movie studios and
movie stars, reflecting what film lovers want to see. They have produced few
good films.
Europe.Old Europe is the birthplace of Western culture and everything can be
traced back to Europe. I am proud that Europe doesn't do McDonald's. As for
myself, my winner is the girl from the picture.
