I’m trying to think of a movie that I hated more. Or at least as much.

It is certainly in my Pantheon of Shite.

I used to work in the entertainment industry and in the last twenty years the Academy has been on the skids…they watch the movies under consideration on DVD, a step up from tape, at least they can now watch a film in the proper format, they are overly conscious of all the awards shows preceding the Oscars and now they have come up with a formula with ten nominees, a marketer’s wet dream that is sure to dilute the meaning of the award and one that is engineered to give blockbusters a better shot. The LA Times has a columnist who predicts Glorious Basterds will win the award. A cartoon of a film that is a mish mash of every war film ever made and a few stolen bits of Sergio Leon with ham fisted performances.

They say Crash won out of Liberal guilt and angst. I say it was a bad year all around, two biographies, a gay cowboy study and bloated look at jewish assassins righting the wrongs. For me the most polished film was Capote, that didn’t have a prayer.

Thank you!

I thought I was the only one who found this film to be annoying, preachy, and tedious. I’m always surprised how popular it seems to be.

Someone needs to tell the film makers that
A. Not everyone is a racist and
B. There are other problems in this world.

I agree with your comments. Another movie that struck me the same way was “District 9″. All the obvious analogies with race-based/alien-based bigotry. Then they make Nigerians the bad guys.

Hello vesey,

You wrote:”The fact that Libby makes her living writing about race is no less outrageous than this movie when it comes to race baiting and exploitation…”

How so?

I haven’t seen V2Z yet, so don’t ruin the ending for me.
I’d have put it “Crash” the same league as last decade’s “Life is Beautiful”. Give it a few years, watch it again, and wonder WTF we were thinking at the award shows.
