Rant in C Flat
I completely lost it when I heard that Slumdog Millionaire had won the Oscar for best movie. That f**king "masala" movie has imposed itself into every media outlet in this country and one can't spend an hour without it being mentioned at least once, and Anil Kapoor's ugly mug has been a regular feature on many of these news channels. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that it had a predominantly Indian cast, but so what? Just because its "exotic" doesn't mean that its the best movie of the year. The fact that it beat out a far superior movie (Milk) was the absolute last straw. Slumdog may have won the Oscar for best picture, but Milk has to be the best movie of the year.
On to other things. Bernie Madoff. Where do I even start with this guy? The largest investment fraud ever committed by a single person, and he's still happily chilling out in his New York penthouse. And then he spends $10 million on gifts for his family last Christmas, in the midst of an ongoing case. Maybe they should make a movie on him, "Scumbag Billionaire" it could be called. What does it take for a human being to perpetrate such a massive crime? Moral bankruptcy? Check. Depraved Indifference? Check. Obscene Selfishness? Check.
Next, the Mangalore pub attacks. The Ram Sene are scum and I'll leave it at that. But, the journalists who were present at the pub, eagerly taping the carnage are a special breed of evil. These f**kers were notified before hand by the moral police that they would be going to "Amnesia" and beating up women, but not a single one of them reported this to the police since that exclusive scoop is obviously far more important than protecting young women from physical violence.
What else? There have been talks of marijuana legalization in some countries because of the ongoing recession. Dream on stoners, its not going to happen, not in our lifetime anyway.
On a more positive note, the late Heath Ledger won the Oscar for best supporting actor for his portrayal of the Joker. This, for me, was the best moment of the entire show. His family accepted the award on his behalf, and I loved the fact that nobody started bawling like a baby, and that there was only appreciation and fond memories for Ledger as an actor.
