I've spent over 10 years on Mopo, and every year it's the same thing.
The show sucks, everybody watches it anyway, and then whines about it
the next day.
Man, I LOVE to bitch, kvetch and raise my voice in righteous indignation
at the mediocrity being broadcast every year, but at some point, I made
the decision to (drum roll)....
QUIT WATCHING.
I started doing this 4-5 years ago and watching a couple really, really
good films instead. It's 15 hours of my life I didn't piss away,
and..well, last night, I watched A STAR IS BORN.... which I had never
seen...on TCM. Lovely movie; the color was lush, the sound wonderful,
and Garland was heartbreaking. I then watched MIDNIGHT IN PARIS, which I
also loved. (If I was transported back to that time, I'd immediately
find where Django Reinhardt was playing, get me a big bottle of
Absinthe, and settle in for some serious guitar playing while green
fairies danced around my head.) Than I watched my favorite guilty
pleasure, THE WALKING DEAD. (Nathalie, do NOT watch this show, sweetie.
You'll be in a rubber room forever.)
A pal of mine defines insanity as "doing the same thing over and over
and and expecting different results". Sounds like the Oscars to me. I
love my MOPO pals. Stop hurting yourselves before I have to do an
intervention on you.
