"Crash" Sucks.

I'm not a film critic, so I can leave it at that without having to explain myself. I'm trying to see every oscar nominated movie this year before I throw my gay cowboy party.

So I netflixed Crash which is nominated for best picture and best director. What a waste. I seriously can't believe it's nominated for anything at all.

Before the noms were announced, people told me Crash was like Magnolia. Boy were they wrong. "If you liked Magnolia you'll like Crash" they said. Yeah right, Crash is nothing like Magnolia.

To me it was almost unwatchable, with bad, bad performances all around. Do we really need to sit through this condescending morality play about racism in L.A? Cause the movie is about racism in L.A. not America. I felt like I was in 4th grade, sitting in detention, forced to watch some public service film, teaching me the consequences of, well... whatever.

I understand the filmakers were trying to point out the wrongs of racism in our society, and how one thing you do can bite you in the ass later, but aside from that, the film is just horrible! Totally contrived and unbelievable. Magnolia was more believable to me, and that movie had raining frogs in it!
