I’m looking forward to wasting my evening tomorrow, watching the Academy Awards. All I ask is that Mickey Rourke doesn’t win.<\/p>\n

But first, let me review The Changeling<\/strong> for anyone who missed it. Not surprisingly, it’s all about Angelina Jolie’s lips. I’m not joking here; the Lips should get an award, but not Angelina, whose acting is painfully bad throughout.<\/p>\n

But the Lips! Jesus! They fill the entire shot whenever Angelina appears. Coated in an eerily fluorescent deep red lipstick, they are like a pair of giant blow fish. They look like they have eaten most of her face. In fact, perhaps the Lips are some kind of parasite and her face is the host.<\/p>\n

Angelina looks frail and exhausted from hoisting those Lips around from scene to scene, but she gamely tries to act worried and\/or miserable by flapping her bony hands.<\/p>\n

The movie is congealed in period set decoration, with its escalating melodrama almost secondary to the 20’s era flotsam and jetsam. The story is much darker than I expected, so let this be a warning for anyone sensitive to images of serial killers chasing after little boys with an axe. In the end, the Lips look happy, after all they’ve been through.<\/p>\n

Now, as for Mickey Rourke, I haven’t seen The Wrestler<\/strong> but seeing Mickey Rourke win his Golden Globe was more than enough for me. His comeback and his douchey Pimp outfits are way too over-the-top, and it’s making me sick. I can’t remember why we’re supposed to feel sorry for Mickey Rourke! Is it because his acting career flamed out, or because he screwed his face up? \u00a0 Does anyone remember when he was arrested for beating up his girlfriend?<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

Just make him go away. His whole stupid Bruised Macho shtick is already old now and it’s time for him to move on. And don’t get me started on that Darren Aronofsky! Ugh! What a fucking cunt ! \u00a0 His Movie Requiem for a Dream<\/strong> was a fucking crime against humanity.<\/p>\n

Okay, so enjoy the Awards show or just wait for my Awards Show Exegesis on Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
