The Oscars

Here's my beef this week. I was very upset that Christopher Nolan wasn't nominated for best director. The Dark Knight was the biggest Blockbuster since Titanic. Heath Ledger gave the best performance of his career which he won an Oscar for. You can't get a good performance out of an actor unless you have a good director. Christopher Nolan deserved to at least be recognized for his accomplishment, if not with an Oscar, at least with an Oscar nomination. That's my beef this week and I'm sticking to it.

The New Street Fighter Movie

Here's my beef this week. My wife and I went to go see Taken last weekend which is an excellent action movie you should check out. If you like the Bourne movies you'll like this one. Anyway, one of the previews that they showed was for Street Fighter the Legend of Chun-Li. I can't believe they are making another street fighter movie. You would think they would have learned from the last street fighter movie they made with Jean Claude Van Dam. This only goes to prove that Hollywood has no originallity left. They can't come up with any fresh ideas so they have to remake another horrible movie. Why make another street fighter movie? I could see making it if it's a popular game among kid and teens right now but it's not. If you ask any kid or teenager what street fighter is they wouldn't know. Instead of wasting millions of dollars on movies that have no originality they should spend the money on fresh films. Because people are tired of the same mundane movies. It wouldn't surprise me if in a couple of months I see a trailer for another Mortal Kombat movie.

Super Bowl Comercials

Here's my beef this week. The Superbowl is a time that I actually look forward to watching commercials. I get my food ready during the game and when there's a commercial on I run into see it. The commercial weren't up to par this Superbowl. You would think if you're going to have a commercial in the biggest game of the year you would want to make it memorable because you just spent a ton of money for 30 seconds of air time. You of course had your good commercials which were mostly the beer ads and the commercials that you forgot 2 seconds later after you saw it. I work for Overstock.com. They had a commerciall in the Superbowl with Carlos Boozer. They spent a ton of money on this commercial which is probably why we didn't get a big bonus this year. jk The commercial was boring. I was expecting something good because of the hype of the Superbowl commercials. I was let down. By my own company for heavens sake. How many people outside of Utah know Carlos Boozer? I don't think very many. Don't get me wrong, I like working for Overstock. I just think they need to change how they are marketing their company. Hopefully next year If they have another commercial in the Superbowl I won't be let down and hopefully next year the commercials will be up to par. That's my beef and I'm sticking to it.
