Ewwww...Fucking ewwww...
This crap heap being #52 on IMDB's 100 best movies proves that people have no fucking clue what makes a good movie. I'm so sick of films that try to make some kind of commentary or statement (in this film's case,racism) based on pure stupidity and fucked up logic (cough CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST).
From the moment I saw the two black characters (the braided haired one in particular) cry and moan about white people thinking that just because they're black that they're the sterotypical criminals,then immediatly afterward rob a couple of their SUV by gunpoint,I knew I was in for a painful watch...and it only got worse and worse. Some truly stupid shit happens in this movie.
There is not one likeable character in the movie...not one. They're all dumbasses in some fashion.
I'll give the movie this,its well made...too bad the writting was hideous. Its a damn good thing I didn't see this in theaters,cause I was actually considering it during its run...god what a piece of shit.
2.5/5

www.joblo.com/reviews.php?mode=joblo_movies&id=12599/10?! 9/10?!? Are you fucking kidding me Joblo?!? What the fuck is wrong with people?! This is a bonifide piece of shit...and yet Joblo,a strict critic,gives it a 9/10?! Hey great points there Joblo...except for the fact that the film/characters sacrificed INTELLIGENCE and COMMON SENSE to make all these points. I can't and won't get caught up in the "emotional display" of the film when its FORCED by bad writting and shit characters. I see enough mind numbing stupidity and hypocricy in real life. What makes you think I want to see a movie with these types of blatently stupid characters,let alone think its worth a shit? Seriously what kind of dipshit mindlessly rambles on and on about how his fellow black man are ridiculously sterotyped and are so kept down by whitey,yet exemplifies every single reason why black people tend to be so sterotyped? What kind of dipshit risks his life and tries to play the race card in front of several cops,when the entire reason why he was stopped for speeding was due to a botched carjacking attempt that he could have very well have brought to the police's attention to get himself out of the mess (the carjacker was still in the passenger seat of the damn car)? What kind of dipshit would threaten to shoot a locksmith because his store got robbed after the locksmith repeatedly told him that a new lock wouldn't help and that he needed a new door (to which the store owner just kept replying "Fix the lock!","Then fix the fucking lock!","Get back here and fix my fucking lock!","I'm calling your supervisor cause you refuse to fix the lock!",etc etc)? I could go on and on and on. Yea yea I know,everybody has different tastes...but the way I see it is that bad writting is bad writting and that anybody who likes this shitpile needs smacked...

Well it seems I'm not alone in why I hate Crash as there is a large statement defending it and its big win tonight: www.joblo.com/index.php?id=10570Fact:Crash IS manipulativeDoesn't matter what other people found it to be when what they found it to be and the facts don't line up...Using the most braindead stupid people to get across the message that "everybody is a racist" IS flat out BLATENT manipulation. Paul Haggis COULD have made his characters more intelligent and do far less stupid shit,therefore making them appear more genuine and likeable (thereby supporting the message)...but he didn't,so therefore the movie and its message is a hunk of shit. I'm not gonna argue Crash being engaging to other people,cause thats entirely subjective...I will say on my end that because of the bullshit writting/characters and attempt at a racism social message,Crash ended up about as engaging as getting teeth pulled. With a movie such as this,yes it most certainly does... Or its called "you were duped into buying the film's message that used total morons to communicate it." Because of that large paragraphed statement,and you making an effort to say it isn't manipulative just because others SAY it isn't,its obvious to me that there ARE IN FACT LOTS of people out there that see the movie for what it really is...a trite manipulative piece of celluloid crap...and if there IS a significant group that didn't buy into its manipulative communication of the film message like I sure didn't,what does that say about those that did? I'll go ahead and answer that...it says they got duped

i thought of another way of looking at all this:
if Kefka really comes out against a movie, there is a good chance it will win an oscar or two.
which says a lot about your opinions on movies?

Or it could mean the Academy has shit taste... www.rottentomatoes.com/m/memoirs_of_a_geisha/One of the big winners of the Oscars...and it got mostly negative reviews by critics...Not saying its bad as I haven't seen it,but something like this makes you wonder...

It deservedly won the costume, art, and cinematography awards, the only awards it won. The movie itself is disappointing to say the least, which is why it didn't get any major noms and got bad reviews. So in this case it doesn't make me wonder, but Crash beating four much more superior films for best picture sure as fuck does. Blah...
