Off of the catholic scene for a while. But still on my basic philosophy.
Two groups of people hurt the arts. First: The snob who looks and sees what others like and then makes sure he (THE SNOB) doesn't like it.
Second:The connoisseur: He gives no reason for his judgments but his own taste.
This year Oscar best picture may be a big surprise. "Slumdog" would win the most votes from the film going public, BUT, there's the rub. The snob sees its popularity and won't be caught dead really liking this movie. They like "Button" because a majority don't like it. It's all very simple. Plus since "Button" has won almost nothing, what an upset!!!
The connoisseur? Well he thinks all Oscar movies are just trash. His favorite is any Coatian movie about dwarfs.
