Movies and TV Shows

My BFF didn't either and it baffles me.

Am I strange for never having ever heard of it until just a few days ago?

Not strange at all. I feel like we are always getting pushed to liking things that are overhyped. The movie did trigger my emotions so for me it was amazing; that's the beauty of films what you might like I won't and it's ok.

Not sure I can watch hot dog finger scenes again... So once and done for me.

What movie from last year did you think deserved to be "best picture"?

Same. I generally like sci-fi stuff and like weird, reality bending stuff, but I just found the movie OK. Not bad, I still liked it, but not on whatever level it was getting placed on by pop culture. I understood everything happening in the movie, I wasn’t lost ever. I’m assuming this was being done by the Hollywood hype machine, desperate for a hit. I feel like this happens every other year or so where I’ll notice a movie comes out that everyone is talking about. Alot of times the movie comes out late in the year, but then almost instantly gets a big award, which will then get added to the trailers. It’s like, waitaminute, was there really nothing else good that came out this year or is this movie actually that good? I suspect there’s some sort of Hollywood pay-to-play system at work where studios buy out spots or something on movies they’re trying to hype up.
