Okay, so I finally watched Slumdog Millionaire. Though it was a great movie, it definitely did not deserve the best picture academy award. I'm not saying the other nominees were better, because they weren't, but there were much better movies in 2008 than this one. They just had to pick one that had a sort of indie rhythm added to it, and give the most awards to that one. The funny thing is that all the nominated movies' premieres were at most 2 or 3 months before the ceremony. So much about the most acclaimed award, right?
I've watched a lot of movies recently, but I've still got many left unwatched on my computer. I've rewatched Heat and Fight Club, and finally saw Twelve Monkeys which I've never seen before. Great movie. I've got some more I can cross off of my list, such as Bolt, Role Models, Finding Amanda and Synecdoche New York. The latter was probably the best as it was moving, interesting and abstract and it made me think about lots of things. Philip Seymour Hoffmann at his best. Bolt was really funny. Probably funnier than Wall-E, and mos def funnier than Madagascar 2. Role Models has a huge amount of quotable one-liners and Finding Amanda was entertaining too. Well, it was created by Peter Tolan so it couldn't have been anything less than entertaining. The pigeons were hilarious. The only movie (out of about 10) I didn't like was Milk. It was just boring. Sean Penn was great in his role though. And James Franco too.
Anywho, the point of this post is that Slumdog Millionaire is a good movie, and even if it did not deserve the best picture award, it absolutely deserved the best music award. It reminded me of Skins' music. The way it connects to the movie and how it brings life to it. I loved it. You can watch the Slumdog M. version of Paper Planes' music video below.
Oh yeah, I changed the picture on the top of the page. It's a wonderful view of Vancouver from Tegan's apartment. Imagine waking up to this view. How cool is that?
