  1. A membership and therefore the right to vote can be bought.

    And votes can't be bought for Oscar nominations and wins? There are people employed year round who are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to 'buy' nominations for their films or talent.

    They are paid to promote the talent, to campaign and persuade people to vote or nominate a film, all in the name of bagging an award and raising the price of an actor and the admission/ sales of a film.

  2. You are presuming a lot, Raider.

    For starters, many of its members (approx 60 per cent) are part of the film industry, people behind the camera in all walks of the movie industry life. Plus there are several well known actors and two directors with a lot of kudos who are members that I'm not allowed to name.

    Yes, anyone can join, but there's little difference between them and their opinions and the millions of people who leave anonymous posts and reviews on places like amazon and imdb.

    If you're going to slam the Razzies, then surely you should be slamming every single review or criticism anyone has to offer?

    Why can't there be an anti-awards ceremony? Considering how many different ceremonies there are to praise movies, surely one that does the opposite is not such a bad thing?

    You are missing the whole point of the razzies - it's one big joke and doesn't take itself seriously, which by the sounds of it, is a lesson you could learn.

    Easy to presume, isn't it?

  3. I dont get these Razzies awards,do people take it seriously? whats the point of making negative awards? :blink:

    Equally, you could ask what is the point of positive awards? Lauding the rich and famous with awards to tell them how good they are? Pointless, no?

    Everything needs an opposite - for every Vanity Bonet there's a normal human being.

    No, the only people who take it seriously are the actors, directors who are nominated.

    Everyone else takes it as a bit of cheeky fun. John WIlson's justification of it is "We are not cruel, we're the naughty schoolboys playing pranks during back-slapping award season. We're like a fart in a church."

  4. I interviewed John Wilson, founder of the Golden Raspberry awards given to awful films, actors and directors etc.

    madonna has won ten awards, only one less than the record holder, Sylvester Stallone.

    On Madonna, he says: "She is a very talented singer and person, but she has forged a twenty year career in acting and brought nothing to the table.

    "She is just awful. Even in Truth Or dare she was bad, and she was playing herself. With the exception of Evita and Desperately Seeking Susan, where she was playing an extension of herself, she is dreadful."

  5. I like Mariah, I adore Madonna. This is the Madonna section of a Madonna board. I don't get why Mariah was even mentioned. Can't we all be happy Madonna is doing something on tv after months (and let's be honest, that marriage tv show was CRAP)? No, we can't. I find all this hate thing for other artists very childish, and the hate for Mariah especially is very 90s.. :lol:

    If I don't like and artist I just don't care about him/her. I know this is a forum, but still, it's getting tired (at least for me).

    :thumbsup:

  6. "Revolver," like MATM, is throwaway, but it's an OK listen. Can see why both "Celebration" and "Revolver" were used for a compilation. With JML and "Rescue Me," neither are among M's grandest, either, but they were better than these two tracks, collectively, and at least we have the JML video. The "Celebration" video is one of the most pointless clips she's ever produced- almost rivals "American Life" (Geography Lesson) in that department.

    Jump is OFFICIALLY the most pointless video clip in the entire history of video clips in the universe ever amen.

  7. Oh Acko, it's not worse than MATM!

    It has a hook, its chorus is very catchy (even if it sounds like 'Red Vulva') and it has gun fire - what more do you want? GUN FIRE I TELL YOU!

    MATM was the sound of two mountain goats clashing horns on a hillside.

    Revolver is the sound of two people in different parts of the world having no idea the other is featuring on their demo. Yet I love it.
