So I'm a moron for liking Crash? I don't believe in mocking people for liking certain movies. We all like some movies that other people think are turds, no need to call people out for liking a certain movie.
That was hyperbole. Obviously some very smart people loved Crash. But state your case.... convince me I'm wrong.

I think the point PFunk was making is that there is no right or wrong.
I mean Gmanc was moved by Uncle Jesse's haunting portrayal of a grieving relative remembering Papouli against the comparatively serene backdrop of a boat on cinderblocks, while I felt the chilling naivete of the well-meaning Michelle as she "cleansed" Martin the Goldfish with a bubble bath captured the deus ex machina that is the j ai no se quas of Full House.
We're both right...or wrong

Fair enough but that's why you debate it. It's fun, and sometimes you realize you were wrong and that a movie, or music CD, or athlete, or whatever is better than you gave it or them credit for. And sometimes you convince another person the same. And most of the time you just agree to disa gree. Isn't that what we do on this site? Argue, about stuff which there is ultimately no right or wrong answer to?
Obviously there exists differing opinions on Crash, just like there exists differing opinions on the long term viability of Carlos Rogers. I've got opinions on both, and this is one of the places I come to express them. What's the problem with that?

i didn't like babel either.
mon oncle d'amerique is a good movie about psychology and interlocking lives though (1979)... of course it's all in french.

Fair enough, saying a movie is for morons just comes off as kinda harsh, and I find movie arguement to be a tough battle to fight, I've had many and never come out much better then they started so I usually just pass, and be happy with the movies I like although I have been enlightened a time or 12

It does come off as kind of harsh. I didnt mean it that way
I liked Crash... I didn't think it was the best picture of the year though.

it always seems like the winners have either been around forever( like they are deserved an award) or the movie that wins, either sucks to high heaven, or i have never even heard of it. but i did like the departed. even though i don't think much of DiCaprio, he did a helluva job in that movie
I used to hate his guts but ever since Gangs of New york, he's played more gritty roles.
I only watch a small part of the awards if a certain person is being honored and if a certain actor, actress, or movie I like is up for an award.
