The Oscars and Me

Something I have long suspected is now an inescapable fact: I am no longer part of society. For the first time in my life I have not seen even one of the movies nominated for this year's Oscars. This is odd since I do watch movies quite often, but I guess I'm watching ones that don't make big money and thus don't really matter.

The good news is that decent films are still being made that do not involve Hollywood. The bad news is that Hollywood still exists.
