Har ju ärligt talat ännu inte hunnit se en ruta av Oscarsgalan, men hörni, DEN HÄR TEXTEN sammanfattar alla mina fördomar mot Seth McFarlane (hoppas jag stavade namnet fel?) så det känns inte som om jag missat nåt!
En sammanfattning av sammanfattningen, för den som inte orkar klicka på länken:
• "The real problem wasn’t that the routine was offensive (although it was juvenile). It wasn’t funny. Somehow, MacFarlane and the producers, Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, never grasped that being self-referential is no excuse for being lame."
• "Sometimes there wasn’t even irony to cloak the tired material. MacFarlane referred to the tenacity of Jessica Chastain’s character in Zero Dark Thirty and said it’s “a celebration of every woman’s innate ability to never ever let anything go.” Yikes, that’s a “Take my wife, please” joke. His more topical comedy? Introducing Ben Affleck, he made a reference to Gigli. There should be a statute of limitations on Gigli jokes – not because Affleck gets a pass on it, but because the subject is used up, it’s boring by now."
• "Trying hard to be edgy isn’t the same as being edgy."
Så där ja. Nu kan vi gå vidare med dagen.
