Ahhh. Awards season. Narcissistic individuals dying to either get famous or reignite their 15 minutes of fame. Everyone’s lobbying for a chance to get on stage, watched by millions as they shed fake tears while grabbing onto every available phallic-like trophy that’s supposed to honor their excellent work.
Except the Razzies.
This is one award no celebrity would dream of having, because it awards the yuckiest, the crappiest and the lamest movies out there. While they’re making fun of the movies made in Hollywood, we do wish that this award could have included a “Worst Foreign Film” category. And let’s just say that Asia alone has an abundance of excellent nominees.
We’re not saying we should include the low budget crap because you know, they had no money. We want the BIG BUDGET SHIT. Last year, we’d say the credit belonged to once talented-turned-Oscar greedy director, Zhang Yimou and his overpriced period epic – Curse of the Golden Flower. This movie was filled with cliches and an ultra-cheesy storyline while being covered up with shots of tens of thousands of extras killing each other plus the ever essential but tired wire sequences.
This year thus far, we think it belongs to a movie starring another lame Asian pop singer-turned-actor Jay Chou, who incidentally also played a role in Golden Flower as well. So he decided to shed his warrior clothes and put on basketball shorts instead. Throw in wire sequences, kung fu moves and cutesy Asian bimbos. And you get Classic Crap!
Congratulations Jay Chou, we think you deserved a Foreign Razzie!
