rob morrisonrandom search time! “oscars 1983″ written by dave on 01/29/07
jon stewart gives those hollywood westerns what-for, back in 2006.
it’s that time of year again — the snow is falling, the super bowls are bowling, and that little golden man is waking up from his year-long nap. but enough about [shitty celebrity punchline here]! oscar season is the time of year that i grab a seat at the local cineplex and catch up on all those “good” movies i missed while enjoying all the really fucking bad ones. so i thought, “random search time!” believing that i might find some priceless 1983 oscar gem.
i didn’t. i found this.
it came up because this “antarctica,” had a theme which came from 1983. that theme was written by vangelis, who won an oscar for the chariots of fire theme. you see, 1983 + oscar… = bullshit!
but watch the clip and be transported back to hours and hours sitting in front of a projector in school, with the lousy synth scores almost being drowned out by the projector’s whirring motors… ah… it wasn’t recess, but it’ll do. film time was the best of times (–no math–) and the worst of times (–falling the hell asleep on my carpet square–), but it was undeniably the most arctic of times. why the hell did i see so many arctic documentaries? it’s cold, there’s penguins and dog sleds. that’s enough. if that crazy bastard nanook doesn’t show up soon, i’m out.
but oh, the pleasure that burst forth from the screen on rikki-tikki-tavi day!
this bloody dump of a re-enactment is the best i could find.
rikki-tikki forever!
but we should definitely burn those damned carpet squares… i think i’ve still got imprints on my legs.
and anal fissures.
