Argumentum ad populum.
I don't care if the Pope likes it. I still don't find it good.
And that is why you fail

I haven't heard "Gravity" so I'll refrain from commenting on its worth (or lack of).
I have heard the "Frozen" song and I'm with Bruce Kimmel on that one. It was so atrocious that it inspired me to look through an entire list of Best Original Song winners from 1935 to the present. Turns out I've heard about 90% of them, and lo and behold they all make *perfect* sense to me from when the category was first introduced and "The Continental" won, and continuing on in 1938 with "Thanks For the Memories," or 1940 with "When You Wish Upon a Star," or 1942 with "White Christmas," or 1944 with "Swinging on a Star," or 1961 with "Moon River," etc. and this lasts all the way up through the eighties and into the nineties - from a historian's point of view (though still in my 20s I'm younger than some of those around these parts), Best Song generally was the best song, and represented the year very well. But the Best Songs of the last 10-15 years no longer seem like the year's best song, nor do they even seem representative of the year - all of those winners of the last 15 years bunched together just looks like a crisis, as if the Academy truly had no idea who to give it to or why.

So glad you aren't running things in Hollywood
MV
Yeah, 'cause Hollywood is just so damn amazing to begin with.
If it wasn't so amazing then why are you even here on this board? Why do you love film and music so much...so much so that you comment on this board?

I adore film and music.
Industry insiders who have to resort to infantile comments... not so much.
You're the one being sarcastic. I'm just holding up the mirror

I don't see you holding up a mirror. I saw you disparaging someone's opinion of a movie by implying that Hollywood could never be wrong.
In a case like Frozen Hollywood is obviously not wrong. It's a financial and critical success. It has won a plethora of awards, including 2 Oscars. When you have BOTH things in your favor you are not a wretched film. It's simple basic facts.
There is nothing wrong with disliking a movie but berating it when things called "facts" get in the way of your personal tirade then YES one should be called out on their own words.
There is way too much hate on this board. Then again, this is a message board where pesky things like "facts" get in the way of one's own opinion.

A billion dollars and Oscars for Best Animated Film and Song begs to differ.
So glad you aren't running things in Hollywood

Is there ever really much competition when it comes to animated films? And it is so saturated and bloated. Its usually Disney and Pixar fighting themselves, as they are both the same company. The only other big company that does animated films is Dreamworks.
Considering animated films are targeted for kids and kids like animated films and parents need to entertain them and parents need to go to these films as well, of course animated films make lots of money.
Well, this year both THE WIND RISES and ERNEST AND CELESTINE were up against the Disney/Pixar/Dreamworks domination. And both of them far superior to the latter's output.
Oh, and in case it needs pointing out.......IN MY OPINION.
lol
"The worst Disney film since the mid 80s"
In your opinion, is FROZEN worse than HOME ON THE RANGE? BOLT? MEET THE ROBINSONS?
