apocalypsosOn the Oscar nominations ... "None of these movies can be any good. I mean, weren't most of them in the movie theaters a week before they lost a bunch of money and got kicked back out again?"
On the acting nods ... "The only one that's a good performance is Johnny Depp, and I haven't even seen that one yet, either."
On Bill Murray's chances at winning Best Actor ... "If Bill Murray wins the Oscar, the apocalypse will be upon us. I liked him in 'What About Bob?', but he didn't get nominated for that. Hey, he did work with Richard Dreyfuss. Maybe that's why he got nominated."
On the type of movie that deserves to get nominated --- and remember, he dumped on LOTR ... "Hey, didn't you ever see 'Thinner'? That's a great movie!"

(Did I mention he had never heard of 'Mystic River'? Had no clue what it was about or who was in it. Now, almost everyone I know can tell you those things, even if it didn't get to their movie theater. Crawl out from under your rock, dumbass. Grr.)
At one point, I casually turned to Private Asshat and said, "I'd like it stated for the record just in case there's an argument that I wrote movie reviews for two years straight for an online magazine."
Private Asshat said, "Oh, trust me, I know you know your movies." Hee!

Could I trade you Captain Asshat for Evil Chris for a week? Evil Chris might not seem so bad after that.
