MTV Movie Awards
The MTV Movie awards, celebrating another year of cinematic mediocrity
Hey Gang!
Remember the kooky days of yore when MTV was relevant? Well, those days are long gone and MTV is a textbook example of a corporate based product placement device thinly disguised as entertainment. This being, ostensibly, a horror/sci-fi/fantasy film site I won't launch into a tirade about programming hip-hop videos for white, suburban teens, instead lets look at the MTV Movie Awards.
Hollywood needs another incestuous, pat-on-the-back, self congratulatory awards show like New Orleans needs another hurricane, but here it is. It's a chance for "celebrities" to get wacky (within corporate approved guidelines), and celebrate the very finest that Hollywood has to offer. It's a chance for young Hollywood to cut loose (obviously they don't get enough opportunities to do that) and act like jack-asses.
No one loves biting-stinging-soul crushing satire more than I do, but this isn't satire, it's not fun or funny, or relevant. It's scripted, pre-approved pap, and the pity is that their target audience doesn't know the difference.
