  2. We watched the Hurt Locker on pay-per-view Saturday night. How it won Best Picture I'll never know. We did not like it.

    A lot of the filming was in hand-held shaky-cam which made me nearly vomit.
    They showed lots of people exploding, which made me nearly vomit.
    They jumped through time at the end of the film with no transitions or other cues, which confused the shit out of me.
    The "hero" was a mega-asshole that I prayed would be blown up the whole time.
    The macho wrestling scene in the barracks would have been better if the three of them were naked.
