2. Whether or not a movie won an Oscar means nothing. Many great movies won't win one, many shitty movies will. See Gladiator and Braveheart.

This is like defining a word using the word itself. There are only a handful of movies that won an Oscar for best picture that didn't deserve it and they were still good movies (see, e.g., Shakespeare In Love and The English Patient).

You responded to people who gave background and credence to an argument that action movies do, in fact, win Oscars on rare occasions. You responded by saying those movies were awful or terrible. And that was it.

The logical conclusion was that you attempted to troll. Thereafter, you gave a loose basis for your opinion and only after it was drawn out of you. Now you are being ridiculous, claiming that winning an Oscar is meaningless, that I'm trolling because I believe 2 universally acclaimed films are better than awful and terrible, and that I've been caught by you in my shenanigans. Yet again, you are an idiot.

To get back on topic, I will be seeing Looper. It looks awesome. Hopefully the time travel/alternate universe stuff is better explained than it was in Donnie Darko.
