They can recognize art. They can also recognize a lie. Truth is beauty.

Never mind that this is a badly distorted telling of these events. Never mind the fact that we know this movie is nearly entirely fiction. Never mind the fact that this is a CIA love story, actually written and produced by members of the CIA. This on top of all of that, is just a poorly made film. Boring, sad, I found myself just wanting it to be over.

Zero Dark Thirty is too good for the conservative, line towing oscars. An immense piece of 21st century cinema, ditto Cloud Atlas.

Pathans speaking Arabic, distorted facts except for the torture scenes, excluding Pakistanis contribution that led to the house, not showing treachery to a supposed ally and intruding its airspace and not involving it in the mission-what can one expect but failure. Irony is those involved are living in perpetual fear of being assassinated by OBL’s avengers. Living death

It wasn’t art–it was a torture-promoting, pro-government propaganda piece and most people saw through it, that’s all.

Can one imagine Michelle Obama announcing “Zero Dark Thirty” as the winner of the best picture Oscar?

What’s the point of an academy when it cannot recognize art?
