    Actually, my subtitle for Birdman, now that it won is: The Not Unexpected Ascension of Pretension.

    (yes, I thought is was a pretentious average movie).

    What did you find pretentious, Gip?

    I found it entertaining with a creative story line and editing.

    I am not a film critic nor do I see all that many. However, I found this to be a good movie. I'll leave it up to others to determine if it was the best film, or not.

    PS I also liked looking at Naomi Watts ( I would have had a boner too) and Emma Stone.

    The writing, directing, acting.....any movie that seems to deal with "Broadway" seems to me to have a great deal of pretension behind it.

    And that was also the opinion of my wife.....the Theater major.

    I found it entertaining with a creative story line and editing.

    I am not saying it didn't have a bit of entertainment value. But, I mean if we are going for entertainment, give me Guardians of the Galaxy. The Grand Budapest Hotel was more entertaining imo. St. Vincent would have been better.

    Her performance in St. Vincent was far superior than Birdman.

  • Actually Patricia Arquette's bloviating about women's rights had more animation then her role in boyhood.
