ROCKY: NOT THE BEST PICTURE??
The April 2001 issue of Premiere contains an article entitled “They Wuz Robbed!” The article compares the results of two polls taken (one with 25 film professionals such as Quentin Tarantino; and the other with 2,000 film fans) who voted for their choices of who should have won Academy Awards during the last 25 years.
The piece is accompanied with some spectacular artwork by ROBERTO PARADA showing Rocky putting Travis Bickle in a headlock while Ghandi and ET look on!
The article makes for some interesting reading and I’m sure will inspire some lively debate. I plan to discuss my thoughts on the results over at BigBeatty’s message board. I hope to talk to you there!
