The Lego Movie: Biggest Oscar Snub Ever or Not Really?

     The nominations for the 87th Academy Awards was revealed this week. There were films that were obviously going to be nominated like Birdman which is one of the top contenders with 9 nominations. Of course with the excitement of movies that were nominated, part of anticipating Oscar nominations, along with seeing what award Leonardo DiCaprio will NOT be getting this year, is seeing who gets snubbed. We, in a ironic sense, we're not disappointed, actually we were. There was Selma being nominated for only Best Picture and Original Song, along with a very white list of nominations. Unfortunately we're not here to talk about Selma, we're talking about another film that was supposedly done wrong: The Lego Movie.
     The Lego Movie managed to get only one nomination, Best Original Song. The director for The Lego Movie, Phillip Lord, responded to the news in the hilarious and well respectable fashion by tweeting a picture of a Lego build Oscar saying "It's okay, I made my own." Others didn't have the same reaction. The response to The Lego Movie's spread like wildfire all over social media with people being completely upset with the movie being snubbed. It wasn't shame on you I'll boycott the Oscars, but you can tell that a lot of people were upset with it, acting like it was the biggest Oscar snub of all time. But was it?
     Movies are a form of storytelling. There are two types of storytelling. One is to simply tell a story and one to tell just for entertainment. When I think of the Oscars, I think of an academy award show for the prestige films. It is an award show where we recognize the films that were made for the artistic craft for making movies and the art of storytelling that doesn't get as much mainstream appeal as most of the blockbuster films get, like The Lego Movie. It's is for the Gone Girls and The Imitation Games, and Birdmans that hold a higher degree of cinema photography and acting that most mainstream entertainment films don't have and are in a different sense and tone than most of the other blockbuster movies like The Lego Movie. The movies that usually do get nominated for Oscars, especially in roles like Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Director are the movies that suppose to best represent those professions and most entertainment films like the Lego Movie doesn't fall into those categories. If we did put the Lego Movie in those categories, it would've been almost a joke.

      I'm not taking a dig at the movie. It is an amazing movie and I can tell that there was a lot that was put in to make everything awesome. It hit right in the nostalgia button where you would make all of these epic adventures just sitting there playing with your Legos as a kid but, it gotten what it deserved with the nomination category it was placed in. I could've seen it being in Best Animated Movie, but you had other great animated movies and that was probably the committee trying to please everyone.. It is lucky that it got the nomination it did. Anything else would've been overkill. Besides I don't think Lord and The Lego movie is hurting by this snub at all. They've gotten tons of money and they are going to win a few VMAs or something.

Do you think The Lego Movie was wrongly snubbed? Do you agree with what I said above?

Five Nights at Freddy's 3: Are We Over Spending The Night with Freddy?

     Creators of the Popular Five Nights at Freddy's franchise has recently uploaded an image on the Scott Cawthon's website, scottgames.com teasing that a new game is in the works. A Five Nights at Freddy's 3 being worked on so quickly after we just gotten a Five Nights at Freddy's 2 a few months ago in November doesn't seem so far fetched as we've gotten the sequel a mere months after the original game came out.
     Five Nights at Freddy's is a point and click survival horror game in which you play a security guard at a restaurant that has to monitor the place. You work each night from 12am to 6am (nine minutes in real time) trying to avoid Freddy and his animatronic friends from killing you, thinking you're an endoskeleton like them that needs a new suit. In the first game you had cameras in different rooms to monitor the animatronics whereabouts and a door operated by a limited battery supply. In the sequel, you have no door but instead a mask to fool some of the robots, not all of them, cameras, a wind-up box to keep a marionette form getting you, and a flashlight to ward off Freddy and his friends. The first and second Freddy games were a run away hit with a ton of people playing them due to word of mouth, and a ton of Let's Plays on YouTube. Of course with a hit franchise it is best to milk it for all its worth by making as many sequels as possible, but should Cawthon and Scottgames make another sequel. Have we already gotten over the scariest game of 2014?
     A new Freddy's game might seem cool and all, but there are some signs that people might be over the series. First and foremost, there's oversaturation. There is a such thing as being exposed too much to something. It hasn't been longer than a year and we have two FNAF games and a third one coming along. There isn't enough time to process the first two games, leaving people to get sick and over the next installment and series altogether. I understand Cawthon wanting to strike while the iron is hot, but at this point it's becoming overkill.
     Adding to the oversaturation of the franchise, there's also the fact its appeal by having these games turned out the way they are. FNAF is a survival horror game. By having these games continuing to be pushed out like they are, its cheapening the whole horror aspect of the games. It's making them less scary. Five Nights at Freddy's 2 had this problem. They completely reworked the game mechanics that gave the sequel a fresh spin on the original and it was amazing, but the fear factor, the reason why the series became so popular and the reason for its infamy, greatly dwindled as the jump scares got more and more boring as you continued to play unlike the original.
     Again, it is cool that we are getting another sequel and it will be nice to see what will be new to the series. By the look of the picture and possibly as theorized according to a video from The Game Theorist, FNAT 3 might be going back to to the first restaurant and might have a more gritter version of Freddy and his friends. This might what the series needs to end for its swan song. Or it might end up being a final nail in the coffin.

What do you think? Do we need another Five Nights at Freddy's game or do you think the series has jumped the shark?
