If you&#8217;re in the right setting, people probably won&#8217;t question you:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>1. I saw better acting in my niece&#8217;s 8th grade performance of &#8220;The Whiz&#8221; .<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n2. It&#8217;s refreshing to see such unique art direction.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n3. I didn&#8217;t like that film because I read that the director is a misogynist.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n4. Oh, I must have been in the bathroom during the part where that movie got good, because I thought it sucked.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n5. That was a rip off of a French film I saw in 2001. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\nRemember- if you ever get busted not knowing what you&#8217;re talking about, laugh maniacally and say &#8220;I WAS KIDDING&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\nSincerely,<br \/>\nPoor Lucky Me<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Poor Lucky Me, &nbsp; I&#8217;ve been invited to an Oscar party Sunday night and have only seen one Nominated movie- Avatar.
