Because of Adebisi's incessant raving, I watched this, and greatly enjoyed it despite going into it thinking I would have a scathing internet retort as my reward. Thinking about it further after watching, I realize I like it more and more, and have tried to get others to watch it as well. Aside from the lack of access for non-pirates, not a single person has been even remotely interested no matter how much I talk it up. I fear I have failures as friends and coworkers because of this.
Great movie, and I say this thinking I would have zero interest in the subject matter. There is really not even much of a story...yet plenty of story, if that makes any sense. I haven't seen all the nominees, but I can't imagine myself enjoying ANY of them nearly as much as I did Whiplash. And I agree JK Simmons should win Best Supporting Actor as well. Awesome performance.
