This is something I don't understand: Every year, all the films I want to see end up bombing, yet the films that end up getting nominated for Oscars are often films that I've never even heard of!

Well, I do know some Films, that do get nominatd, for the 2015 one. Like the one with; Benedict Cmberbatch, Stephen Hawking, and I think Bird Man.
Though, there any word on what is getting nominations, this year?
I also hear word on Pixels, that show how brokn the Copyright Detection Program is. Apparently, on some Video Pages, it's claiming Copyright, on Videos that come more than four years before, just cause they USE the word; "Pixels", even if it has nothng to do with the Film, or the Shrt, that it is base on.
You hear on this, Pups!?

I do find it a bit weird that this movie seemingly needed the foreign market to make a profit. It was once said that theatre attendance was down like 30% from last year.
It can't solely be because the critics seemed to completely hate it, I've seen worse-reviewed movies do better!

There's some thought that Adam Sandler being the star of this movie turned people off because he's not the box office draw he once was. A lot of people hate him now.
"yet the films that end up getting nominated for Oscars are often films that I've never even heard of!"
The Oscars are a very political and often its more about "what are you saying" than "how are you saying it." The films that win Oscars since about the mid-1970s have been the movies with a political message, popular or not (Dallas Buyers Club, Million Dollar Baby, 12 Years a Slave, Argo).

Could it be possible this movie was so bad it's not even going to get a DVD release? I suppose it's possible. That happened with the Super Mario Bros. movie (as far as I know, it didn't get a VHS release after its theatrical release).

Movies are always released on home media these days and that's been par for the course since the 1990s. I don't know what you are talking about because Mario was released on video... www.amazon.com/Super-Mario-Bros-VHS-Hoskins/dp/6302941318There are other tricks though (After Tom Cruise's "Edge of Tomorrow" flopped it was everything short of officially renamed as "Live. Die. Repeat." (a more accurate title that was actually its tagline) for its home release.

Not necessarily, Race. There are plenty of films that never got a home media release like Song of the South (1946) and The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978).

Because those two films were overall hated. SotS because of alleged racism, (though frankly I enjoy it more for the animated portions naturally), and...I don't think I need to explain why people hate the incomprehensible 'documentary' that is the Star Wars Christmas Special.
Might as well be a documentary since it's all about Wookies, IN WOOKIE!

I don' think Sons Of The South is hatd, as Disney use the Animation pieces on Splash Mountain, at Disneyland. Like you claim, it's cause it's more on Race Relations; though, the point of the Film is, it's suppose to be the White Adults learning to be Okay with the Uncle, in it. Walt Disney even made it so, the one who play the Uncle got an Oscar, for the Performance, making him the frst POC to get one. Though, I guess Disney doesn' wish to rsk the case?
With the Holiday Special...Yeah, what are they thinking not to have words on the screen!? Lucas claims, he would use a hammr on any copy, of the Special, he can find? Though, I guess you can claim; we get Bba Fett from the Holiday Special, Eh?

I agree with bab on Song of the South. That was an Academy-Award-Winning film. Even though it's been rarely-seen, it's still a popular Disney film.

Anyway, back ontoPixels. Nostalgia Critic did another clipless review, this time of Pixels.
However, as bad, stupid, or 'cliche' as the film was, it's not the worst is what he says in the end.
He explains the reason, in the end, for the film's hate is because unlike other comedic actors, Sandler hasn't exactly evolved. He's still got old gimmicks, old cliches, and such things of his going.

I guess this will get an Oscar nom for effects and sound.
