The Artist

   The Academy Awards are tonight so I decided to go see what The Artist is all about.  The theater was packed, the line for concessions was long and the movie was underwhelming.
   Every year, you see movies that contain that one 'Oscar Bait' scene that usually consists of a melodramatic exchange of yelling and/or crying.  I found The Artist to be nothing more than 100 minutes of Oscar bait.  It was universally impossible to dislike but just didn't do anything for me.
