the oscar winning best picture of 2009/10, a fantastic juxtaposition of cinematic genious/drivel based on a true story by someone who will have no social/political relevance to anyone anywhere globally in about 5 minutes. An artistic picture about the horrors and beauty of *something/whatever*, I didn't actually bother since I have no interest in Iraq/war.
and the hurt locker wins over avatar best picture of the year and that's why I don't care for the oscars enough to watch them. And superbad wins best comedy. Oh Jesus! Do not care, busy; rolling a joint now.

According to the writer-producer Mark Boal “hurt locker” is a military slang that means “a bad and painful place.” He said during an interview that “EOD soldiers use it as a form of poetic understatement: If an improvised explosive device, or IED, goes off while you're trying to disarm it, the ‘hurt locker’ is likely to mean a white box draped in a flag and shipped home with full military honors.”
He won't go back home, but the hurt locker.

One of the frontrunners for Best Picture in Sunday's Academy Awards ceremony is Kathryn Bigelow's tense depiction of a U.S. bomb squad unit in Iraq, The Hurt Locker. The movie's official website says of the title, "In Iraq, it is soldier vernacular to speak of explosions as sending you to 'the hurt locker."
In fact, like so much American military slang, hurt locker (along with related hurt expressions) dates back to the Vietnam War.
