Movies and TV 2009 Oscars - Page 22

Starting this on the main board since it's a once-a-year dealio...

Just returned home from the annual AMC marathon, and here's my thoughts, in no particular order:

As was the case last year, the best picture I was was the last picture I saw. In '08 that was No Country for Old Men. This year it was Frost/Nixen.

I thought this was a particularly weak year, none of these films struck me as 'great', and I think most if not all of the movies up for the award last year were better. My order would be: 1. Frost/Nixon, 2. The Reader, 3. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, 4. Milk, 5. Slumdog Millionaire. None of the films were bad, by any stretch, but I don't see myself going out of my way to see any of them again. I thought The Dark Knight was as good as any of them. I haven't seen The Wrestler, but my guess it I'll believe it was snubbed.

Best actor from the films I saw was Frank Langella as Nixon. Penn was good as Milk, but Langella was on another plateau. Brad Pitt was also very good.

I have no idea why Josh Brolin got a best supporting nod. James Franco was the supporting meat of that movie. No pun intended.

Kate Winslet was the only Best Actress nominee I saw, and she was extremely good. That film surprised me: I'd heard people complain about its best picture nomination, but I thought it was very good.

That's all I got for now.

By any chance does TBA have a dog named Pepper?

Wow. You and my mom watched the same kind of daytime programming. That's pretty mind-blowing. I guess you were in-touch with your inner housewife back then.

How does the fact that I watched soaps in my youth detract from the fact that you currently watch soaps with hairy sweaty men?

Most of them have no body hair.

People are so quick to call each other names over the net. Well I will not stoop to your knavish level, I will say however, that BOssman is an evil shit who should be buring in hell right now after what he did to Pepper and Al.

See, if you had a true mind for comedy you would have added a 4th period to an ellipsis or misspelled something in the quoted post. Missed opportunity.

Sorry, I got sidetracked watching one of my favorite conan bits of all time:

What were we talking about again?

Well, f@ck!

And I am totally missing all the references to wrestling drama, because I really have no desire to watch that crap. All the clips have no effect on me whatsoever. It's like using French to insult a German. With that in mind....I will let your little sub culture carry on with your fake wrestling and manly soap operas.
