Movies and TV 2009 Oscars - Page 19

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.

I don't actually believe Mickey Rourke is a pedophile and I didn't actually know he had an underage daughter or I wouldn't have made that crack to start with, but, on the other hand, it's certainly feasible that his wife got a ram jam.

Did Rourke use steroids for the filming? Looks like he did. You can't gain like that unless you eat a shit load of food and it doesn't gain like that for a movie role. You can only gain so much in a year.

Pretty much everybody believes he did. I mean, that physique in his mid-50s....

So wait, you didn't even see the movie?

The implication was pretty clear.

So why do feel the need to protect him?

Slumdog Millionaire is just lucky there was no AvP picture this year.

Show you what quote? One that says you don't like looking at that guy because he's big and greased up?

Well, I can't show that to you. You haven't said it. Wait, let me check again, maybe I missed it.

Nope, still nothing. There is no such post.

It's official: nowhere in this thread have you denied the fact that you like looking at beefy greased up men.

THANK YOU, GOOD NIGHT

Caught me there. The previews were stupid enough that I wouldn't spend money to see stone face play a "professionsl" wrestler.
