Reilly Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 ^THIS Why do they do it so blatantly? Every year, if it's before the end of summer it doesn't get a look in. Feeble academy types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Lestrade Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Fair enough, but all I'm saying is that they look shit. I don't actually know. Inglourious Basterds in particular looks like a mindfucked idea of a film, I'm downloading it now. I get it. But why do you want to see it if it doesn't look good to you? :\ The Hurt Locker was much better (for the overall story), anyway. I would suggest that one.

Reilly Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I get it. But why do you want to see it if it doesn't look good to you? :\ You serious? :thinking: Well, to see if it's good or not, obviously. The Hurt Locker was much better (for the overall story), anyway. I would suggest that one. OK I should probably download it too as it won, Inglourious should only take about oooooh another 8 hours so after that then sure I'll look at Hurt Locker.

coldplay_is_louve. Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Inglorious Basterds was fantastic. The Hurt Locker was okay, didn't deserve best picture in my opinion. Precious was also unbelievable. Mo'nique completely deserved her Oscar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Lestrade Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 You serious? :thinking: Well, to see if it's good or not, obviously. It just seems like you've already made up your mind about it. But who knows...I've got a fever at the moment, and I'm just not making much sense. Inglorious Basterds was fantastic. The Hurt Locker was okay, didn't deserve best picture in my opinion. Precious was also unbelievable. Mo'nique completely deserved her Oscar. That's the problem with movies. One man's trash could be another man's treasure. It's all about personal taste.

coldplay_is_louve. Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Very true. That's why I don't believe in listening to movie critics. Some people won't see a movie just because some dumbass starts trashing it on the internet. There are movies that many people despise that I absolutely love, and visa versa.

Reilly Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 It just seems like you've already made up your mind about it. It may seem like that, but I've never loved the plotlines for any of Tarantino's stuff, Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction, it was the dialogue and slick directing that made each film what it is. And although a film about Brad Pitt killing Nazi's looks fucking awful, I should at least see it before I can know for sure. Besides, its about time I caught up with the film world.

Brad Pitt is not the star of that movie, him and the "Basterds" play a minor role tbh. The dialogue is genuinely up there with his older stuff, there is one scene in a bar which takes about half an hour and it's absolutely brilliant. The Brad Pitt bits are just comic relief, the real brilliance lies in the "Jew Hunter" (who is so good) and the cinema owner, seriously for all it's short comings, it's a great movie.

Sharo Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I actually like the Academy and was generally pleased with the winners. But... 1. Ok, I haven't seen Crazy Heart but Colin Firth was unbelievable in A Single Man. 2. Academy is totally in love with Penelope Cruz and it's annoying. WHY WASN'T MÉLANIE LAURENT NOMINATED? She was damn awesome in Basterds. And WTF both women of Up In The Air? Seriously? 3. Original score should have been for Sherlock Holmes. 4. A Single Man should have even had a nomination in art direction and the movie. Because it's one of the best films of the year - but maybe it's just too good for the Academy (wouldn't be the first time, 2001: A Space Odyssey).

HorrificAttack Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Colin Firth is a walking cunt Mélanie Laurent was good, but not worthy of an academy award Original score should have been for Sherlock Holmes...LOL Also don't you dare mention A Single Man in the same breath as 2001.

Reilly Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Seeing as Limewire is a bitch it doesn't look like I'll be seeing aforementioned movies :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Lestrade Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Like...ever? Or just for now? You could always try *dramatic chord* renting! :surprised: 1. Ok, I haven't seen Crazy Heart but Colin Firth was unbelievable in A Single Man. Jeff Bridges was very good in Crazy Heart. I think he deserved the Oscar. Plus, he seems really, really nice.

Reilly Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I feel like I've gone through enough effort without driving into town, getting a movie, driving home, watching it, and then driving to town, to give it back :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
