They'd have to be to get Russell Crowe the Oscar that year over Denzel Washington ... ... but it all worked out the next year when Denzel won over Russell when Crowe should have won for A Beautiful Mind.

That and Dreamworks is really freaking powerful.

Why do you say that? I mean, I can see why. I'm interesting in why you say it. Because the Academey is very traditional and likes to vote for movies such as movies based on Shakespeare (like the one w/ Gwyneth Paltrow) or boring movies like The Last Emperor or movies that say something in it or are creative with the plot like that American something movie with Kevin Spacey in it. Lol. I forget all the movies names! I think that ROTK spent a lot of time on action and on scenery for the viewers. Don't know how much of an impact this movie really makes. I'm not sure how the Academy will respond, but I think they will pick something that hasn't made millions of dollars. There were also some corny scenes and such. Don't how they will react to that. But I really have no idea :/ Good observations around. RotK is a movie on a scale of no other before it. Previous examples might not hold. Also, it wasn't too long Gladiator won for best picture.

Gracias, Gisela. I couldn't have done it without you at the end and your sister at the beginning. Thanks, Gaby and Gisela. Oh, I guess that means I thanked Giseal twice and Gaby only once. Gracias, Gabriela.

... in the power of the imagination.

... just returned from the picture show and need to get some work done.

Mental note: Legolas is too femme.

oh, THERE'S a pleasent thought!

San Diego es muy diferente que Los Angeles. La gente de San Diego piensan que este ciudad es como un pueblo. Entonces, la personalidad de San Diego es menos Hollywood y más Heartland que Los Angeles. Es un poco conservativo aqui. La gente perferrían divertirse en los playas y los montanas y la tiempo perfecto. Es un poco dificil a explicar, pero cada persona que quiere visitar San Diego debe ... hay más que una persona que ha visitado San Diego y nunca salido.

:lol: It's not that I'm saying she's unsexy ... ... it's just that I think he posted those in the wrong thread.

Peter Jackson seems a better bet than the flick for best pic ... but "there is still hope." I just saw House of Sand and Fog. One word: Average.

OK, so it sounds like if I want power I go with XBox but if I want games I go with PS/2. Is that fair? And if it is ... ... what good is the power without the games? Sounds like having a baseball field but no team to play on it.

OMG ... did somebody just post three pics of Avril in the "Sexiest Female" thread? I think I just lot a bet. Can we get back on topic, please? SEXIEST females.

Welcome back! My name is Richard.

Thanks, everybody, for all the feedback! I love you all ... in a very platonic, virtual kind of way. Incidentally, I just got back from House of Sand and Fog. Pretty average movie. Some people will think it better than that; others will think it worse. I enjoyed my time but it wasn't really noteworthy.

No! Don't do it ... ... are you back from skiing? P.S., I liked your previous avatar more :P

I agree: it was well made. I have it in some of the categories (like Art Direction and Customes). To me, the movie sacrificed story for spectacle. I did generally enjoy the movie, though.

The Last Samurai, in my mind, was a spectacularly produced movie with some serious problems in its plot. Elf's goals were different ... ... but at some point a movie needs to be rated on its ability to entertain people. At some point you have to return to that. That is the whole point, isn't it? Why do you say that? I mean, I can see why. I'm interesting in why you say it.
