I want to know how Hurt Locker won best picture.

I am no Avatar fan, but still for the FX it was amazing.

Jim Richards 03-08-2010 01:37 PM

Avatar was amazing, but the story was loaded with cliches.

dd74 03-08-2010 01:47 PM

Avatar didn't have much of a story. Granted, it was a cool movie with great effects, but light on substance. There could have been more from the MC as to whether he should join the Nani or stay human, and please, can we for once have a colonel in these flicks who isn't so damn stock --- "they're different and freaks so let's kill 'em all" sic.

Has Hollywood ever produced a bad guy with depth?

She must have been talking about staring in the movie. I heard it was a real tough film to take. I didn't want to see it for just that reason. Maybe one day...

+1

This is exactly what Lasseter says every year at our my daughter's school annual fund-raiser. His parents encouraged him to be creative and talks about the importance of arts in school.

How does that even happen?

Where did this chick come from? Did he "make" her?

She made herself (and evidently made a couple G.I.s pissed off who say she stole the story).

No Country for Old Men
Silence of the Lambs
Little Bill Dagget

Was that even a serious question?

Yep. And you failed. SmileWavy

Explain the depth of a cannibal. Explain the depth of a guy who murders people with an air gun.

Never seen Little Bill Dagget: who's he? A gangster?

sammyg2 03-08-2010 02:13 PM

Cameron can kiss my white pimply arse after that BS farce of a documentary he put out called "the Lost tomb of Jesus".
Lying bastage.

Joeaksa 03-08-2010 02:13 PM

Thought the Blind Side was a good flick.

Did not watch the rest as I refuse to support most Hollywood types nor their product.

Part of the divorce settlement ....... Cameron had to be her producer for 3 films.

Hey Snipe!

You and DD need to get together. I can feel that there is a "connection" growing here! :)

So, in the end, he did win. Or did he...?

Alex Baldwin in Glengarry-Glen Ross.

A couple of my favorite quotes:

"These are the new leads. These are the Glengarry leads. And to you they're gold, and you don't get them. Why? Because to give them to you would be throwing them away. They're for closers."

"We're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anybody want to see second prize?
[Holds up prize]
Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired."

Dude you've got to be kidding me? You need me to explain to you the depth of a brilliant psychiatrist turned cannibal that helps the police so he can emotionally toy with a young female FBI trainee?

Or a serial killer/hitman?

Shrug, i guess some people are just not meant to "get it."

Little Bill Dagget is played by Gene Hackman in the Unforgiven.

We'd probably get along in person.

As you've seen, i'm a pretty light hearted and jovial guy in person. :)
