I want to know how Hurt Locker won best picture.
I am no Avatar fan, but still for the FX it was amazing.

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

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?

 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?

Thought the Blind Side was a good flick.
Did not watch the rest as I refuse to support most Hollywood types nor their product.

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."

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. |
