Keira fucking Knightley?
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Keira fucking Knightley?
Haven't seen P&P yet, but I'm guessing that was another iffy nom.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

It's stupid and wrong on all levels, but I'm not surprised.
(Unlike the 2 *sound* nominations for Memoirs of a Geisha, which is just plain weird. And the editing nom for Crash, about which I am snarling angrily.)

Do you think it was poorly edited? In what way? I'm just curious. I haven't seen it yet but's it's in my netflix queue.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I'm a bit bummed Ralph Fiennes wasn't nominated for Constant Gardener because I really loved that movie and he was amazing in it, but the only movie I've seen in the Best Actor category is Brokeback Mountain so I can't really complain properly.
Man, I've really fell down on my movie watching this year. I've only seen two of the five Best Picture nominees. Don't know what to think about the strong showing of Crash, which I thought was an effective film, but was too much of ANVILS! CRUSHING MY CHEST!!

I hated the movie from beginning to end, but the editing nom makes me particularly snarly because I suspect what's actually being nominated is the script (which is all about people's lives randomly intersecting each other in unwatchably contrived ways). The editing was standard Hollywood invisible editing -- it could have been done by a robot. There wasn't a single creative choice in the entire fucking movie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Capote and Good Night And Good Luck aren't out on DVD until after the Oscars. Don't make me leave my house, people!

You're in LA, aren't you? That's what friends with Academy screeners are for!

My best Academy connection moved to Arkansas last month. The other--he'd be very suspicious if I rekindled our friendship this time of year.
I've been slacking terribly. I can't be caught this way next year.
But this is the first year that so many of the movies I haven't seen yet aren't available--usually it's my time that's the bottleneck. But there are only three or so I feel the urge to see this year anyway.

Me too. I just saw it this weekend and was pretty stunned by it.

ah. Which of the films in that category deserve to be nominated do you think?
(Am remembering for the first time in a very long time how much I absolutely loved editing back when I was in film school.)
