I hated the movie from beginning to end
I am apparently Jessica.
It was terrible.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I've only seen two of the five Best Picture nominees.
I've seen zero. But that's normal. It's been years since I saw any best picture nominee before the winners were announced. If I root for/against particular movies based on vague impressions and hearsay, I'm probably coming closer to the average Academy voter's experience.
I did intend to see Good Night and Good Luck. But even George Clooney could not overcome my inertia.

I particularly love "Curse of the Cat People" because it's so very peculiar.
Oh, I loved that movie too. It's fun how people who haven't seen The Cat People can watch it and think of it as this bittersweet fairy tale, but those familiar with the previous film can feel the sinister undertone when Amy's "imaginary" friend Irena appears.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I'm glad Terrence Howard was nominated. I also think Viggo and Rafe were robbed. I agree with the Crash hate. It should not have been nominated for ANYTHING.

In non Oscar news, Angela Bassett and Courtney Vance are the parents of twins now. A boy and a girl, born to a surrogate mother.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I haven't seen a single movie on that list. Of course, that's because I pretty much didn't see any new movies in the last year.

Gee, I thought Crash was pretty good. I only saw it the one time soon after it came out, but it's really stuck with me. Yes, it was contrived, but IMO no more so than a lot of other films and TV shows. For some reason, it didn't provoke my eye-rolling twitch like season 1 of 24 did (another LA-based storyline involving coincidental passing of cars in the night).
Good Night and Good Luck was the other Best Picture nom that I've already seen. I still haven't seen Brokeback Mountain, nor Capote or Syriana (the other films high on my Must See Before Oscar Night list).

I love that Sleepless In Seattle trailer.
