Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Never saw that. No idea why no...wait, right, war movie.
Didn't know you had a thing about war movies, fair enough. The story is really boiled down to a very small scale, but there are plenty of war movie elements. Rachel Weisz pretty much steals the show from Joseph Fiennes and Ed Harris whenever she is on screen.
Do you think it has to be reasonably soon? Have his not-wins been high-profile enough to span more than, say, three years?
Hmm. I dunno. Three feels like the limit.
Also, when will Don Cheadle get his we-do-like-you Oscar, dammit?
They gave out all the black-people Oscars already, sorry.
JESSE! Hollywood was a pioneer in the civil right movement. How dare you suggest they have a color bias?

Yeah, I'm pretty helplessly weepy. LotR kicked my ass to the third power and then some, but I couldn't not love them.

And buy Bridge Over the River Kwai.

Tenko's out on DVD? Oh, man, now I've got another thing to add to my Netflix queue. That was a great series.

More like "The Gays." Actual homosexuality not included.
Hold on, are you saying there are gay people in the entertainment industry?
Irritatingly I love PoW movies.
That is a curious boundary you have there, must be a bit tricky managing it. Enemy at the Gates has interesting stuff going on. The main characters are Russians, so there's the whole Damn, it sucks to get your ass kicked by your old enemy while you freeze and starve to death tacked onto the Our way of life is a Sham, did we always know it was a Sham? thing happening. Plus, people getting shot, and hot skanky surreptitious sleeping bag sex, but that may be a thing ...
