I watched Winter's Bone and 127 Hours today. so it's been people cutting off body parts day.
I was set to really be sorry to have watched 127 Hours, but i think it's probably in my top 3 of favorite Best Picture nominees.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

tiggy - I had watched 127 Hours to complete my goal of watching all the Best Picture nominees. I was surprised to like it much more than I expected.

I'm sure I will like it when I can fast forward at will.

Franco really surprised me, Suzi. i haven't liked him in anything else, but he was fabulous in this. The Kids Are All Right will be my last movie to watch to have seen all the Best Picture nominees. something tells me it will be one of my least favorite. i'm still scratching my head over its nomination when pretty much everyone i've seen mention it, hated it.

I didn't hate it. There was just no there there. Replace the couple in question with a heterosexual one and no one would even be talking about it.

I saw The Kids Are All Right with K-Bug and a friend of hers. The friend's parents are two women. She absolutely loved the movie. I liked it, but remembering how happy she was adds a few points too.

Hey. New board.
I thought it was very good. I would have liked it with heterosexuals too. I thought every role was beautifully acted.
I also liked 127 hours a lot. I've now seen them all except winter's bone and the black swan.

tiggy, if you liked Franco, you might like him as much as I did in the James Dean bio. I think it was made for tv, but he was really great in it. So much so, I have felt that he hasn't acted as well in projects since, but I have not seen 127 hours.

I agree. On the other hand, I think that was kind of the point, you know? It's not a movie made for people living in the liberal bubble coast cities, so I could appreciate the subversion-through-normalcy thing even as I was kind of bored.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, I'm watching Eagle Eye on FX and I am wondering: is there any movie Shia LaBouf has been in in which his character does NOT have daddy issues?
It's striking how this is a theme in the 3-4 movies of his I've seen.
