ha! Totally different responses to The Judge!
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Indeed! I didn't hate it, unlike Linda Holmes, but I wasn't wowed.

I thought the Judge was wonderful and both Duvall and RDJ were excellent in it. But yeah all the whiteness is annoying. I really expected Selma to get more love, though I haven't seen it yet. It would have been nice for a black woman to get a director's nod. I've seen her in many interviews over the last few weeks and she seemed impressive.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm not surprised by Cumberbuttons getting a nom for Imitation Game, but I'm disappointed. Sherlock with a stutter is not exactly a stretch for him. (Not that he did badly, but...yawn.)
I am appalled right alongside JZ that Fiennes' name isn't up there. COME THE FUCK ON DID YOU EVEN WATCH THE MOVIE ACADEMY.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Jesus, it's practically the only commercial on right now
Must have missed it from FF'ing through all the commercials! *hugs the TiVo*
I went and wiki'd the title. Nope, my interest is not peaked at the slightest.
I didn't hate it, unlike Linda Holmes, but I wasn't wowed.
That must have been where I got the "critically panned" impression. I went back to her TIFF reviews and wow, Linda Holmes really hated it. I might give it a gander when it comes out on DVD.
Or they've giving them to older actors on the gamble that "Oh, this is their last movie, I bet, better award them with something."
But, it's Meryl Streep! It's not like she's hurting for lack of recognition. If they were to pick anyone from the cast of Into the Woods, they should have picked Emily Blunt, who did a lot more emotionally nuanced work.
Ah well. The whole thing is a giant popularity contest anyway.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ditto the Lego Movie.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Y'all seen the Lego Movie's response, right?

Ah, that is awesome!

It's Bradley Cooper--as you've never seen him before.
I thought he was Joaquin Phoenix the first few times I saw the ad, so they're actually delivering on that score.

Thank you for posting that, because whenever I see the ad, I have to reassure myself that I don't have anterograde amnesia because of my consistent inability to recognize Bradley Cooper until they tell me it's Bradley Cooper.
In my defense, it's the short ad where he doesn't speak that trips me up.
