Xander ,'Beneath You'
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.
This trailer for Clash of the Titans almost made me choke. [link]
Genius tagline!
Also, given the one snippet of dialogue, I kind of expect Sam Jackson to turn up all, "I have had it with these motherfucking scorpions on this motherfucking peninsula!"
Wow. That's...wow.
What...the hell?
I believe I will stick with the original, which I love quite a bit.
That trailer was awesome in an over the top way, but I have no interest in the movie, if that makes any sense.
It's missing Greased Harry Hamlin. Fuck scorpions. I want Greased Harry Hamlin!

I agree with John Cameron Mitchell (I mean WTF does a man have to do????), Buscemi and Johansson for Ghost World, In the Mood for Love for Best Foreign Film, Uma for Kill Bill, and WALL-E for Best Picture (it was the best film of 08). I would also add Joseph Gordon-Levitt for Mysterious Skin. He broke me so hard in that movie.
ETA: Also agree with Mulholland Drive for Best Picture. Loved that movie!
Sasha Baron Cohen for Borat? Come on. Crack.
Children of Men didn't get any Oscar nominations. It should have at the least gotten a cinematography nod.
edit: that's Children, not City. Duh.
Wasn't Children of Men up for something? I thought it did get a nod for Cinematography.
ETA: It got 3. Cinematography, Adapted Screenplay, and Editing.
