That trailer was awesome in an over the top way, but I have no interest in the movie, if that makes any sense.

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.

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!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sasha Baron Cohen for Borat? Come on. Crack.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
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.

Our wings are not tired.
I loved both City of God and Children of Men and I get those titles mixed up all of the time.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I have been mainlining movies what with the new gig.
2 I most def recommend-Pontypool & Allegro Non Troppo.
The first is a smart semi-zombie dark humor thing (I say semi-zombie, because they are not, in fact reanimated dead people, and I found it humorous though I can see where someone else might not)
The second is the anti-Fantasia and is going in my top 5.

Allegro Non Troppo
Love that!! I fear I can never watch it again, because the episode with the kitten broke me when I saw it.
