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.
Our Oscar poll had Avatar as the winner for best picture (and Cameron for best director), but you know, unscientific and aimed right at the masses.
Were the emails private emails? It says to his friends, so it's not like he was just spamming Academy members, or was it?

It seems that this fellow's greatest crime was injudicious use of the competition's name and NOT spending millions on 'for your consideration' campaigns.
My copy of the Alice In Wonderland Visual Companion showed up yesterday. I ... wow, that's a really average fantasy movie plot, with some Victorian Grrl Power thrown on. It looks pretty, tho'
Oh, and Jess? Is the moat around the Red Queen's castle full of bears? Because the book said it was a very GRIZZLY moat, and that's when I started snickering inappropriately.
It’s a Wonderful Life is a time-travel movie?
I'd call it an AU movie, rather than a time-travel one, despite the mostly flashback structure of the first half.
Bwahaha! No, but that would have been pretty awesome.
(It's full of heads.)
Yeah, I figured as much.
I forget - did we reach a consensus on Avatar? Because the more I think about it, the more I hated it, so its success and Best Picture chances are just depressing to me.
Aren't there any better time travel movies?
