There isn't a single movie in this thread that I have seen.

Oh yeah, and Munich was poop.

NO!!

munich was gold....bana should have got an actor nod for it

Crash was too convenient for it's own good. it tried to be like Pulp Fiction the way everybody was intertwined but it seemed forced.

rjs246 · January 31, 2006, 10:10:22 AM

Bana was good. The movie lacked any semblence of conviction. The fact that it got nominated is a farging joke.

MadMarchHare · January 31, 2006, 10:30:24 AM

Yeah, Bana should've gotten a nod to make up for not getting one for Hulk.

ice grillin you · January 31, 2006, 10:37:51 AM

problem with the hulk was that the awesome special effects overshadowed bana's acting thus he didnt get recognized as he should have

bana was also great in blackhawk down

i didnt realize he was aussie until the golden globes this year when i heard him speak

Only Best Pic nominee I've seen so far is "Crash". I also plan to see "Good Night, and Good Luck" and "Capote". Not sure if I have any interest in seeing "Munich", and I'm pretty sure I'll never see "Brokeback Mountain".

whats the lag time btwn when movies get released in the us vs england

Depends on the movie. It took about six months for Team America World Police to get released! Of the best picture nominees, Brokeback Mountain is out now, Crash has been and gone, Munich was released on Friday just gone, Capote isn't out yet and I have no idea what Good Night, and Good Luck is!

Ha, "It's hard out there for a pimp" got an oscar nod. That movie was actually a lot better than I thought. Seemed really corny in the commercials but it wasn't that bad.

Only one of the Best Movie nods I've seen is Crash. Thought it was excellent, but agree with everyone else it was a bit over the top. Glad Matt Dillon got nominated though, his character was good.

I think I may break down and see Brokeback Mountain now though, a bunch of friends went last week and everyone wants to see it again.

i havent seen it yet either?

rjs246 · January 31, 2006, 12:25:28 PM

The only urge I have to see Brokeback is in the hope that it really isn't a very good movie and that the only reason it's getting this much attention is b/c the dudes play gay. Then I could knowledgeably blast every single douche who goes on and on about it. If it's actually any good I have no interest.
