No body watches the Oscar’s after Michelle showed up with her fat ass and flat chest with the military in back of her to announce a winner.
everybody knows you have to be british today a roman
“My favorite movie? “The Best Years of Our Lives”, which won the Oscar in 1946.”
Mine too. Amazing picture.
L
I like King’s Speech, and The Artist.... and loved Argo
HATED>>. literally.. HATED Birdman.
Spotlight was OK.. but, if it was the BEST, it was BAD year.
I hope La La Land wins tonight. It was refreshing.
You m;at like I Claudius an old PBS BBC series Got me started on reading Roman History and watching all things roman. Also the Books I Claudius and Claudius the God.
I will have to say I loved the Gladiator, too, and have watched that more than once. “ Amazing Grace” (William Wilberforce story) is my all time favorite but most people have never seen it. : ( Liked the movie better than the book, even (Sorry Eric). Did like the Bonhoeffer book, though.
I liked Last of the Mohicans and Braveheart also and watched those a lot, like Pride and Prejudice.......
Liked the Book Thief which was pretty darn good (I liked the book a lot, too).
Want to see “Silence”, but that is the only recent one. Read the book and not a happy ending, so I can wait.
Too much preachy political crap makes modern best pictures lame and boring.
Totally agree with your assessment. I couldn’t hardly stand to sit for the Hobbit films and I love JRR Tolkien and his books—esp. the Hobbit. Their casting didn’t help at all this time.
I loved the characters they picked for LOTR. Excellent cast, photography was gorgeous. Just fun to watch. Just some parts were a little boring and could have been cut a little better—but still excellent.
TO PLAY
who was the moron presnting best supporting actress....
I’m taping and will scan it and watch the whole thing in 15 minutes.
Watching Big little Lies Those bitches!
Mark Rylance Brit Knight played the Russian Spy traded for Gary Powers in Bridge of Spies. Tom Hanks starred. I’d recommend it.
This was typical backhanded slap at Trump. We should have voted for women because they disagree better yada yada yada.
BTW the winners this year usually present next year in top 4 acting categories.
Both the books and the show were terrific. A couple of years ago I heard some buzz that I, Claudius was going to be remade but I’ve heard nothing since.
When I first watched it, we were getting combat troops returning from the Middle East, and it occurred to me that the themes in “The Best Years of Our Lives” were timeless.
Our men coming home were probably seeing things much the same way...everyone going about their business, oblivious to the bloodletting and death, concerned with daily life. And going from an existence where everything you did could mean something or have live and death ramifications, to an existence where there is just a lot of BS and a paycheck, if you are lucky. And people not really understanding what you went through.
I can see how that would be alienating.
“Re: For the most part today’s American offerings don’t have mature adult actors or mature adult scripts.”
Great list. You watch more movies than I do but you think a lot like me.
I hope I’ll like LaLaLand but fear that it will disappoint me.
