Hurt Locker was boring.
“Hurt Locker was boring.”
Avatar was agitprop. The best film won, IMNSHO.
Sandra Bullock also made history as the first woman to win the Razzies as worst actress and best actress at the Oscars. The odds alone are astronomical.
Parts of it were slow, I agree. I would not say it’s boring though.
“Sandra Bullock also made history as the first woman to win the Razzies as worst actress and best actress at the Oscars. The odds alone are astronomical.”
Sandra won the Razzie because she agreed in advance to show up to accept it. A great publicity stunt by Bullock.
imho it was either mega-crap (Avatar) or crap lite (Hurt Locker) to get the awards and crap lite won as the lesser of the 2 evils.

I wouldn’t know. I have not been in a theater in he USA in probably 15 years. I wait for them to come out on Netflix.
The theater experience has been ruined by high prices on tickets, ridiculous prices on concessions and rude people with cell phones who think their silly conversations are more important than my enjoyment of the film.
And everything I have read says this hasn’t changed and has gotten worse with the advent of texting, flickr and the like.
So, I’ll see these films in a few months and that works for me.

I am not sure that is true. Do you have a link or something to back that up? I am not accusing you or anything, but I think the Razzies are voted on and adjudicated well before the “winners” know.

Good observation......I got that feeling also. I never really understood the message or point of the movie. No doubt Hollyweird’s way of painting the war effort as futile and our military as knee-jerk drunken yahoos.
*PING*
I did not see Hurt Locker but Avatar didn’t deserve to be considered for a best picture. It was fun and the 3D effects were amazing but it really was nothing more than a decent movie wrapped up in ground-breaking special effects. The story underneath the glitz just wasn’t that great. I don’t get to many films but the one I liked the best was District 9. Had that as an in-flight film on Qantas and it was fantastic.
Definite snooze fest.
There was absolutely nothing PATRIOTIC in the Hurt Locker.....did this fool even watch it....
Here we have a EOD Team Leader supposedly in Iraq who is a compulsive addictive personality who is an Adrenalin Junkie???!!! He constantly puts his men in danger. Then once he returns home to America He abandons his wife and kids so that he can go back to Iraq and get his “Drug”.
Disgusting.

“Full Metal Jacket” on slow-unfold?
Suddenly, patriotism is fashionable and glamorous among the Hollywood libs...
It’s the new Kabbalah.
I think they're out on DVD now. I know "Hurt Locker" is and I read somewhere that "Avatar" has a DVD release date. I know it's still playing in theaters, but I think the release date is fairly soon. (I have not seen it.)
