Yeah, I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with you there. I don't feel like Million Dollar Baby ever tried to mislead anyone. If you saw the trailer and thought you were going to see a Rocky movie we saw a different trailer. If nothing else Clint Eastwood's involvement would have to tell you it was going to have some dark and sad themes.

Brokeback Mountain's trailer on the other hand looks like a parody of romantic movies. It seriously looks to me like Ang Lee made a movie ready made for Mystery Science Theatre 3000. But because it is about gay people, it has to be praised as the greatest movie of all time. And they can brag on it all they want, Batman Begins still got better reviews. Now there is a movie I would love to see take home the best movie award at the Oscars. And of the movies I have seen this year, it would be the front runner for me.

Batman was near the top of my list until last night. My wife and I watched Cinderella Man, and it is a fantastic movie. As much as I can't stand Russell Crowe's politics, he was marvelous. I also think Renee Zellweger and Paul Giamatti should get Best Supporting nods.
