I was pulling for F-1 the Movie as it was one of just a couple of movies that we bothered watching in the theater.

Loved it—had a real Hollywood Actor—(Brad Pitt) looking tough, gritty and Pretty Boy...had revving engines and testosterone—had usual plot arc, but no one cared because it was a Hollywood movie. and finally, the good guys won...

Yeah there was a gratuitous love scene, but thats the price one pays for a Hollywood production. Heck, even LeMans had an implied love scene...

So, what it got best sound? Cool beans I suppose, but really?

Worst movie to get best picture was back in the stoneage, Shakespere in Love....I wonder how anyone could sit through that tripe without gouging out their eyes.

Moonlight. Another bad movie that nobody saw.

You didn’t like Shakespeare in Love? Don’t speak for me.

speaking of eye-gouging movies: “The English Patient” won NINE oscars!

Speak for me. I didn’t like that one either. Too much effort at superficial cleverness.

Who’d want to be with Harvey Weinstein and against “Saving Private Ryan” anyway.

I thought “F1” was a huge disappointment. I wanted it to be a lot better, but it really kind of stunk.
