You misunderstood what I was saying. I was saying the Oscar show itself would be flop because these are not mainstream movies. That's all.
By Mainstream you meant 'popular' right? I was just saying that Best Pictures winners are almost always popular.
Damn, you're funny! Love the weenie-mobile! Is that you in the blue shirt with a bag full of condoms? Hahaha!
I agree,one has to SEE a movie or HEAR a song before they can accurately critique it.
I have not criticized Brokeback Mountain because I haven't seen it yet.The subject matter is not really my cup of tea but maybe I'll go see it and then close my eyes during"that"scene.
I saw both Fahrenheit 9-11 AND Passion of the Christ mainly because conservatives reviled the former film and liberals the latter.I have this strange dislike of folks of any political persuasion telling me whats good for me!
Funny how after hundreds of posts on this thread, I DON'T see anyone DISAGREEING with me regarding my predictions at all.....
BareA$$ed Mountain has some special effects for you....LOL
LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD: Judy Garland.
A shame that never happened.
YES!!!
Yeah, it's good. It's just anti-historical propaganda. Demonizing Sen. McCarthy is never out of date.
All Art is propaganda of some sort. Murrow doesn't come off as an angel either.
Well, I liked Broke Back Mountain but I don't see it being Best Picture. It was a good flick but maybe best actor for Heath Ledger and best supporting actress nomination for the woman that played his wife. That would be realistic.
Memoirs of a Geisha- good flick but not good enough. I didn't find any of the individual performances inspiring enough for an award either.
Crash was pretty good. Could see that one winning Best Picture.
I saw it. Good movie. Not good enough for an Oscar for best picture though. ;-)
