idk about that, I was just mentioning that this was the biggest year at the box office ever
if that was a jab at Avatar, the Avatar script had a unique environment/story and the lead actors are anything but washed up

Why would u watch a movie called, "PHAT GIRLZ" in the first place.. you SHOULD already know how it's going to be.. hahah

I actually thought Avatar and the Hurt Locker were both very average. One of them will win, but it would be so much nicer if something original like Inglourious Basterds or Up in the Air (or Up for that matter) won.
Monique was really overrated as well...that whole movie was.

maybe I'm biased but I just don't understand how anyone can take inglorious bastards as such a good movie
it makes a mockery out of World War II. that might just be me being a history nerd wanting to revere the greatest/worst war of human history, but I just don't think it even competes with other movies up there

Hurt Locker was so bad . . . bleh. It was the perfect movie for consumption and then never to reflect on ever again. It's paying 10€ to waste 2 hours because you really can't stand time - it pisses you off. And it's up for an oscar . . . it should have 5/10 on imdb and forever be branded a B-movie turd pile. >_> Just felt like venting.
honestly bro wat r u talking about? What kind of movies r u watching here? hurt locker is by far one of the better pics this year..

Tough guy remains reckless and tough throughout the movie with no character development and is still tough in the end. Theres a fucking war going on. Doesn't he have a realization about it at all? Nope. He's a bomb defusing guy. Sure, he may take a cold shower sometime because a kid was blown away. But then he's back to his bad ass ways. Fuck yeah - It's Commando 2 without Arnold. Compared to American History X - that also had a badass main character - this movie is a waste of time and a waste of film.

You're kidding right? Environment I'll give you, but Avatar's story was a far cry from unique.

I really hope UP wins.
Pixar has been making some of the best films since they started, proving that computer animation can be far more than a gimmick.

I've only seen Avatar, Up in the Air, A Serious Man, but if I had to pick between those movies, it would be incredibly easy.
Avatar: A silly action movies with silly things and good graphics. Pretty to look at, an advancement in animation, but a movie with little to no real lasting value. I actually hate it a bit because I know a bunch of people who have giant erections for it.
Up in the Air: I loved this movie, but the more I look back on it, the less I think it deserves the "Best Picture" award. It was funny, and brought up some interesting points about the nature of change, but it was very full of fluff. I really like it, but I don't think it deserves best picture.
A Serious Man: Saw this a few weeks ago. Oh. My. God. Call me a Coen fanboy, but ASM was incredibly brilliant, with insight into the areas of faith, family, morals, and cultural judaism. The acting was top notch, especially Fred Melamed's portrayal of Sy Ableman. The Cohen Brothers really outdid themselves, spinning a tale as sad and dark as it is sidesplitting. I literally rolled on the floor laughing + Show Spoiler +during the dream sequence after Arthur cries by the pool, where Lawrence imagines sending his brother across the border with the bribe money, only to have him shot by his crazy neighbor. Something about the way the guy said "There's another Jew, son!" made me laugh.
In short, I think A Serious Man was a brilliant movie and, from what I've seen, deserves the Academy Award. If any of the others listed here win, I won't be pleased.

that movie had cool effects but as a movie it was pretty shitty

Interesting, the leading results in these TL polls are similar to what I want to happen but are completely different than what I think will happen!

the plot structure might not have been the most unique (then again, if you get nitty and gritty about it the majority of movies aren't), but the story told is
being such a popular movie, some people (not all, but I want to say most) tend to hate it just because it is popular (even though they try to convince themselves their hatred is legit for other reasons)

a mockery out of the nazi - yes, out of the WW II - no.
What did I like about that movie? nazis having their brains bashed out with a baseball bat - nuff said.

it's a bad comedy that is tried to be played off as a drama. it just feels like everytime something absurd happens it's because the audience is meant to find it funny (which in most cases it isn't. although I guess some people find a human getting their skull bashed with a baseball bat funny, it just isn't my cup of tea)
the only funny moments are when they are discussing who will speak italian in the basement and when they actually try to speak italian
it's a mockery of far more than just the nazis. all the characters are dehumanized/desensitized
other than that though I enjoyed the movie

D9 is still ever so slightly better than Avatar imo. So D9 for the upset!
|
I wonder who will win special effects.
Hmmmmmm
|
I hope either D9, Hurt Locker or UP win. Avatar had amazing graphics, sound blah blah blah but one of the worst stories ever; cliches cobbled together to form a disgusting monster.
|
I hope either District 9 or Inglorious Basterds win. Avatar was just a so-so film with good cinematography
