[Peerzy]

No you wern't talking about a movie. You were saying you didn't want someone from your country pretending to be gay in a movie. Therefor being homophopic which could offend some members. Whats wrong with someone pretending to be gay?

Not that i would care:shifty:

Gotta diasgree with you there...slightly.

Philadelphia was a damn good movie and sometimes good movies will carry a lead actor/actress in that movie to an oscar.

I personally think Denzel's performance was better. His character was more dynamic. He played a homophobic character that takes on a homosexual as a client in a homosexual discrimination case.

Tom Hank's acting was no stretch but it evoked a sympathetic emotional response to a homosexual in a heterosexual world.

[maebach]

I haven't seen phyladelphia yet :ermm:

but I must agree with peerzy, you sounded like you were trying to offend homosexuals.

[Busyman]

Sounds to me like Ad was offended.:wacko:

what I sadi is the same thing somebody would say about kangaroos being in my backyard no difference if you read all the bullshit posts that are in the lounge it is nothing compared to what I said

[Peerzy]

So Kangaroo's in your backyard is the same as you disliking the fact that someone from your country pretended to be gay, ergo displaying your dislike for gays.

:shutup:

[Cheese]

Oh noes the gheys are gonna win it!!!111:O

Tragic.

[Adster]

fuck it im turning gay I am offended at myself

ok maybe I shouldn't have said it but I didnt mean it to come out like that sorry for any gays on here that I have offended

[curious george]

I think that Terrence Howard was great in Hustle & Flow. And Brokeback Mountain was a very good film. Homophobes and closed minded people are just uncomfortable with the content. *shrugs* Their loss, really. Different strokes for different folks.
My favorite films are animated, though, and for that category: I think that Tim Burton's corpse bride will win the animation category. It's such a beautiful movie in both animation and style. I know the jury is mixed on this one, but I love it. I enjoyed it a bit more than Wallace & Gromit. And I can't say that I've seen the other film up for the same award. *shrugs* I got the Corpse Bride dvd at the end of last month and wend through all of the special features. Pretty informative, actually. I feel silly for thinking that the puppets were still made of clay. and they have mechanical frames and heads that give them those facial expressions. Hella cool. I recommend this dvd.
Anyway, I think that this year's Oscar nominees lack that big time Hollywood star power. (With the exception of George Clooney, of course.) We'll see how the next year treats us.

I haven't seen the film but it's a love story and I'm not really into love stories.

Add man-on-man action to it and it really makes it a NOT SEE movie.

[j2k4]

Here's all you need to know about the Oscars:

The Passion of the Christ made over $600,000,000 but received no (as in "0") Oscar nominations.

It was regarded as a great film even by many atheists, and it's technical achievement was second to none.

I believe Brokeback Mountain has yet to break $50 million, and was, until the nominations were announced, being seen in about nine cities in the U.S.

Brokeback Mountain has garnered eight nominations, and will surely win at least a few.

Say what you want about the proportion of gays in the world (much less in Hollywood), the number, whatever it may be, is positively dwarfed by the number of Christians in the world, though almost certainly not in Hollywood.

Draw your own conclusions.

[jFrazy]

brokeback will probably win but who knows. It seems to be the most popular at this time.

LoL yeah, you share that same opinion with many people out there.

I have no prejudice against a gay person. It's just that I find men kissing repugnant. Other people find slasher films repugnant.

I DO understand that it's probably mainly about a forbidden type of love and that this is considered groundbreaking using popular actors.

How much money is made should have nothing to with Oscar nominations. I like the fact that small budget and linited release movies can win an Oscar.

However, I totally agree with you about you last statement. Also the "0" Oscar nominations was ridiculous (and I didn't know that:unsure: ).

[{I}{K}{E}]

After reading this list me noticed that i haven't seen most of the nominated films :ohmy:

I'm not gonna watch Brokeback Mountain because i don't like drama / romance films.

Crash was one of the best movies i've seen in 2005

Gonna watch these movies next weekend:
King Kong
Syriana
Munich
Good Night, and Good Luck



Anyone seen Capote?

[Cheese]

Here's all you need to know about the Oscars:

The Passion of the Christ made over $600,000,000 but received no (as in "0") Oscar nominations.
.

The film received three (as in "3") Oscar nominations by my count. It didn't win any mind. Pretty good for a snuff-movie.

That's not the way I remember it, Cheese.

Busyman-

The numbers have nothing to do with it other than anecdotally; try, however, to find a movie with those type of gate receipts without even an Oscar nomination.

The Oscar "strategy" over Brokeback Mountain goes back a couple of years, and it's release was geographically scrutinized by it's producers so as to minimally satisfy the Oscar prerequisites for qualification.

Nine cities? :huh:

The screenplay was inspired by the short story of the same name written by E. Annie Proulx, and comes from a book called Close Range-Wyoming Stories, a book I happen to own an original copy of, and which I count among my favorites.

Annie Proulx is a phenomenal writer, and I recommend the book to any and all.

Edit:

Cheese-

Please excuse my oversight...The Passion... received nominations for Cinematography, Makeup, and Music.

I don't regard those awards as proper recognition, however you are right and I am wrong.

My apologies.

Yeah I peeped the limited release. Pretty "slick" for teh gay movie.

Funny you did say technical achievement and that's what the Oscar nominations were for.

I could have cared less to see the movie. I was over my gf's uncle's house and (he being the man of the house) wanted to watch POTC. I watched a little bit and was bored to tears. I never got to the ass-whippin parts.

Plus as many know, me and subtitles don't get along.:rolleyes:

I'm not looking forward to Apocalypto either.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably put Syriana last out of the 3...although me and you have somewhat different movie tastes.

[Busyman]

Crash FTW1!!!!1!

The producers were surprised as shit that they won.

There was some Oscar party up in Silver Spring (20 miles from here) (where they watched on a big screen) and the reporter said that the whole crowd gasped when Crash was announced as best picture.

:lol: :lol:

[Adster]

YES!!! the best movie actully won the oscar this year

suck shit brokeback mountain! wohoo!! boy was i happy

and Syriana was confusing hard to follow and boring agree

[sirbitter]

Was wondering anyone participated in any Oscar pools... predicted any upsets or wins? :)

I must say, I called Brokeback not winning best picture.

[Busyman]

Oscar pool?

..
