hahaha!

3/5/2006 11:24:51 PM

definitely was my favorite big production picture i saw this year. so im happy for them

3/5/2006 11:24:51 PM

So they're gonna be like


SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSIKE!!!!!!!

in a minute, right?



Because fuck some fucking Crash.

3/5/2006 11:25:33 PM

plus who wants to see a movie about gay men win an oscar for best picture?

3/5/2006 11:25:54 PM

i can wait to see how many oscar articles say "movie crashes the oscars" or something like that

3/5/2006 11:27:27 PM

i totally guessed right that Crash would win.

3/5/2006 11:28:27 PM

You rigged it.

You son of a bitch.

3/5/2006 11:29:26 PM

LOL, Brokeback Mountain just lost best picture.

According to the Oscar website, Hoffman just won best actor which makes me VERY happy.

(ignoring the ignorant comments previously spoken)


CRASH was a GREAT example of the potential that movies have to make an impact on society and at the same time be entertaining.....btw I feel the same about Brokeback Mountain and am glad it received recognition

3/5/2006 11:30:06 PM

crash impacted society? hahahahaha no one heard of crash. everyone heard of brokeback

3/5/2006 11:36:37 PM

No no I see what you're saying.

But maybe they should have given it to a good movie instead?

Or even an average one. Like Brokeback.

3/5/2006 11:37:58 PM

i also totally guessed right that Robert Altman would when the honorary academy award.

3/5/2006 11:38:26 PM

You crazy bastard.

p.s. If you think Crash makes a bold statement about race relations, maybe you should see Manderlay.

3/5/2006 11:39:20 PM

IMO, Brokeback was seriously overrated. I can't wait for all the homophobia accusations though.

3/5/2006 11:46:14 PM

It was, at best, a slightly above average love story. This has been covered plenty in the Brokeback thread, though.

p.s. The two decent noms--The New World for Cinematography and The Squid and the Whale for Original Screenplay--lost.

3/5/2006 11:47:39 PM

oh come on, crash was a good movie. I <3 how everything came together in the end, kinda like pulp fiction

3/5/2006 11:48:39 PM

It's statements like that that make me never want to look at the entertainment section for the rest of my life.

3/5/2006 11:49:53 PM

i dont see how it came together at the end like pulp fiction

3/5/2006 11:50:14 PM

Munich was the best movie I saw.

3/5/2006 11:51:28 PM

butt fucking and gimps

3/5/2006 11:51:33 PM

^^^^you're right, the best picture winner is an awful movie. you're opinion is the only one that matters.


and i'm talking about how the seemingly unrelated stories intertwined, i'm not gonna spoil it for those who haven't seen it. maybe comparing this mingling of stories to pulp fiction was a stretch, but its the same basic principle

You have an airtight argument, sir.




O WAIT

GLADIATOR

3/5/2006 11:56:01 PM

gladiator was not an awful movie

3/5/2006 11:57:41 PM

GLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADIATOR


ps. Traffic was robbed that year

3/5/2006 11:59:10 PM

ha, so gladiator was bad also?

I guess your opinion is fact.

I think I will listen to you before I listen to the ~133 critics who liked crash and the ~99 that liked gladiator.

FUCK EVERYONE ELSE, WHAT SPOOKYJON SAYS GOES BITCHEZ.

I'm not saying it's a terrible movie.

I'm saying it's an average movie.

And I'm saying when you're trying to pick the best film of the year

you can't let this JV shit slide by.

3/6/2006 12:01:18 AM

what would be your pick?

3/6/2006 12:02:58 AM

If you're asking me what I thought the best movie of 2005 was, that would be Me and You and Everyone We Know.

If you're asking what movie might have possibly had a shot at an Academy nomination, that I still think is deserving, Syriana. But, like previously mentioned, Traffic got robbed, so I guess the academy just isn't down with Gaghan.


It's also worth mentioning, as was mentioned by Jon Stewart, Three Six Mafia: 1. Martin Scorcese: 0.

3/6/2006 12:07:37 AM

since so many of you have such a high regard for your opinions how about you go and join the motion picture association and then you can decide......

I definitely agree with this statement. There's nothing special about Gladiator that warrants a best picture nomination, much less win

3/6/2006 12:08:05 AM

Scorsese has been robbed countless times imo

gladiator wasnt that bad, best movie quality...perhaps not, but hey ang lee got another shot.

Let us also not forget that Aimee Mann lost to Peter Gabriel's Tarzan song.

Almost Famous was the best film of 2000 in response to the bitching a few posts up

[Edited on March 6, 2006 at 12:13 AM. Reason : !!!!!]

3/6/2006 12:12:48 AM

^^^ WORD.

I think the best thing I can relate this to is the following:

BEST HEAVY METAL ALBUM: JETHRO TULL

3/6/2006 12:13:25 AM

In my own fantasy world, Match Point, Everything is Illuminated, Junebug, and Syriana won most of the awards.

3/6/2006 12:14:44 AM

The director's cut of Almost Famous is so much better.

oh shit I just saw this for the first time a month ago and I agree. I didn't know when exactly it came out.

3/6/2006 12:16:12 AM

ha metallica got there shit the next year

also heres an awesome review of that everyone we know movie.

http://ruthlessreviews.com/movies/m/meyou.html

oh and the dude didnt like the film very much so i avoided it.

3/6/2006 12:16:14 AM

I can't say how thrilled I am that "Hustle & Flow" won the best song.

I personally felt that the song "In The Deep" from Crash was absolutely the best song. However, those guys were so freaking thrilled to win that award it was worth it just to see how they reacted. Plus, Crash didn't get the shaft when you look at the whole night.

I knew when Brokeback started winning all these "random" awards that someone else would win Best Picture. The only 2 awards I had qualms w/ was Male Supporting Actor (gotta give that to Cinderella Man) and Best Male Actor (I liked Phoenix, but I never saw Capote...)

Good show overall...John Stewart's diss to Scorsese and props to 3-6 Mafia was HILARIOUS.

3/6/2006 12:16:52 AM

I still love you, Amy Adams.

P.S. I was gonna argue in favor of statefan24 just to PO my good friend spookeh, but on the last page (s)he said that the M. Night Shamsasmksjasaa;llyan commercial was cool.

Nothing related to that self-absorbed hack is cool.
