Oh Sean. That 'shop work is more than worth the lack of Courtney Love turtle.

Honestly, I have never seen a studio so pathetically force a movie on an audience who are so clearly uninterested and bored of this shit. Nobody in this world wants to see a sequel to that shitty Spider-Man reboot with Jamie Foxx and Paul Giamatti as Electro and the Rhino.
Good God Paul Giamatti is a terrible choice…

It's a cover that is so different from the original that you could almost call it a new composition. But the Glee guys just took this composition, not even changing the lyric in which Jonathan Coulton says his own name, and failed to mention that they took it from him. 
But this is a lot of hubbub over nothing. I'm…

@avclub-64f027640f63616a277e92096313264f:disqus Yeah, I see his nomination as nothing but a polite nod from the Academy that De Niro is back on the right track, and they approve. I agree it was nice to see him in a good movie again.

If it helps, it is by a wide margin the happiest movie ever… made by Michael Haneke.

I didn't mind the historical inaccuracies or whatever, I don't see that as a problem in a movie like this. My issue was that, while it was a perfectly good thriller, Argo was so damn predictable and boring in terms of plot and characters. It took no risks. Compare the bland main characters, dull visuals and plot of…

To all y'all who haven't seen Amour, I'd recommend it. It's a very moving, if somewhat predictable movie which is totally carried by the two leads, who I loved. Worth seeing if only so you aren't confused when Emmanuelle Riva (hopefully) takes Best Actress home.

@LurkyMcLurkerson:disqus What did Robert De Niro really do to earn that Oscar? I don't know why he was nominated. I would have replaced him with Dwight Henry from Beasts of the Southern Wild, who impressed me just as much as Quvenzhane Wallis did.

You really preferred Zero Dark Thirty to Lincoln, huh? I myself was a touch disappointed by it, although as I've said before the actual sequence where they were in the compound was brilliant. I felt like I was watching the actual recording of the event that had somehow been leaked. That scene alone was enough for me…

Seeing Life of Pi in 3D in the cinema was a great experience which I personally found to be far more satisfying than the majority of Best Picture nominees this year. It was the visual spectacle I had hoped Avatar would be. And I still don't know how they pulled it off; the blending of live action and digital effects…

Dude! Argo over Life of Pi, Lincoln, Zero Dark Thirty et al is CRAZY.

There are ghost cars all over these highways you know.

Lincoln was far more entertaining than Argo, you fatuous nincompoop! Argo didn't have that bit where James Spader mumbles curses at some racist who is about to shoot him, or that bit where Lincoln says the word shit, or the bit where Walton Goggins finally becomes an independent woman and votes yes for the abolition…

I'll be very surprised if Argo wins. It was my least favourite of the Best Picture nominees, actually, which since I love to share my opinion I will rank here for you all:

He literally did not have a personality in the movie. None of the characters really did, except Alan Arkin.

Having finally seen all the primary Oscar nominees, I'm just going to put this here:

I don't even know why I'm bothering to reply to this but it is DEFINITELY Castallanetta doing that line. It sounds nothing like Azaria's Frink voice, anyway. Sorry but I pride myself on being right about stupid shit like this, and I've always been able to guess which voice actor is which, especially on this show. If…

D'oh! Sorry I was really seeing the Bewitched opening credits accompanying the music for some reason.

This almost makes me miss the old days when hip hop was a life or death game. Tupac and Biggie got shot but Chris Brown is still alive and kicking (somebody's face in)? The game done changed. I blame Drake.
