…why would you have an LGBT person on a heterosexual dating show? At least, why would you have an LG person?

Sometimes contrarianism gets out of hand.

"It's a Wondeful Life" was a great movie, which lost to "The Best Years of Our Lives", an unjustly forgotten great movie. 1946 was a pretty good year.

Terrence Malick kind of forgot to write stories for his movies at some point.

Well you're right that it's purposefully obtuse. The novel that Arthur C. Clarke wrote along with the movie makes the motivations of the aliens and Bowman's fate much more clear. Personally, I had no problems with the obtuseness.

There's plenty of moral ambiguity there for anybody who wants to see it. OK, they saved Ryan. But Wade died bleeding out from his liver, calling for his mother. Plenty of ambiguity, and to call Saving Private Ryan just rah-rah patriotism is willfully misreading the film.

IIRC it wasn't even nominated for a screenplay award, which is relatively unusual for a Picture winner.

I've watched Titanic, and I like Titanic, and the criticisms of the story as cliched, the characters as shallow, and the dialogue as wooden, are all valid.

The version of "Saving Private Ryan" I saw included American soldier shooting enemy soldiers who had their hands up and were trying to surrender.

That's it. My God, that movie was terrible, even with Winslet taking all her clothes off. When Harvey Keitel is putitng on a dress something has gone horribly wrong.

I guess I do. Really, Judy Garland? What's the deal?

…oh, I see, nobody wants to talk about the GOOD movies, huh? Only the crap, huh?

Or because it's great!

I dunno, studying English lit in college made me like that movie less. They didn't have open casting calls in Elizabethan theater. Shakespeare didn't come up with original plot, much less transform comedies like "Romeo and Ethel the Pirate's Daughter" into tragedies.

If I'd had a vote between Boogie Nights and LA Confidential, I would have been torn.

I'll never understand why gay people attach themselves to certain bits of pop culture that don't have any overtly gay themes or gay connections. Judy Garland? "Meet Me in St. Louis"? Why?

It isn't the first feature-length film. Feature-length films made before BOAN include Cabiria, From the Manger to the Cross, Traffic in Souls, and even a slapstick comedy, namely, Tillie's Punctured Romance.

What do you mean why? They WERE pitted against each other, at the Oscars.

Only in a Cimarron-free universe, really, go watch that movie on you tube

Wings has some legitimately great aerial combat scenes, and Clara Bow sideboob.
