Dramadies make you think you have an emotional attachment to fictional characters. Young people like that.

Yes. Hell, the John Birch Society is preferable to her.

Yeah, no, fuck her. I don't believe for a second she was dumb enough to think that a movie titled The ABCs of Death was remotely appropriate. Donate money to greenpeace or even the ACLU. Not this moron.

I want to cry.

The final Wikus rampage in District 9 is one of the most visceral movie thrills I've experienced. I will accept no badmouthing of that movie or its conclusion.

I'd prefer a live episode, every single day, but I'd take 20.

Ah, fair enough. I have a bad habit of assuming my opinion is rational and by logic people who differ are irrational. I just saw Selma as Lincoln, a movie good enough and inoffensive enough to be played ad nauseum in high school history classes forever. I don't feel offended that it wasn't nominated. If Spielberg…

Selma was a perfectly good movie, but it irks me to no end that people's general complaints are more "more diversity is needed!" rather than "Selma was great!" If we're talking best actor, Gyllenahal and Fiennes were much bigger snubs. If Director, a first time director with no significant studio backing being…

I don't understand how you can call it empty. Whether or not you agreed with it, or whether or not you even thought it was important, the movie was clearly about what it means to be an artist, and what it means to chase fame or to chase artistic recognition. The whole point is that Keaton's character chased popular…

I loved Birdman. It wasn't thin - it just wasn't bloated. It was a movie about the desire for recognition, and about the hollowness of doing that. Keaton gave a performance that will be remembered long after Eddie Redmayne is robbing laundromats. The style was impeccable. Best movie this year, by a margin.

Because it wasn't very good.

I think the Scent of a Woman issue is that *this* was the movie Pacino was honored for. Much like the backlash against The Departed, it's because a definitely lesser work/performance was honored despite the fact that it was still a pretty good work/performance.

Oooh Eee Oooh Ah Ah, Ching Chang Walla Walla Bing Bang?

Not The Beach. That movie should be burned. You're otherwise correct.

He was BY FAR the best actor of 2013 in Wolf of Wall Street. I will brook no argument.

Jennifer Lawrenece was awesome in American Hustle. That is all.

Killer Joe

Killer Joe allowed me to see a great actor blow good actors off the screen. Best male performance of the 2010s maybe.

The Fighter may be the most overrated movie ever. A Lifetime biopic and Bale was average in it. His best acting will always be The Dark Knight. Haters be damned, he was magnificent.

Shut your mouth! Denzel Washinton deserved his Oscar for Training Day. That's the definition of a performance overcoming a weak movie.
