What about that Oscar upset

I didn't see this perviously posted so i decided to take initative; What about Crash upsetting BrokeBack as best movie of the year?

Crash was a much better movie and deserved to win over the much-hyped brokeback mountain.

What did you guys think?

~i'm a huge movie buff, i live for this stuff.

i really didn't like any of the movies this year.

good night and good luck was alright, batman begins was good.
mirrormask and rent were definately worth watching.

that was really all for 2005/2006, which is pretty sad :(

I liked Goodnight, and Goodluck too; I didn't think it was stellar though. I have not seen munich and Copote so i don't have a great scope of the other best movies of the year.

i'm just talking about what i liked. the guy playing capote was great, but the movie was completely uninteresting (to me), and i'd never watch it again.

munich wasn't really worth investing time in. it was done well, but at the end, you'll just be like "that's it?" cause no one actually wins or makes any progress (its kinda like The Roar Of The Greasepaint - The Smell Of The Crowd if you've ever seen that play).

After thinking about it: your right; this year in movies was somewhat on the dull side.

if you haven't seen mirrirmask, you might like it. though the movie is more about looks than plot, the acting is pretty good and the effects are great.

Thats kind of a Sci-Fi flick right?

sort of, but not really... its closer to an alice in wonderland type of thing.

i was ok with crash winning best picture, moreso than previous oscar winners. i haven't seen brokeback, but ang lee tends to be overdramatic and drab.

i actually thought jarhead was underrated this year... a fine film, but not political enough for either spectrum to really make any noise.

also wanted to mention cronenberg's "history of violence." definitely his most mainstream effort to date, but a strong piece of work nonetheless.
