Merged: The Movies Thread

10 movies nominated for best picture? I thought it was usually five?


I think they recently increased the # of nominations w/n the last year.

Oscar nominations are out

2010 Academy Award Nominations (http://screencrave.com/2010-02-02/2010-academy-award-nominations/)


I've only seen Avatar, Hurt Locker, and IB. All three of these movies were really good. It would be a toss up for me. I guess if I had to choose it would be hard to go against Avatar, for the sheer spectacle of the whole movie.

I do want to catch most of them, Up In The Air is next on the list.

I left work early yesterday b/c I've got a nasty cold, so I made it a movie day. Threw on "Watchmen" in the afternoon. I was really impressed. Very well done, good effects, and a very unique take on a superhero-type film. My only complaint was it probably didn't need to be 3.5 hrs long.

In the evening I threw on "Blow." Obviously I've seen it probably half a dozen times at this point, but I just love it. Such a bad-ass flick.

Then before I went to bed I watched the Biggie Smalls biography "Notorious." Pretty solid. I had very low expectations going in. It wasn't great, but the dude who played Christopher Wallace did an excellent job.

I've caught parts here and there of Watchmen lately, every time I get sucked in. I'll have to bite the bullet and watch the entire thing soon.

mesmerized by the swinging blue cock, huh?

They need to make a movie just about Rorschach, he is so bad ass!

No doubt. That scene in prison where he just pwned that dude in the dinner line was awesome. Then the quote right after- "Remember, I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with ME!"

^ It have to be a prequel.

the comic book/graphic novel is an excellent read as well.

i bought watchmen on bluray the day it dropped but i can find a free 3+ hours to watch it...it will be added to the 3rd lord of the rings and star wars III that i bought day one and just never watched even tho i hear star wars III was junk.
