Morte, blah blah. I also enjoyed Doom, Max Payne and AvP movies, remember? :joke:
Anyway, if Avatar was competing for best movie Oscar, I'd say also the People Who Are Supposed To Know buy any crap these days.
Well, it wasn't meant as an attack, more of an observation.You could pretty much copy-paste the responses as to why you're going to see it into a Transformers 2 thread verbatim.
[Kermode]Although to be clear, anyone who pays for Sex and the City 2 should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves, you're only encouraging them to produce more of this putrid decadent filth and you're bringing about the collapse of western civilization. The same goes for people who paid for Transformers 2.[/Kermode]
The Oscar's have little to do with quality. They're there to celebrate and promote the industry. Anything that made *that* much money and is vaguely coherently put together is going to get a nomination.

I actually enjoyed Max Payne and couldn't understand why all the hate because it was (for what it was) well done. Same with Hitman.
AvP lost me after the trailer.

Thus, how Avatar, a more-or-less story-less film with nothing going for it but some special effects, gets nominated for Best Picture. And what's the deal with all the dinks getting depressed after watching the film because the 3D was so "awesome" that they wanted to stay in the world of Navaho (or whatever the fuck it is the little blue bastards live on). I'm sorry, but we already
live in 3D--so why on earth would seeing a film in 3D be even remotely impressive?

If only we could combine them somehow.

I know, I just wanted to flaunt my notoriously bad taste of films ;)

I went to see Satc2 today, and as expected, it was fabulous! :) In fact I think I liked it even more than the first movie. Of course it's fluff, but that's what it's meant to be, and all the glitz is part of the charm. Who'd want to rather watch something like Uma Thurman's Motherhood, heh.

My friend just watched it today and she was reporting the story to me earlier, laughing at how ridiculous it was. I recommended she watch (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNsqDc2fz2w#t=2m14s) this clip to undo the damage (only the first 15 seconds), which shows the
true cost of all those nice shoes (at an illegal party in 1920s USSR) with an inspired montage of them cast against the pieces of cardboard and yarn that peasants in the snow have to wear while you dance away laughing. That's right, pieces of cardboard and yarn you fucking ungrateful pigs! For shame! :mad:
