Leo\s probably been in far les films than the others - especially the older actors who've been around much longer. Bean is mostly  a 2nd or 3rd tier actor (he's not bad, I like him, but he's not someone  who plays a lot of leads so he's played a lot of low level one shot scum).

Define "weird time" for boob flashing?  Besides, IIRC Trash was doing a strip tease anyhow - or am I forgetting something.

She was a punk and her group was going to party in the graveyard.  Didn't seem odd in context (or it didn't in the 80s, at least).

Catching up on Viperkeeper on Youtube. He's absolutely legendary, and worth watching.

3 movies today. I got ditched by a friend due to a glitch with some transport, so I'm just spending the day inside (too cold out)

 

Kick Ass 2 - meh.. not good not bad, they took too many of the boring tropes too far and ended up too cliché.

Elysium - I liked it.. dumb enough to be fun, intelligent enough not to be boring.

Seeing Gravity - half way in and definitely digging it so far.

Oscar noms are in, and the only one I really care about this time around is special effects - I find it hard to choose, on a whole, Gravity had great special effects all the way through and they really deserve recognition, while The Hobbit was generally pretty unconvincing... but the Hobbit had Smaug, who was utterly amazing and is my favourite special effect ever at this point and the work on him alone is worth all the awards ever.

The only thing that matter to me were the Wolf and Dicaprio nominations. Too bad neither will win because of old farts and ignorance.

Matthew McConaughey is the one who deserves a Best Actor Oscar this year the most  :mellow: as for best movie... they all suck, but I'd say 12 Years a Slave is the one that engaged me the most.

 

oh, and Amy Adams for Best Actress, mosdef

Sometimes the Oscar show is fun to watch, but the Oscar's themselves are just the artists patting each other on the back or giving Oscars as a sort of lifetime achievement nod. Which is fine, but I don't put any stock in it.

 

Has anyone tried watching Cold Comes the Night? I saw it on VoD last night and noticed Bryan Cranston was in it (Alice Eve too, for those that care). Which made it tempting, but when I viewed the preview, the Russian (?) accent he was using had me laughing so hard my shaking hands couldn't press the "buy" button. I might still give it a go later...

No, he's a wannabe compared to DiCaprio.

 

It should be a two way tie between Leo Dicaprio and Leo Dicaprio.

 

Amy Adams was good in Hustle but she wasn't even the best female performer in her own movie. EPIC FAIL.

A bit strange that Rush didn't get a single nomination. One of the best films this year. Then again, Formula 1 isn't very big over there I guess,  could have something to do with it.

oh, come on... Jennifer Lawrence doesn't even look the part, she was so out of place in it  :no: she's a good actress, but there's no comparing them really, different leagues.

Matthew McConaughey is a shoe in for the Oscar. Dicaprio will lose again. :p

 

If I were a betting man, I'd bet on DiCaprio. Looks like he's riding the wave of good-will straight to the little golden statue. It'll be like Meryl Streep or Martin Scorcese's oscars - not for their best work, but they'll get it as sort of a lifetime achievement thing because they should have gotten a bunch years ago.

Now You See Me

 

It was a fun movie to watch but there were some really silly scenes.

 

Pain & Gain

 

Really funny movie and The Rock was a positive surprise.

I watched enders game, I liked it better than I expected I would. I thought the main actor was pretty good, especially for his age.

actually, if I were to bet on it, my money would be on Cate Blanchett getting the Oscar in the Best Actress category

Nice try. Lawrence is the best actress/actor in that movie. Period.Her scenes got the majority of the reactions/attention from the theatre audience. Quite frankly, Adams got outacted by the clothes she was wearing. L0L

 

"Matthew McConaughey is a shoe in for the Oscar. Dicaprio will lose again."

 

Yeah, probably, but that is just because the Academy has proven to be braindead hence  Gravity's multitude of underserved noms.

I don't even consider McConaughey in the running - pre noms all the buzz was "It's going to be Hanks or DiCaprio" and since Hanks wasn't nominated DiCaprio seems like an obvious choice.

HAHAHA wow. Are you serious? Scorcese is adored by hollywood. That won't be why either won't win if they don't.

considering McConaughey took home all pre-Oscars Best Actor awards, I'd bet my money on him. his role in DBC is the usual Oscar-bait-lose/gain-weight business

 

on a different note, watched Blue Is The Warmest Color. I watched it in french so I missed half of the dialogue (and I didn't feel like reading subtitles), but the movie still had me sitting still for more than 2 hours. it's an interesting look at love, how it transcends genders, how it can find you when you least expect it, and how it can hurt you. the sex scenes are awful, though. felt like watching soft porn. I understand why they were included, but I just couldn't help myself and skipped them

The Wolf of Wall Street

 

I was howling with laughter in the theatre. Also, DeCaprio's acting was actually oscar-quality for once.

"HAHAHA wow. Are you serious? Scorcese is adored by hollywood. That won't be why either won't win if they don't."

 

Yeah, he may be but the movie is mixed. There's half who love it while the other half think it's  filthy garbage that  seeks  bestow sainthood on its bad guy main character. Which is so ridiculous - especially considering the previous  movies that have even worst main characters than Belfort. I mean, a movie was praised when its main character liked to eat human flesh. LMAO

 

And, no, Dicaprio was definitely a dark horse nominee here. In most prediction he wans't in the top 5 but the movie did gain momentum   hardcore. And, chances are the film itself got nominated because  up to 10 pics can be. And, you only need 5% of #1 votes to get it. It's not ahrd to imagine Wolf having 5% of supporters, but I don't see it or Dicaprio winning even if they should.

 

 

P.S. Meshugger, his acting is ALWAYS Oscars worthy. He should be AT LEAST a 12 time winner!

I heard about that only recently. I was actually at a book store and saw enders game with a new cover ( clearly a film cover )

Its not out Down our way yet, but from the trailer i am VERY dubious of it. I am a huge fan of the book, and i very much doubt the film

could live up wo what i imagined Enders game to be.

For those that have not read Enders game i highly suggest it. Its a great piece of written work.

My wife had never heard of Ender's Game but she loved the movie so much that she read the book

 

I thought it was good but would have been better if they broke it up into 2 movies
