i was talking with some of my buddies about what were the best movies this year and what should get the academy award. we all came to the conclusion that Return of the King was the best movie, but we also all agreed that it wouldn't win the award. they always give the award to some artsy movie with an actor/actress that is supremely overrated and loved by all the critics. example: saving private ryan was by far the best movie of its year, but the award is instead given to sheakespeare in love, a fake, overdone, unrealistic, and mostly retarded film. does anyone else also notice that movies also have a much better chance if it is somehow related to homos or has jewish producers. that's not cool. now, i have no problem with jews, i actually have a few good friends who are jewish. I do have a problem with being gay, but that is besides the point. i'm just wonderin' why this is, cause i think it's pretty stupid. oh and by the way, from what i read, the favorite to win the award this year is cold mountain. did anyone see that show. i thought it was horrible. it was a terrible representation of the civil war with virtually zero historical significance, at no point was i compelled to care about what happened to the main characters, i don't believe i got anything good out of seeing it, and quite a few times i was checking my watch just to see how much time was left before it would end. i think the only thing that movie sucessfully does is depress you. i think that by some other the other topics on this board it is safe to say that everyone realizes how good a film return of the king was, so i don't even need to go on with that. i think wanted to get this off my chest, so thanks for listening to me rant and rave.
PEACE i'm out

The academy ARE idiots. They go mainstream. Shakespeare in love didn't suck, but it wasn't GREAT. Memento and the Usual Suspects did not get any real consideration for best piscture in their respective years, and this year Intacto isn't getting much either. I haven't seen Cold Mountain yet, so I can't comment... but it looked good.

I don't doubt this, because he asked me if i wanted to come over to his house and gerbil. I insisted that he come over to MY house, since the whole thing seemed weird. As a practical joke, i attached a bucket of water to the top of the door so that when he opened it, I beat him with a mannequin leg.'-Skydaddy

Uh...Return of the King was NOT the best movie of the year. The needless 30mins at the end trashed it for me, i was fucking cracking up in the theater with my friend, because that shit never ended. Mystic River is a winner, haven't seen cold mt though.

Attitash would you not have felt ripped of if you wouldnt have gotten the conclusion to the books?
Have you even read the books?
those who have accepted the ending the way it was those who havent hate the ending!
Anywho the first 2 movies where over looked for Picture of the year for the reason the third in a trilogy is usually the one that gets the nod

It's like the music awards.... It's all fuckin shite. Nothing good ever gets nominated. Because no one would watch the show. They wanna here the pop pap off the radio.

saving private ryan was the best movie. awesome storyline and it changed war movies forever. veterans watched it and felt like they were back in d-day. that is not easy to re-create. besides the fact it had the best actor and director of our time in it. it's a classic, 20 years from now no one will know about Shakespeare in Love, but they will know Saving Private Ryan.

Memento and Mulholland Drive are one of the best movies I've seen. Memento really,REALLY makes you care about the characters,along with the flashbacks of the guy who killed his wife acidentally,and Mulholland Drive...I can't explain what it is,it's so freaky..
