You\'re right, Depp doesn\'t deserve one for POTC. He deserves one for OUATIM.

Pffftt...

Best Actor should be Robert Englund and Best Actress should be Kristanna Loken...
July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Pshhh, Arnold owns Englund. He was Oscar-worthy in T3 and you know it!

You\'re right...

They should both be nominated...

Just like with SirMystiq, I would ask you "why?"  It\'s hard for me to imagine anything about it that anyone could NOT like.


I tried my hardest to sit through that movie and figure out why people liked it.  I am at a loss.  The thing was a piece of shit.  NEver laughed once.  Never enjoyed it once.  It blew nuts.
I wear a necklace now because I like to know when I\'m upside down.

Rushmore was okay. Royal Teenabums was a work of genius.

What about that scene sequence with all the shots of Max in various school clubs?  What about the scene where he\'s rehearsing one of his plays as a Chollo driving a lowrider in East LA?  What about his performance of "Serpico?"  Are you telling me none of that was funny to you?  You must have a deteriorated sense of humor.

This movie was actually MORE deliberately funny than "The Royal Tenenbaums."  Wes Anderson\'s style of humor is intelligent and subtle.  One should not expect Adam Sandler style humor out of these films.

I haven\'t seen royal tenenbaums.  ALthough I remember I wanted to see it when it came out.  

Honestly I was so bored in Rushmore that I think I fell asleep in it.

The Royal Teenabums is one of my favorite "blind buys" bought it for the all-star cast and fell in love with it.

LIC:  I get the impression you have little interest in seeing movies in a real theater.  You\'re always talking about the things you saw on DVD only.  I\'m just curious about how you decide what to see in a theater and what not to see.

I see most things in a theater if at all possible.  I feel that if I stumble upon something I really like, I want to make sure I\'ve seen it in a quality auditorium at least once.  No matter how good your home theater setup, I\'ve never see one that could match some of the theaters we have in LA.

I only see things I\'m dying to see in the cinema. ROTK, Last Samurai, Cabin Fever, Kill Bill, things of that sort. Rest of the time, I just buy stuff blindly on DVD.

Me too...
