DChess · 01-20-2008, 02:44 AM

how did anybody sit through juno. the girl was the most annoying, douche bag ever, i couldnt watch it, she tried so hard to be funny

SuperMcGee · 01-20-2008, 03:11 AM

I can understand people really liking it, but I don't get any sort of best picture talk
It was enjoyable, I liked it enough, but I thought it was going to be a great movie and it just wasn't for me. I just don't see it. And yeah, the dialogue can definitely become irksome.

The music in Juno should clearly make it up for Best Musical Score in a movie...

also...Why is Jennifer Garner up for Best Supporting Actress?

- I thought it was okay, not spectacular though. Seemed like typical indy film music that really didnt grab my interest.

- Because I thought she was great in her supporting role.

KCJ58 · 01-20-2008, 04:50 AM

SAMANTHA THE DOG - "I AM LEGEND"

Absolutely.

Brilliant performance.

BlindSite · 01-20-2008, 05:01 AM

Tim Burton is probably the most overrated director in the universe. Its a travesty he shares my last name.

I will say that this is the first of his films that I REALLY liked.

Sleepy Hollow was okay. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was okay.

Not really a fan of anything else. I just think he deserves a nod for Sweeney Todd.

Naturally.

Obviously, that was a light hearted nomination. I wanted to fit 5 Best supporting ACTOR nods, and thought id make it even by adding one of my favorite things in cinema this year.

Seriously, the dogs death signaled the death of my love for that film. It went totally downhill from there, imo.
