oscars - Page 2

LifeDistortion · 02.25.2008, 12:23 AM

Was watching with my mother, during the best song catagory we went if any of the three songs from "Enchanment" wins over the one song from "Once", might as well call it a night. "No Country For Old Men" was the only one of the movies that I've seen, so its the only one I could root for. "There Will Be Blood" is probobly good/great, but is it great because of Daniel Day Lewis? There for, the best thing about the film was recognized.

i was posting here and my friend was keepng me posted about it (against my will) through msn, i did watch the coens get their two awards in a row.

I thought There Will Be Blood was better than No Country For Old Men. Although both were awesome, There Will Be Blood was Kubrick good.

Cantankerous · 02.25.2008, 12:47 AM

i suppose i should go see these films then, if they're winning oscars and you all seem to have a high opinion of them? i don't go to see movies very often.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 02.25.2008, 12:52 AM

2007 was a great year for movies. There Will Be Blood, No Country For Old Men, Eastern Promises. Juno was good too, but I feel odd lumping it in with those movies.

I still have to see Before the Devil Knows You're Dead

Cantankerous · 02.25.2008, 12:53 AM

juno took the piss too much. it was like when you're 13 and weird and being picked on and the only way to retalliate is to be a smartass.

I thought it was cute. Michael Cera needed to be in it more though.

I believe it is called Enchanted. *scoff*

I prefered There Will Be Blood to No Country, both were good, but I though There Will Be Blood had more depth, but was perhaps a bit too off beat for the Oscars. PT Anderson needs an Oscar. Coen bros. have had their share.

Cantankerous · 02.25.2008, 01:07 AM

they made the big lebowski for fucks sake! how can you beat that?

Well put. TWBB reminded me a lot of 2001 with it's long patches with not speech.

The Big Lebowski is a comedy.

No Country For Old Men isn't.

No Country For Old Men has the scariest movie villain ever. Makes Hannibal Lecter look like a puppy.

Cantankerous · 02.25.2008, 01:22 AM

i'm aware that it's not a comedy and lebowski is. what i'm saying is that they can't outdo themselves.

Sonic Youth 37 · 02.25.2008, 01:26 AM

I honestly didn't find Bardem that scary. He just walked about and killed people.

That is what was scary.

I was on the edge of my seat when he went into the trailer.

I just don't see it. I was honestly more frightened when Day-Lewis bitch slapped Paul Dano.

fargo

blood simple

o brother where art thou

barton fink

raising arizona

miller's crossing

not all of them are necessarily "better" than lebowski but ayayay they are such a trail of genius.

even that cockbags movie, the ladykillers, had its moments, but basically it suffers from a case of the tom hanks (yuck)

racehorse · 02.25.2008, 07:20 AM

i stayed up till 6am so i caught it all.
i'm happy bardem won - he's one of my favourite actors of all time, especially in films like Before Night Falls.
anyone know what he did in spanish to his mum?

batreleaser · 02.25.2008, 01:06 PM

i actually gota give the academy props for awarding the best movies despite the brutal violence they usually cringe upon, Gangs of New York anyone?
