Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

Watched Casino for the first time in a while....Man what a great movie...I can never decide if I like that or Goodfellas more

For the NT Film Awards, we need more people. We've got 6 so far. Kev, Dirk, venom, you guys in?

Gonna organize and split the final shortlist for movies, then get something that works together for acting/writing/directing tomorrow.
What does it mean that an Best Picture Oscar nominee doesn't even make our shortlist?

Anyways I've been watching (read: painfully, slowly catching up on) American Horror Story. I think I watched South Park instead one week, tried to catch up, but that Halloween episode with gay Sylar made me give up a few times.
grin.gif
Finally got past it to the real treat though...Rubber Man.
eek.gif


I can't possibly understand how this show makes sense now. This show...that for the first few episodes, about a season of television plot went by every episode. That you only have to look at Coach Taylor's wife and the fact that she's holding back laughs every single scene to know they could not give a damn. That makes me cringe every time my dude from The Practice shows up, because I don't want to see him naked again.

Somehow that show...is starting to make sense and come together...

I think I found a nice balance between laughing, cringing and just enjoying the ridiculous to say, it may not be especially good, but it's an experience that has a few moments only they and Spartacus aim for every week. And that kinda makes me regret bailing on it. But who knows, maybe I'll hate it when it gets back...you know how you get in that deep, TV world cocoon, when you watch too many episodes of one show in a short time and it all starts feeling like gold?
laugh.gif


And it feels like every episode now has a good guest star, to get you through the buildups. That
devil.gif
Giants daughter is crazy as hell...making me forget that sweet, down-to-earth girl from Shooter and 127 Hours she used to be.
laugh.gif


Got a few eps left, gonna try see what I can get through tonight.

That that movie sucked, or was too overrated for us to include it.


Now put 'Our Idiot Brother' back on the list, please

Super 8's already on the list, it can't get too much worse than that.

Is Fast Five still on there? Oh, it is? Yeah, it just got worse than Super 8.

We've got 7 members in this...Academy, so far.
Me, Nos, CP, JRS, Big J, Ill and Kev
We're gonna hold off on nominations for now.

Anyone else seen enough that they could vote?
nerd.gif


Basically, if you've seen any of the movies on this list and think it was one of the best on the list...vouch for it.
Try and get people to check it out before nominations.
I'll get acting shortlists up soon.

I can see where they'd likely split the second season from the third, but it just seems like they'd have a tough time squeezing 18-20 hours outta the material here.


I remember reading somewhere that book two could be stretched into two seasons. I think it could be done. Season 2a could focus on the 4 kings making their preparations to fight for the crown and Season 2b could focus on the actual battle and the aftermath.

What I'm really waiting for is the season that covers Book 3.

Can wait to see the events that happened in that book shown on TV.

BTW Game of Thrones Season 2 starts April 1st.

This weekend I got thru Immortals, and The King's Speech.  Complete opposite ends of the spectrum. 
laugh.gif


Immortals was an obvious 300 clone, but to me it wasn't half bad actually.  For once, it was nice to see "Gods" cuttin fools down for a change.  None of it was all that fantastic, yet it was relatively entertaining, wouldn't rush to a theatre for it or anything.  But the whole entire time, all I could think about was "Superman has a chance"  Cahill handled this role just fine.  He showed that he can at least handle the physical aspect of Superman, he delivered a few good lines, now, just need a solid script, and Superman may just work out.  Really, that's all Immortals came down to for me, Cahill's performance, mixed in with the hot Slumdog chick. 

Speech was pretty slow, but I knew that going in, Firth of course was really really REALLY good, that could not have been an easy role to pull off.  Serious, you couldn't even tell that man was acting.  Just an epic performance by him.  I loved Rush tho, he was my fav character, and the scene where he sits in "the chair" was OUTSTANDING. 
eek.gif
laugh.gif
  Dude coulda been shot dead on the spot for that, and he handled it perfectly.  That scene was easily my favorite of the movie. 
smokin.gif
  And for possibly the first time, I saw a role that I actually like Bohnam Carter in.  I usually pay her no mind, but she was very good in this, wasn't a @#$%^ wasn't a witch to Firth, she was alright.  Elegant, classy lady for a change.  She did pretty good for herself in a movie with 2 incredible male roles
 
No, movies I'm trying to have removed from consideration, or whatever we're doing. 
laugh.gif
  I figured we're in the second round or so by now. 

Bottom line, I have no friggin idea what the hell we're supposed to be doing, but it's fun. 

Vote Fast Five...hold on.....name of this thing.....as our "popcorn" film of the year for 2011.

That...actually makes more sense...

Crossing those off is unacceptable. And we're not getting rid of any more
laugh.gif
That was our list to pick from, no more rounds or whatever (right MrO?).
 
I was gonna have us campaign for different movies or w/e, but that'll both take too long and considering there's 7 of us so far, be way too many movies to try and cover.

So the way I figure we've got ~ 40+40 movies in the lists.
We keep cutting down, say you have to cross out at least 10 movies from each list for this 2nd round.
And we'll keep going til we're down to about 15 or 20 to each list.
Then everyone votes for the 5-10 best from each, and we'll get our official nominees.

So for now, Nos, JRS, Big J, Kev and Illmatic all need to dump 10+ from each of these lists:

Dude kept winnie the pooh, and crossed off Fast Five, X Men First Class and Crazy Stupid Love. 

For a popcorn movie list. 

Winnie, the, Pooh. 

Yeah


Can we add weight's to some of the voters votes?  We need to.

I did? Whoops. Must have nostalgia'd a little bit and subconsciously ignored it.

A quick pass through. I didn't mark off any that I didn't see, if it helps I don't care about the ones in red so count that as a cross off too, I guess.
