It's just funny to me because I could make the case that starting song tournaments to vote on the best Beatles deep-cuts or whatever is also kinda nerdy.

IMO the biggest crime of 1997 was that Boogie Nights didn't get a Best Picture nomination

Yeah, Boogie Nights deserved nomination for sure.

I feel a similar way about Glengarry Glenn Ross not being nominated in 92.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is the best in the series.

I totally agree with you regarding Titanic...great film with great re-watch appeal but no, it did not deserve the Oscar for Best Picture.

Sylvester Stallone deserved the Oscar for Best Screenplay for Rocky (1976), and for Best Supporting Actor for Creed (2015)

The Lord of the Rings trilogy is a criminally overrated steaming pile of sh_t. Critical acclaim? WTF? Millions of fans? Nerds!
There's no way the screenplay for Rocky deserved the Oscar over the screenplay for Network. He should have won for Creed though. I also agree with you regarding Jim Carrey.

The ending to IT (2017) derailed the entire movie.

Avatar, yes! Complete and utter garbage movie.
Avatar's essentially Disney's Pocahontas... in outer space.

Billy Zane is the best thing about Titanic.

Well, I think that Star Wars is better than Annie Hall.

Going back to an earlier post, how is The Lone Ranger not a more revered film? For me it’s go one major flaw: Depp’s casting. I’d rather they’d cast a Native American actor, for sure, but, that said, Depp does commendable work.

And the story is so subversive too. You got a kids movie about fighting agains the tides of progress. The film ends with one of the heroes as a living exposition under a half-built Golden Gate Bridge, The other never to be heard from again.

Also, Tonto is Harmonica from Once Upon a Time in the West with various callbacks to Jim Jarmusch, John Ford and action sequences straight out of a Buster Keaton film.

I thought they buried that movie with all those E.T. cartridges.

Not sure how unpopular this opinion is, but I think Ang Lee's The Hulk is far better than Leterrier 's The Incredible Hulk.

Neither were that great.

I liked Lee's. End of.

Saunch 10-28-17 02:34 PM

I like Lee’s Hulk movie too. It’s too strange to hate. A big stylistic mess that tries hard to blend paternal trauma with over-the-top action.

Hulk vs radioactive poodles!

Exactly what it sounds like.
