Well that's it MoFos. Thoughts? Opinions? Discuss.

I haven't seen any of these so I can't really say. I would imagine these are good choices. I kind if want to see Tammy though.

I guess it's implied for an award that has a negative connotation, but some of these seem like someone had an ax to grind.

There was no way I was going to see Turtles in the theater. Then the dvd trailers started coming out and my nostalgia kicked in. It was easily forgettable and Shredder looked like something off the Home Shopping Network, but it was coherent enough with top notch cgi.

The Other Woman...Let me preface this by saying that I will watch about anything on HBO to try and eek out all the value I can. The Other Woman probably deserves every nod it gets. It was a shame to see the Kingslayer reduced to such a role. Add to that, Cameron Diaz is...lacking.

I give less then two s***s about the Razzies.

Has there ever been a good movie version of Annie?

Of the films nominated for worst movie I've only seen TMNT and it is a worthy nomination. Surprised Pompeii isn't nominated - that was awful.

Anyway, my worst film of the year has been nominated for a Best Picture Oscar so what do I know

What one is that Sane?

I'm clearly not Sane but, here's the IMDb page:

Raul means the film that's also nominated for Best Picture.

I think he's talking about American Sniper. This is his quote from the Best Picture thread:

I think you know which one ... American Sniper.

Again, I'm not who it is targeted at so don't take my word for it

Who is it targeted at then?

This is what happens when I try to be a helpful member...

Members of the Academy

I guess folk like me.

Sadly, I'm much more familiar with these nominees than I am the Academy Award nominees.

Very pleased to see Cameron Diaz' nomination for Annie...I remember thinking WTF? when I heard she had been cast in the role.

A more sensible answer ...

It's a highly patriotic film but when you feel nothing for the subject patriotism just comes across as manipulation. To an American the use of American flags in a movie may cause emotion ... To an Australian it causes nothing. Unfortunately the movie doesn't go beyond that. Nothing else is looked at with any depth. Kyle himself is the only thing with any depth but the film backs away from exploring that depth - it appears as though he may be affected by what he has done but the film never explores it. When it finally appeared as though it was going to explore some more interesting themes, after his final tour to Iraq, it ended.

The "bad guy" in the film who apparently is completely fictitious and was invented so the movie could have a bad guy is simply a cardboard cutout who shoots Americans. Basically, there was nothing here for me beyond the character of Kyle himself, which was left largely unexplored, and a decent performance from Cooper. Add to that a couple of scenes that seemed unbelievably unrealistic and overly manipulative and I was left with a movie I completely disliked.

Many people thought the best aspect of Expendables 3 was Gibson... So that is a rather weird nomination.

And generally I can't take this razzies h*t seriously either.
