  • Wow, what a crappy year for the Oscars.  (stole the link off of fark)  Have any of those nominees for Best Picture gross anything worthy?

  • Your favorite band sucks, and you have terrible taste in movies.

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Does gross really matter? I do agree that it's a weak year, though. All the good movies were docus (only one was nominated) and non-Oscar films (like Shaun of the Dead)</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>I have not, and that is the point. When they came out i was never excited about them like, say, LoTR, Chicago, A Beautiful Mine, Gladiator, American Beauty, and Titanic.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>See, the thing is that it was a great year for action movies, but of course, the Oscars don't pay attention to that. You'd think they would create a category for "Best Action Movie" or something. The best they have to hope for is SFX.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>All of those except Chicago and Titanic were worthy of an Oscar. Chicago was mostly because I think musicals should stay at Broadway, and Titanic was won during another bad movie year.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I meant download DVD-rips of iffy films, the ones you don't really want to pay for for some reason. Or, if you want to watch it again while you wait for the DVD release. Some movies pique my curiousity, but I just won't pay for them (like, say, Day After Tomorrow, to see if Emmerich still sucks)</div>
