    General Discussion > "The Oscars Are Tonight" > February 24th, 2008 > 5:00PM > Metropolisforever:

     

    "The Oscars are the awards created with the purpose of formalizing celebrity circle jerking, something more Americans care about than anything else..."

     

    Oops! I had the wrong thread. I'm admitting I copied and pasted the above onto THIS thread. And I'm also sorry if the shoe that fits...is too tight. Guess this idiot will go the IGNORE route.

  2. Welcome aboard Birdgirl. Don't forget to use the "IGNORE MEMBER" button. Some of the posters on our illustrious board can be real M.F.-ers. This way if you encounter anyone being rude, crude or lewd...you can always ignore 'em and not be subjugated to their self-hating spewings masquerading as the disingenuous [/i]"in my humble opinion"[/i] line of poop.

     

    Looking forward to your thoughts on classic motion pictures. :-)

     

    Now as for Why "Psycho" gets an R rating? Pretty rough stuff seeing a woman hacked to death. (For 1960).

  3. Hey Hywdjk...re: Jodie Foster: "I don't know. That one scared me. And I kinda wish she had been placed in a Rebecca recreation. The personal subtext would have been so appropriate."

     

    Whaddya mean??

     

    Also...I thought Charlize Theron as Grace Kelly in "Dial M for Murder" looks fantastic!!!

  4. Quite an oversight re: Brad Renfro and the great Whoopi Goldberg. I think the Academy might've been rushed. Or maybe he wasn't a big enough star for them, or maybe the folks that put together the show and the clips are not god film historians and can't see pass their own ****.

     

    Kim...are you suggesting that young Renfro may not have been included in the Academy Awards' memoriam section becuz he did the wrong kind of heroin? (And the kind you used was better?) Geez, so it gets back to being about you...once again. Folks read below and let Kim's words speak for themselves in case I've misinterpreted them. I don't want to get in the middle of any East Coast/West Coast heroin war.

     

    To paraphrase the Merm: "Anything you can snort, I can snort better. I can snort anything better than you."

     

    R.I.P. Brad!

  5. You all have blown my mind with the names of Crowe, Bale, Cate, Kate, Audra (though she probably won't have a big film career, but she owns Broadway) Norton, Diane Lane, Charlize and McAvoy. Jolie's included when we're not distracted by her private life. I am also a big fan of Ashley Judd's.

     

    Naomi Watts and Laura Linney I think are the best of the best. I am totally convinced every time I see them. Naomi blew me away in "Mulholland Drive" and "21 Grams" as was already noted. I must add Benicio Del Toro as an amazing actor.

     

    Prettiest: There are some stunning beauties in movies today Catherine Zeta Jones hands down. A direct descendant of Hedy Lamarr's beauty.

    But looking at the Oscars the other nite, I've got to say the absolute prettiest girl in Hollywood (with the added beauty of being pregnant) bar none is JESSICA ALBA. Tell me who's prettier...go on...I dare ya.

     

    HELEN MIRREN (sexy as all HELL) is the best of the best. (In fact in NYC on March 26th, she will be interviewed by the NY Times. I've got my ticket already! See TimesCenter Stage on-line).

     

    Nice giving a shout-out to the newer folks, and nice seeing a different name creating a thread. One reason I ran here.

  6. I enjoyed "No Country..." and "...Blood." I think (AGAIN) Hollywood went the sensationalized route. "No Country..." was more accessible; a relentless chase film. But I thought "...Blood" was the more thought-provoking film, mature, not easy answers. Smart to put Javier Bardem in the Best Supporting category to give him a chance for an Academy Award. I take nothing from him; I love him...I lust him.

     

    But Daniel Day Lewis I swear...
