Didn't say I agree, just seems like something they would get a huge boner for. I have yet to catch up with many of the movies getting buzz, so i need to rectify that.
I have yet to see it but I'm going to guess that Gosling is going to get at least a nod. He may be the strongest contender from the film to actually win even.
yeah- that was the point I was going for earlier. it might even be a decent flick- but as soon as I saw the first ad for it, I just imagined hollywood biz people falling in love with it because it seems to celebrate and honor... them.
Blanchett's Blue Jasmine is right there with BGanz's Hitler & DD-L's Lincoln among the best performances of the century, but i get your meaning. Turned Woody Allen's comic fetish of the modern female neurotic into almost a O'Neill/Tennessee Williams-worthy heroine. Will jump on your Hoss.
The original I assume? It's classic noir and Widmark gives a very believable performance. His other great noir role was in Kiss of Death.
She was spectacular in that film. Makes me wonder, what performances stand out as being greatest.
Does Jimmy Page start strumming a guitar in your head every time things make you wonder?
Loved the movie, and that ending is one my favorite things I have seen in a movie I have watched recently.
When you're a widower, you tend to put your deceased beloved on waaaay too high a pedestal and it makes you all the sadder. When i get there with my Mary, i just play a few minutes of Jasmine and it all comes back to ground.

I don't really have it broken down into categories, but the first few that come to mind
"Quiet Man" is a fantastic film and often gets trotted out around St Patrick's Day. It's a fun film for the most part. I went through the town it was shot in over in Ireland on a trip many years ago.
She carries this movie through and through. I haven't seen "Being Julia" but I can't think of another film where she's the lead. Proceeds from "20th..." this weekend went to Planned Parenthood.
Loved this movie. Best of the year.
lol.
really enjoyed this one too. one of Leigh's better movies... nice to see him pull away from the human/sexual depravity topic (which I liked in his earlier movies, but which also started to feel played out thematically).
I remember in the mid-late 80s when self-appointed poker genius Mike Caro wrote a 5-pg article in the mag which would become Card Player on why the climactic scene in Cincinnati Kid could not have happened. Between northern NV losing its only pot-limit holdem game (leaving no regular p/l or small-blind n/l limit games in all of Nevada - i actually tried the last vestiges of old winter racetrack circuit for a month) and this evidence of the nerds taking over, we were all bemoaning the death of our beloved game.
Everybody Wants Some!!
Yeah, I prefer this one over Leigh's darker stuff. Secrets & Lies is excellent, but Leigh's style can get pretty depressing at times.El Floppo said:

loved Secrets and Naked... really liked Topsy. life is sweet and high hopes were ok, career girls meh, happy go lucky bleh.
Looking at the trailers from this weekend, it would appear that Damon even tries to rock an accent. While I like the guy, he's not really an actor that I would believe with any accent beyond his withered Boston one.
