ARE YOU ON CRACK?!? She made me want to set fire to the theatre and shoot myself at the same time (and I actually liked the movie!)
Could she have possibly been more whispery, slow, and melodramatic? Her performance actually made me want to not have sex with her, and that's impressive.

Animated feature film: Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door

Uh, that move came out in 2001...ergo it does not qualify.

Hey, I like her performance. You don't have to. I think she did a damn good job portraying Arwen.

I went by the US release which should have qualified it for this years Oscars.

Well, it shouldn't be. I totally agree with Robert on that point.

Maybe not, but the fact that they left off both Millennium Actress and Tokyo Godfathers makes me very angry indeed.

That's it TGOD time! *Jumps in X-wing*

Back on course.

seriously though: Master and Commander > Return of the King
that gets my vote. i really don't give a shit about anything else. Awards Shows nauseate me....the shallow people, the elitism, the elevation of highschool culture. gah! Besides, shameless autofellatio should be left to the exclusive domain of Ron Jeremy films, where it belongs.

Stay on target.

in reference to the thread, of course

Kill Bill > RoTK. It's the most fun I've had at the movies since, actually, I honestly cannot remember having that much fun at the movies. It felt like seeing A New Hope for the first time.

Queeb, i like Ben Kingsly, i really do. (so does the acadamy) But i think (and hope) this is Bill Murray's year.

*insert RotK or Kill Bill for catagories*

I hope this year is better on the movies.

No way. Kingsley DESERVES this award. I'll agree that Murray was good. Phenomenal, even. But Kingsley put in the best piece of acting I've seen since Rainman, and that's saying quite a lot.

The beauty of his role is that it was executed PERFECTLY. His performance was literally flawless. Murray was good, but in a lot of places I felt that he could have done a bit of a better job. This may be because we don't have any prior character depictions to go off of, but be that as it may, I never really FELT for Murray's character the way I did for Kingsley's.

Put another way: No one else could have played Kingsley's role. I could name a few that could have played Bill Murray's role just as well as he did.

Well, with the Oscars on Sunday, I'll say that it doesn't matter who wins, because that's not what the Oscars are about. It's about a bunch of celebrities in outfits that could put a kid through college telling others how greedy, materialistic, and selfish they are.
