Crash was fuckin' awful. It's impossible to love someone that loves that film. You missed my joke, dude. No, I got it. My thread is obvious. But I also never pass up a chance to call Crash fuckin' awful.

Re: Benjamin Button Does Not Deserve A Best Picture Nomination I think Milk and Frost/Nixon are way more vulnerable to getting snubbed at this point than Button.

Re: Benjamin Button Does Not Deserve A Best Picture Nomination Errr...I think Milk, Frost/Nixon, Button and TDK are pretty snubbable at the moment. Hopefully it's not Milk. Or maybe they'll all be snubbed! and Slumdog too!

Re: Benjamin Button Does Not Deserve A Best Picture Nomination TDK is pretty much the only snubbable one at this point. It missed SAG, the Globes, and BAFTA, and is a comic book movie... it's easily the weakest of the big 5.

Agreed... however, the only movies that seems capable of overtaking it missed all of the same things, and then some. At least, I don't see anything besides Wall-E sneaking in there. And even if something else had a remote chance, it would also have to overcome a SAG/DGA/PGA snub. _________________ Retroviral VideosA film-based project created for the purpose of helping raise awareness about HIV/AIDS, specifically in South Africa.

Re: Benjamin Button Does Not Deserve A Best Picture Nomination Benjamin Button does deserve the nomination, but this board doesn't deserve Benjamin Button.

Re: Benjamin Button Does Not Deserve A Best Picture Nomination It would be funnier if the person who made that video understood that Star Wars is just the same as King Arthur, and Pirates is Star Wars, they're all the same movie by his logic.

Re: Benjamin Button Does Not Deserve A Best Picture Nomination You're confusing archetypes and Joseph Campbell with similarities between two films scripted by the same writer.

Re: Benjamin Button Does Not Deserve A Best Picture Nomination it's odd that the two movies are so similar yet feel so different. Maybe it's the director behind them, or the mood they go for, but despite how annoyingly similar they are in terms of characters, general plot, etc... they don't feel that alike to me.

Re: Benjamin Button Does Not Deserve A Best Picture Nomination Good stuff, though the only really-really funny parts were probably "He meets a weird black dude!" and "It's Exactly like Gump...except no AIDS".

One is amazing, while the other isn't. True that, Gump still amazes me.

I can't see the video but is that the Spike Feresten one?  _________________A hot man once wrote: Urgh, I have to throw out half my underwear because it's too tight.
