Back Atonement or ill pay a large pack of rabies infested Dogs to nibble on your crotch.

Juno. I mean, I haven't seen it yet, but I bet it's wonderful.

No Country for Old Men

And Atonement = Pride and Prejudice + source novel that might praised higher than even that novel is. In other words, omg.

There are a ton of screenings for it, if yr interested.

I doubt it's Oscar chances, unless it gets like, a huge huge push. It's just too "cool" for its own good.

Wait, what? I didn't know that. That sucks.

You hate the Coen Brothers and are telling me I have bad taste in movies?

I'm not really backing anybody this year. I spent all my mental effort hating on Elah, Lions for Lambs and Rendition, and now that they are gone or will have low impact I don't really care who gets nominated.

Sure I think NO Country is still the film kind of in the "lead" and I think Hairspray still has BP chances, but if they aren't there on the morning I could give a shit less.

I haven't even seen any Oscar aiming films that aren't out on DVD.

Ratatouille NOT aside...

It's all about the Juno baby

Says the man who got Sicko, 28 Weeks Later and 300 in his

Back Hairspray! Have you seen it yet, Loyal? If not, it comes out on DVD this Tuesday.

Come on man, you just pushed 300 and Transformers out of your top 10 and you're judging me for having one of the best reviewed movies of the year at #1?
FYI: Bourne has the same amount of 100 ratings on metacritic as your number one Once AND it is by far the best reviewed of the three Bournes. (85 vs. 73 and 68). Plus it has a 100% COTC rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Just because you didn't like it, doesn't make it any less brilliant.

Loyal doesn't like shakey cam.

Although I would agree that Ultimatum is not as good as Supremacy.

And Transformers will likely take home the 2nd or 3rd most amount of Oscar awards this year by a single film

Juno's RT grade and avg rating are both higher than LMS's at the moment. It could be the darkhorse that turns into a huge contender after getting nominated and winning Comedy/Musical at the Globes. But "Atonement" and "There Will Be Blood" seem like "safer" bets at the moment.

TWBB is the film I'm backing - its trailer is the first one I have seen that seriously makes me feel like I'm watching the trailer for what will be regarded as a classic someday.

I completely agree with that. One of the best trailers I've seen period.

I think I'll end up backing TWBB too...

Dude, I got chills seeing Paul Dano twitch around as a crazy preacher-type.

Thanks for the list! I can't make the first Columbus screening but hopefully one of the next two I will.

Loyal, back Death Sentence and Beowulf. You will make Levy mad as hell, thus everyone else really happy.

It only is fun when he's serious about it and so far there is no Oscar contender this year that I hate

We need a "In the Valley of Elah" type film to really pull in the hatred.

There are murmurs around Hollywood that Haggis is pushing his soldiers-centered follow-up "Videotapes from Iraq" up to a December release.

Now that's just not even funny.

Positive Jon had me at "murmurs" lol

However, don't be surprised if we see some FYC ads for Death Sentence. It won't be the first time...
