I mean... I don't love it, but it's good, and the only viable alternative makes me bleed out of uncomfortable orifaces.

Call me a dreamer, go Munich.

I'd rather Narnia, Brokeback and Crash win everything than Munich, Good Night, or King Kong.

I'd rather see the films I like and love not nominated than be associated with that awards show.

whoa whoa whoa whoa.

I can't wait for the next award season. I never thought I'd long for period pieces.

The Academy will go ga-ga for a Martin Scorsese remake that shouldn't be happening and a Clint Eastwood film starring Ryan Philipee, Jesse Bradford and Paul Walker.

A handful of sleeping pills and fine French red wine is calling me.

Huh?

I disagree actually. I want the movies I like to win, because it stimulates more interest in them, raises their financial return, and the industry is then encouraged to produce more works of a similar nature. These awards or something that pushes (this year) smaller movies into the limelight for awhile, and they benefit form the exposure. Their cast and directors have access to more future projects and funding.

Go BBM

I'm hoping for Flight 93 and Idlewild to make some sort of Academy impact. Well I hope they are fantastic, but after that I hope they garner attention.

The first because I love Paul Greengrass and the second because I like black people... sometimes!

You think Idlewild might be really good too?

By the way, I saw the trailer for Flight 93 the other night. Looks like garbage.

Or at the very least, support Dreamgirls.

Out of the two 9/11 films, I think Stone's is more interesting. I could be wrong however, if Flight 93 is anything like Bloody Sunday.

CHUD was on the set and says Greengrass (himself being non-American) is not dipping into flag-pumping hysterics or drama for drama's sake.

THAT would be refreshing.

I thought August was another "dumping ground", Roo?

Ah, I hadn't heard this. Than the trailer is definately mis-leading, and I really hope what CHUD noted is true.

Greengrass: Flight 93 is very much like Bloody Sunday – it’s being made in a similar way, and in a sense it’s one of those films where you just go, ‘I should make that film.’ I spent a lot of time over the years, going way back to the very beginning, making films about terrorism. What it’s about, what it means, why it happens, what we can and can’t do about it – all of those sorts of things. Most, if not all of those, have been within a context of Ireland, but the lessons do travel. There are truths about these things. That’s the interesting thing about Flight 93.
