Re: FUCK THE WEINSTEINS Personally I think The Reader is better than The Dark Knight (maybe not Wall-E)
But you guys said you wanted a surprise... you got one.

Re: FUCK THE WEINSTEINS - The Reader = Chocolat I think one thing I learned over the last two byears - NEVER underestimate the FUCKING British fraction.
Atonement had barely any precursors and now The Reader and both made it.
As long as there's a British flick in the race with somewhat of a chance...it's making it!

Re: FUCK THE WEINSTEINS - The Reader = Chocolat wasn't Happy-Go-Lucky and Michael Sheen in Frost/Nixon all the British they needed?

Re: FUCK THE WEINSTEINS - The Reader = Chocolat The Weinsteins are amazing, Harvey must threaten to sit on all the oscar voters to get his films in.

Re: FUCK THE WEINSTEINS - The Reader = Chocolat roo wrote: I like Chocolat btw. I haven't seen it. But I think as a matter of fact this nom will probably go down with the same feeling as the one for Chocolat. Only that at least Chocolat was a relative hit with $70 million or so... _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Re: FUCK THE WEINSTEINS - The Reader = Chocolat Chocalat was a more pleasant movie than The Reader, subject wise.

Re: FUCK THE WEINSTEINS - The Reader = Chocolat Yes yes, obviously.
But you know what I'm getting at. The Reader - Chocolat and The Dark Knight - Almost Famous.

Re: FUCK THE WEINSTEINS - The Reader = Chocolat No way, Almost Famous is 10x the movie that The Dark Knight is.

Re: FUCK THE WEINSTEINS - The Reader = Chocolat Chocolat was fine. Not the worst nominee ever to get such a bashing.

Re: FUCK THE WEINSTEINS - The Reader = Chocolat roo wrote: I like Chocolat btw. Me too. I think it just irritates me in retrospect because it's likely the movie that pushed out Almost Famous, which is one of my favorite movies. P.S. Lena Olin was in both Chocolat and The Reader. The Weinsteins' good luck charm?

Re: FUCK THE WEINSTEINS - The Reader = Chocolat Here's the deal: thinking it over, I'm kinda glad the Weinsteins have re-emerged here.
Everything is more interesting with a villain.

Re: FUCK THE WEINSTEINS - The Reader = Chocolat I kind of feel bad for The Reader.
I mean, I know a lot of people here don't like it, but I feel like it's going to go down in history as "that movie that screwed The Dark Knight out of a Best Picture nomination."
