I feel like they're snubbing Robert Downey Jr. for best actor in Sherlock Holmes. I was enthralled with his portrayal and I've never much cared for Downey or Holmes before that movie.
Hell, I'm going out to watch Sherlock Holmes in the discount theater tonight since I liked it so much the first time.
Good show on the soundtrack nod, though. Good luck Mr. Zimmer.
Because I would give it to my boyfriend by way of thanks for all of the delicious, healthy dinners he cooks for me to prevent me from only eating quick snack-food junk in the evenings while I watch sci-fi shows.
@OOOLDGREGGG: And they neeeed a new director. To have a movie with bad acting in it can be blamed on the actors, but five years with no visible push towards the acting improving shows a shite director who is satisfied with any old crap.
Ssssooooo we're counting 20 years of marriage as a mental illness now?
"Sexual Interest/Arousal Disorder in Women and Sexual Interest/Arousal Disorder in Men, which are for people who spend more than 6 months not having sex or not showing any interest in it."
@Hamslicer: Agreed. One giant squid is scary, but a whole army of little ones is much more unnerving.
Of course Raimi could also just skip right over the giant squid and use the even creepier species, Colossal Squid. That'd stick a potato in Disney's tailpipe.
Judging from the comment thus far I have one criticism about your top ten list: it should have been a top twenty-five list.
I fully agree with you, though on these movies.
As far as cool superheroes I want to put forth Leeloo. She was genetically engineered so that counts as super, right? Although she did costar rather than headline so your argument is still on fairly solid ground.
I don't get why we can't have a good female-centered superhero movie, either. Who doesn't love cute chicks kicking ass? Why Hollywood gotta always ruin it like that?
WHAT!?!?! Tim Burton? Have you seeeeeen what he did to Alice? I want to punch his face into a fine powder he ruined that one so much. He's past his prime as a visionary. Now it's just him asking
"How many ways can I make people look at my scary wife and popular best friend trounce around going awkwardly, going 'la la laaa'?"
Powder, I say.
@skippitymonster: Agreed! I really do wish that the most fervent of the anti-gay marriage protesters would apply their intensity and determination to speaking out against children who are abused or neglected That is an issue that genuinely affects us all as a society.
If two people love each other and are dedicated to raising their child in a healthy environment then I don't really care if one is a balloon and the other is a unicorn.
Well... maybe I'd care a little, but only because they would be crazy awesome.
@lady_rinehart: same for Buffy being a lesbian all of a sudden. not a REAL lesbian, she just has sex with chicks, yo. With no lead-up or anything. I'm finding the comics overall pretty disjointed and inexplicable.
