"Zero Dark Thirty" ... it was excellent. If I were a voting member of the Academy, Best Picture. Definitely.

Did you like it more than Django, Greg?
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

A friend asked me this last night. They were both terrific for what they were, but so different I can't make the comparison.

Has anybody here seen The Good, the Bad, the Weird? I just read about it, and it sounds really cool.

It especially seems like something Foggle would like.

Yeah, I've seen it! It's great if you love strange Korean action/comedies and westerns. :D

Avaitor

Yeah, it was sold as the perfect companion to Django for a double-feature, which peaked my interest. I put it on my instant queue.

I've been wanting to get more into the recent Korean genre picture craze. Oldboy was a great start, and I wanna see what the rest of the country is up to.

Moonrise Kingdom is Wes Anderson's best movie, and easily one of the best of the year.

Sure wish it could've had more love at the Oscars.

Fun but it does seem like QT is starting to recycle himself a bit. Some moments seem to have come out of Kill Bill.

I can see that, but it is better paced and written than KB.

In hindsight, there are some serious editing problems in Django, though. Which is to be expected since it's Tarantino's first film without Sally Menke.

Dr. Ensatsu-ken

The main difference for me between Kill Bill and Django Unchained is that the latter actually has likable characters and is watchable.

Foggle

Just watched From Dusk Till Dawn. Now that was some great schlock!

Pharass

For what it's worth, Spark, I think you made the right decision.
I saw The Good, The Bad, The Weird recently. It was fun, that's really all I can think of to say about it. Oh, yes, the surprise towards the end actually took me by surprise. Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if there were some moments earlier in the film that hinted on such reveal that I were simply too obtuse to pick up on.
In every age
In every place
The deeds of men
Remain the same.

And Argo just won the SAG award.

Is it possible for it to make an upset and take the Oscar home? Anything's possible at this point.
