What a shocker, a movie about movies/actors wins the best award. Hollywood loves hearing/watching about itself and this "awards" show is the ultimate in self idolization. And how weird that they don't give a "best" actor or actress anymore, it's now "award for performance as an actor", HUH? they were all performances?!? how do you awardd one if it's not for the "best". Total PC just like the rest of the world where you have to get an award for participation, not allowed to make someone feel bad for saying someone else is better And I watched maybe the last ten minutes and in that am't of time heard three pleas for awareness - ALS, Alzheimer's and Mexicans. They should call these the Awareness Awards Who wanted to get rid of ALS, alzhiemers and mexicans? I'd like to subscribe to their newsletter.... |

You ever see "Rushmore"? That's one example of Anderson's innate ability to construct off-beat, multi-layered characters, who have many human failings. The flick is also one of the most perfect examples of effective storytelling in all three acts. There is no meandering second act malaise. Rushmore is his only "great" film. Everything since has been meh. I'd put Bottle Rocket ahead of anything since Rushmore, too. I'd vote for Royal Tenenbaums, love that movie |

Totally respect your view. I never heard of "The Squid and the Whale". Just looked it up on IMDB. Looks interesting. Thanks for the reference. Oh it's a pretty great movie. 'Small' film in a way but also genuinely funny - not too heavy. For me it just spot-on captured the era's feel. Def check it out. |

Rushmore is his only "great" film. Everything since has been meh. I'd put Bottle Rocket ahead of anything since Rushmore, too. Yeah - I would agree. BOTTLE ROCKET was pretty great; so was RUSHMORE - and I even liked that one about the family in the Brooklyn brownstone well enough (until the odd last 5mins). But as Anderson has gotten more and more control, his films have grown more and more 'interior' IMO. BTW - the best movie involving a Brooklyn brownstone is THE SQUID AND THE WHALE. Nails the early 80's, divorced parents, living in the city vibe . . . Squid was a great movie but was not a Wes Anderson film. He was one of the producers. The film was written and directed by Noah Baumbach. I will agree it had Anderson's fingerprints all over it however. |

They should call these the Awareness Awards Weird, contradictory post, VTN. First you chastise Hollywood for being too narcissistic. Then you mock them for calling attention ("awareness") to several medical/ social causes. The Oscars are a huge, global platform. Why not make take a stand on these issues. Also, I saw all the nominated flicks. If anything, "Birdman" showed more of the underside of Hollywood. I would have voted it the best picture, with "imitation Game" and "Boyhood" as a very close second and third. Not contradictory. See, this was about two different things. I predicted Birdman would win because the Academy/Hollywood loves movies about itself. That's about who they chose to bestow the award on. That's about who GAVE the awards. I also predicted the Stephen Hawking guy would win; they always award the performance with the most difficult physical challenges even if it's not the best acting performance per se (although that's a different topic). The "awareness" thing is about the presentation itself (the "show") where they feel the need to elevate their little awards presentation into social relevance by discussing things that are actually important to society. That's about who RECEIVED the awards. |

wtf are you talking about? better yet how about you man up and tell us who you are Hey, you were the one posting those ridiculous comments. I appreciate that opinions on films vary. But anyone who calls those two movies garbage and unwatchable has lost any credibility and grip on reality. And don't deflect criticism by changing the subject. As I said from day one, I am not a former JI/JN/GG poster. Capito? My grip on reality is firmly in place, unlike yours as one who insists are perpetuating a lie. One thing I do "capito" however is that even though you claim to not be a former poster of JI/JN/GG, you can very easily become a former poster of The Hampur. get it? |
