It's about the Spanish civil war in the 1940s, as well as a girl's trip into a fantasy land. It's a story about growing up, the cruelty of human nature, questioning authority, believing in an ideal, and a whack of other themes. My favourite film from last year.
you forgot that it had no emotional core and seemed more like an exercise in detached, violent imagery than storytelling.

Good speech by the short film guy but he had to talk pretty fast to cram it in.

How's that homeschooling working out for your kid, Will Smith?
 
After being at the Kodak Theater this year it's hard not to remember that the whole complex is attached to a mini shopping mall. There is a Claire's Accessories next door and one of those Johnny Rockets.
 
What categories have passed so far? Did Pan's win for Best Original Screenplay and Best Foreign Film yet? :p Or did Danish Poet take one of these awards?

Better than most of us that will never see the money his little man will see in the next 10 years. :lol

It won for makeup and art direction so far

Danish poet was short animated

there's probably a liveblog or something if you cant find a stream
 
Funniest moment so far has been Steve Carell acting confused after Ellen's lame joke. That had my dad and I laughing, but otherwise the monologue was a snooze. So much material, so many targets, so little funny. Amazing.

Ellen stand-up is pretty funny, too. But this isn't.

Ami put it best awhile back.

Will Smith should spend less time acting and more time teaching his kid how to read.

what was the joke? i missed it and only saw Steves reaction.
 
I decide to actually turn to the Oscars, and I get this shit. Looks like I had the right idea all along *changes the channel back*...
 
How do they decide which Iwo Jima movie was better?

I always thought Flags was the big commercial movie and Iwo Jima was the smaller documentary type film. Is this true?

that was the dumbest thing ive seen today, and ive seen Kersal Massive earlier.


You guys have no sense of movie making. They are doing sound effects with their mouths and bodies.

How can you not be amazed?

Two sides of the same coin. One from the perspective of the Americans, and one from the perspective of the Japanese. Companion pieces... but Iwo Jima is a far more dense and complex film, imo.
