sank you berry much.
sank you my supporter.
sank you all...my stuff
sank you my pencil.
sank you uh...the academy.
sank you animation.
sank you my company (enter company name here).
uh...
domo arigato Mr. Roboto


Cut the guy some slack. If GAF wasn't filled with geeks obsessed with Japanese culture, I would ask for an honest assessment of how many of you would be prepared to give a decent acceptance speech in Japanese.

I'm now fully convinced that Pixar bribes the academy members with coke, money, Ferraris and the finest transsexual whores in LA so that their trophy case can become fatter.

WALL-E wasn't the best animated film last year. Hell, it wasn't even the best Disney animated film last year. Kung Fu Panda > Bolt > stoopid robot who put me to sleep within a half-hour. Fuck that shit, why do they even bother with the award if they keep handing it to Pixar every other year?


Are you retarded?

so who is going to pretend they've seen any of these?

I actually saw them all. One of the Landmark Theatres in Seattle screened all the live action and animated short films.

edit: Damn, I'm 5/6 and the wife is now 4/6.
 
One of the best looking actors out there standing next to, inarguably, the most disgusting. Good job Academy.

(And hello slow ass GAF.)

dude - he was obviously being a smart-ass, hence the appreciation here.

'thank you all my stuff?' - who the fuck says that in any language to a national audience?

No, usually Gotham City looks like New York.

Gotham City doesn't really look like New York IMO. It also shouldn't look like Chicago though. That was one of my big grips with TDK, the city really didn't have any of the personality that the previous depictions did.

Holy shit you're soooooo wrong.
The whole point of going to a movie is to be entertained, not to be put to sleep within a half-hour, wake up, and wonder why it was. So. Boring.

Don't hate me because I have a different opinion.
 
This Academy Awards feels thrown together and rushed so far. It's almost like it was put together by high school kids with way too much money to work with.

The set is nice though.

No, that really isn't the whole point of a movie. It's part of it, yeah. But anyway, you're also one of the tens of people who thought Wall-E was boring.

Wall-E is the biggest step in animation since Toy Story. But enough of that, this is the Oscars.

If Hollywood didn't pick middlebrow tripe, would the Academy Awards be the Academy Awards? Hopefully, most of Pixar's stuff gets forgotten quickly.

I've always tolerated differing opinions and whatnot. I don't have any problems with those that prefer Kung Fu Panda or whatever, but I do have a problem with those that tell me that my opinion is flatout wrong, that I love tripe, or that someone who agrees with me must have been bribed. You guys can piss off. Seriously.

Chicago has way more personality than the previous goofy depictions in movies of Gotham City. Much rather have a real city than crappy CG or a big movie set.

A pun due to the recession?
