Thanx u guys for making the new girl feel welcome! This site rox!

I had low expectations, too, and was disappointed w/ some of the changes, but I thought technically they did a good job, and as an action flick I found it thoroughly enjoyable. My point in bringing it up was that BECAUSE of the fact that it was an action/ scifi type movie, it was sure not to win or be nominated for much of anything. As if a performance worthy of a best acting nom couldn't possibly come from an action film.

(NOT that Spiderman had such outstanding acting. But I did love JJJ

).

Anyway, back to griping about TTT not winning best pic...

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-25-2003, 11:26 PM

Nothing to gripe about. It wasn't.

Lalaith · 03-28-2003, 02:02 PM

Was Chicago really the BEST movie of the year? Was there no better one?

Elvengirl · 03-28-2003, 02:08 PM

I personally didn't see what was so great about Chicago. So I ask you: What was so great about Chicago?

The only reason why Chicago got so much "academy attention" was because it had 3 famous actors/actresses; Richard Gere, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Renee Zellwegger. In my opinion, they aren't that great, but the oscar people seem to think so. Plus, moulin rouge wasnt good...but it had Nicole Kidman in it..so..you know.

You didn't like Moulin Rouge? I loved it.

I didn't hate it. I guess I just didn't enjoy it.

The plot or setting or something didn't fit for me...I don't know. Chicago was better than Moulin Rouge though.

Lalaith · 03-30-2003, 07:24 AM

Do you like Musicals in general?

Legolas_GreenLeaf · 03-30-2003, 10:18 AM

yeah I do. There are many musicals that I like. Except my type of movies are action/adventure/fantasy. I liked Chicago and Moulin Rouge...but not enough for best picture at the academy awards.

Lalaith · 03-31-2003, 07:25 AM

So what would have been your choice for best movie this year and the last year?

Legolas_GreenLeaf · 03-31-2003, 03:45 PM

FOTR and TTT, of course!

Lalaith · 04-01-2003, 04:40 PM

I was afraid asking this question because I thought I knew your answer (and I did).

gandalfstormcrow · 04-01-2003, 08:05 PM

Best movie last year - FOTR
Best movie this year - Chicago

lol. Well, last year I thought FOTR was the best movie of the year. But then TTT came, and IMO it was better than FOTR. but then came Chicago...and I don't think it was better than TTT. It is hard to compare both of them because they are such different types of movies.
LOTR better win best picture for ROTK or I'll be very mad!

You think Chicago is better than TTT?

***IronParrot*** · 04-03-2003, 08:03 PM

Though I think FOTR and TTT were the best films of 2001 and 2002, respectively, I don't regard either of them as complete works, and I think it's better to reward the next-most-deserving picture for the time being.

Last year, it was Moulin Rouge! This year, it was Minority Report but since it wasn't nominated, either Chicago or The Pianist would have been fine by me.

Even with the whole anti-fantasy stigma that's been prevalent among Academy voters, pundits are already marking ROTK the clear and undisputed frontrunner. However, we don't know what is still to come in the increasingly November/December-heavy release schedule for movies vying for awards.

Lalaith · 04-04-2003, 01:45 PM

This year there will be both Matrix II and III. Hard competition for RotK.

Matrix III also? When is that coming out?
But I still think that RotK will win best pic. since it is the last of the movie trilogy. I don't know though. There are a lot of movies that will be a tough competition for lotr. hopefully...they will all turn out bad..
