I can't entirely agree with that. I can argue the Star Wars part, but not LOTR. I love that series, but yeah Potter is more in pop culture than LOTR has ever been. With the books, merchandising, etc, it is hard to deny that it has had a bigger impact than LOTR.

I am not rooting for any movie to win, but yes I think Hugo is the best movie I saw last year so I agree it is deserving of the nomination.

Agreed. Just 2 seemed weird. I think the Muppets have this one. I thought they did anyway, but with it only being 2 choices, I think it is pretty certain now.

Out of those the only real surprise is the EL&IC inclusion. Possibly the Fassbender, but that wasn't a given either. I don't see any major, out of the blue things other than the EL&IC which I completely agree with you on.

Yeah overall, the nominations were about what was expected. But a bit surprised that The Help didn't get more and no Tintin for animated movie either. And to follow up on Impact's point, yeah, what is with just 2 song nominations?

New episode was pretty good. More info on "Doc" was good. Seems like everyone has some decent backstory.Wonder what the blood is all about?

Pretty much. I was going to just to do the ones in the first post, but once everyone did more, it was easy to do the same thing.

I think the last one I bought was the Spider-man Broadway show soundtrack since it was a 2 for 1 and my friend wanted it so I went in half.

Yeah I haven't bought a CD in years, even before I got the iPod. But yeah, now there is zero reason for me to buy one

Same here. The idea is great, but I can't see myself needing access to hundreds of books at the same time. But if I ever got one for a gift, I am sure I would like it. That is what happened to me and the ipod. I never had any desire to buy one, but got it for a present, and now I use it.

Too logical baumer. You should know better than that.

I may not be always able to contribute, but I would still be in

I hope that isn't the case either, but I wouldn't be surprised. I can see people having to buy "hard drive" type things and that holds all the movies and such by downloading. I won't like that at all. Of course, I would have to go with it, but won't enjoy doing so. :PIt's basically the same reason I don't have an e-reader. I like the idea of the actual book. Plus I don't read as much so it isn't practical for me yet.

Details :PIt's been fixed

I agree. Although, I have a feeling they are going to be going to completely streaming or digital copies at some point. I think blu ray may be the last disc format. But like you, I want things on my shelf. ;p

Did this get cancelled yet?

I was taken to see this film by my Honors History teacher at the time. She took the history club, which I wasn't a part of, but since I was the only student in her class not part of the club, she let me tag along anyway. I do enjoy the film. It is well made and acted. I am not going to get into the inaccuracies or anything as they are well documented, but that doesn't change how good the film really is. It didn't affect me as much as some as my dad was heavy into the whole thing so I had books and such all around when I was a kid. So I read up a lot before the movie was even being done. But I can definitely see how this movie could influence people. Overall, if people were influenced in the right way, then that is a testament to the movie. Giving this an A is easily done.

I probably enjoyed this more than I should have. Maybe I was expecting worse. But overall, the story was good, the action and effects were very good, but something kept it from being more than just a decent to good film. Although I do have to admit that for maybe the first time, I heard a woman behind me sobbing when Joe "Lightning" Little died. I mean, the sniffing, balling, snot inducing crying. I was shocked but I guess the movie really worked for her. I give the movie a B

I just saw this last night. Decent movie, but really it was just a "remake" of the films from that era so yeah I can see how people take it as a gimmick and not like that. It's a very valid point. I did enjoy it for what it was. However, it did seem to go on forever. It didn't drag per se, but it just seemed so much longer than the couple hours it really was. I don't think it is the best movie of last year and don't get all the love for it. Not that I don't like it. I thought it was pretty good but seems to be getting overly praised. Overall I would give it a B+/B

This was one of the 3 movies I saw this weekend and it was probably the least of the 3. About 8-10 minutes in, completely forgetting who the director was, I literally said out loud to the girl I was with, "this looks like Oceans 11". Of course, about 10 seconds after that I remembered that Soderbergh was the director and that answered my own question. It literally was shot just like the Oceans movie. Right down to some of the scenes with no sound, just the same kind of music playing. The fights were ok, and the very end was ok, but other than that, there really wasn't much else. Overall, it was just a blah movie. No real personality at all. C+
