OMG I just saw Jonah Hill! He looks amazing! And is so smart! Hpoefully, this is just first of many Oscar noms for him. he should ttolaly become relevant force in awards field.
TDKR won`t make it even if it`s better than Citizen Kane. It`ll suffer from Potter syndrome which suffered from TDK syndrome - if your movie series isn`t AMPAS cup of tea they won`t drink it no matter what millions of people say. TH has a great shot because they nominated LOTR and obviously think that nominating/awarding that series makes up for snubbing all others. And Jackson&family`s unwashed hobos look makes everyone feel better about themselves unlike pretty college boy Nolan who only gives some inferiority complex.
Worthington was a great everyman in Avatar and he wasn`t exactly asked to carry that movie on his shoulders. MotL is a different matter and it has nothing to do with Cameron. he gave Worthington a chance cause he fit the idea of Jake Sully. Peter Jackson gave Borelando a chance because he fit the idea of Legolas. That he is an awful actor and awful lead is not of his concern cause Legolas wasn`t a lead to begin with nor he was asked to emote. It`s up to other studios and film-makers how they`ll use actors who were put on the map by big movies. Back to Worthington and Cameron, Cameron only suggested him for Terminator 4 and he was one of better things about that movie. It was Bale who wasn`t up to snuff.
This is a perfect description of 2011. Coincidently, it also gave a line-up of big movies with a strong critical support (DH2, MI:GP, ROTPOTA, XM:FC, S8,etc). None of them made it. Just seriously fucked up and unfair since the failre of Oscar baits should have resulted in a goodwill for non-traditional contenders.
Jesus, must they always report the boxoffice with some lame wordplay? The Grey "bites off" and "hunts down" cause it has wolves, aren`t we smart? Last week, UW also "bit off" or "bit into" and "staked" because it has vamps, how clever aren`t we? Etc. Fuckin Zzzzzzzzzzz.
And when was she a draw in a non-shit? All movies that she opened on her name alone, aka post KU, were shit. All of them.I thought $15 mio for TG was Friday and went into shock that OFTM made $12 mio.
