87TH ACADEMY AWARDS CEREMONY DISCUSSION THREAD AAAHHH! | Discuss It Live Here

[ecstasy]

Blankments is indelibly wounded and Baumer is forever on Alpha's shit list.

[grim22]

So what's the consensus?

 

Dick Poop.

[baumer]

Where's the LEGO Movie???????

 

In it's rightful place......not on the Oscar ballot.  

[DAR]

Lego was overrated

[filmlover]

So what's the consensus?

Laura Dern is the best thing about these nominations, the Academy suck for snubbing The LEGO Movie, Steve Carell and Emma Stone are now Oscar nominees, Bradley Cooper is now a 3 time Oscar nominee, and Meryl Streep got a nomination just for being Meryl Streep. That's all!

[Empire]

Lego was overrated

Even though I gave it an A/A-, I agree. Not as great as some would have you believe.

Rourke bad mouthed Marvel.  He called Iron Man 2 shit.  He said that he worked hard on the character and he was told that he could bring some of his ideas to the role nd then they left about 80% of his ideas on the cutting room floor.  And he's right.  Iron Man 2 is horrible.  So yes, he bad mouthed Marvel but he  was right.

 

That should have left all of him on the cutting room floor and his bird.

 

Regardless, Rourke's issues in the industry and rep go far beyond anything to do with Marvel.

[#ED]

Never saw LEGO.

I always hated the LEGOs anyway. Always lost crucial pieces.

[Blankments]

I'm glad it was snubbed, why are this generation of filmmakers all so self-satisfied? I'm not crazy about Nolan but at least he's fairly self-deprecating, some of these other guys are so entitled.

NOPE I REFUSE NO LIKE FOR YOU

 

Besides, your favorite movie this year is by Inarritu so... 

[baumer]

That should have left all of him on the cutting room floor and his bird.

 

Regardless, Rourke's issues in the industry and rep go far beyond anything to do with Marvel.

 

Pre Wrestler, I agree with you.

[TalismanRing]

Where's the LEGO Movie???????

 

On the outside looking in.  No room on the double couch!

[ecstasy]

So what's the consensus?

 

"We're all lost stars

trying to light up this dark"

[John Marston]

Amy Adams is probably crying right now. Guess all those Hollywood Reporter Round tables were for nothing

[ecstasy]

That should have left all of him on the cutting room floor and his bird.

 

Regardless, Rourke's issues in the industry and rep go far beyond anything to do with Marvel.

 

His scene on the race track was the best thing about that movie.

[Blankments]

LOL did you see Xavier Dolan's twitter meltdown when Mommy wasn't short-listed? Same deal.

You can't compare Lord Miller to that. All they're doing is putting on a face because literally everyone in the animation community is pissed off on their behalf, and for good reason. There's a reason most people are running LEGO as the main story of the Oscar and that's because it's the only big snub but arguably the only bigger ones would've been Keaton not being nominated for BA or Boyhood not being nominated for BP

[Fancyarcher]

Lego was overrated

 

I thought it was great, but I prefer HTTYD2.

[Empire]

His scene on the race track was the best thing about that movie.

Nah, but the scene with him & Downey in the jail cell was. One of the only good parts of the movie.

[#ED]

We're talking IM2?

Let me tell you what I think about that movie.

[Blankments]

**** YOU TELE!

Tele must've been drunk with Kelli when he sent his votes it's the only explanation that expalsindsg,nsd severy wrong

[TalismanRing]

Pre Wrestler, I agree with you.

 

For all that he knew Wrestler gave him a  second big chance problems continued after and he did a lot of shit projects for money and wasn't even entertaining in them

 

From Esquire:

That's when things went downhill again, and Rourke started taking more low-rent projects. Making matters worse: He knew they were bad. Here's an excerpt from a conversation he had with Vulture in 2011, in which he spoke about his true feelings toward 13 and Passion Play

 

 

 

He's talented, emotional, but, depending on whom you talk to, a giant pain in the ass to work with.
