CoolioD1 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Nah, she was alright at best. That movie was such an awful, contrived piece of shit though and it should be nowhere near any discussion of any kind of award ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a masterpiece by any chance but it's still a good movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I'm surprised anyone under the age of 97 could think of it as a good movie, but whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I'm surprised anyone under the age of 97 could think of it as a good movie, but whatever.I find that insulting. It's for me it's a fairly good light-hearted comedy. 3rd to Moonrise (2nd) and Hope Springs (1st) this year. Not far behind those two though. It's certainly better than a fair few of the movie gaining momentum in the Oscar race this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Hope Springs was shite as well. I thought it was the best film perhaps made about Marriage bar Amour and Ingmar's Scenes from a Marriage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 A good movie's a good movie, regardless of age.I can't imagine anyone young liking a movie so contrived, lame and dull. It's only for old people because the jokes are probably as old as they are. So they can enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Michael Haneke....Ingmar Bergman....David Frankel.Well there's only like a handful of movies about that sort of love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I don't begrudge you for liking it. I haven't seen the thing. Just putting Frankel's name with those two made me laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackO Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 The frontrunner mantle has clearly shifted now from Argo to Lincoln. It is a dangerous proposition to put a difficult film like Lincoln in that position but only someone who knows nothing about the Oscars — or those deliberately blinkered from reality — would fail to see the buzz for Lincoln building in momentum. http://www.awardsdaily.com/blog/2012/11/20/the-state-of-the-race-defining-an-oscar-frontrunner/ Easy to see after Lincoln's OW gross.
