I've got a date and dinner, but maybe later on.

I won't be around for the early part of it anyway since I'm landing at BWI at 815 and won't be home until close to 845-50.

I can start the chat, and hopefully y'all can join when you can

I just listened to all of Skyfall. It's good but would've much preferred to see Beasts in there.

Meh. The only ones worth listening to are Anna Karenina and Life of Pi.

WAIT WAIT WAIT!!!!!!!! Hawkes missed out on a nom? How did I miss this until now?

[baumer]

I'm just going to throw this out there and apologize ahead of time for offending anyone.I think some of you who don't like SLP as much as I do or others do is because you are too young. You haven't lived through some of the stuff that it deals with in the movie so it doesn't resonate with you as much as it does with me and people my age. Some of you, like Gopher, comment on the cop out ending when in reality it is not a copout, it's brilliant. I really think this is the best picture of the year. Lincoln is nice and interesting but SLP is real life and moving and tragic and sad and happy and it takes you through a roller coaster of emotions, like life.

He's quite good in The Sessions but he got bumped out so Joaquin could get in so I'm not fussed.

[acsc1312]

It should've been him instead of Washington, not Phoenix.

[The Futurist]

Nicely put Baumer.

[acsc1312]

Hawkes was my top 3 male performance of the year

I don't agree that SLP is the best picture of the year or anywhere near, but that doesn't make what Baumer said any less true. And I apologise if I piss anyone off by trashing Lincoln or Beasts, I just can't help it. Edited January 10, 2013 by riczhang

So SLP got 8, Life of Pi 11 and Lincoln 12? This is the top 3?

[DAR]

Hawkes is becoming one of those "hey that guy" actors to the general public.

Yes.

It's funny to think he had a random guest star role in the final season of Lost that got cut short when the showrunners decided to prematurely end the "temple" storyline.

Les Mis tied with SLP at 8.
