um...it was a typo....

Oh, OK then. It's just that you did it the whole thread

There are some really bitter people in this thread, aren't there?

 

Nice to see LOTR getting things.

I'm not bitter, I thought ROTK was a good movie, but just that good. I didn't get caught up in this LOTR-fandom, OMG THE BEST MOVIE EVER, bullshit.

 

I don't get caught up in the "OMG BEST MOVIE EVER" crap like other people do, either. I liked ROTK, and thought it was better than other movies people were throwing the "best movie ever" awards at (*cough* Kill Bill *cough*)

the similarties between lotr and Triple H are so fucking similar here...I'm getting confused.

Here is my problem with those that want Lord of the Rings to lose. They seem to spend all their time tearing down Lord of the Rings, rather than say who should win.

[Guest Choken One]

who else you think will get a tribute piece?

 

Ritter? I know he was primarily a "TV" actor but he was a pretty good screen actor as well

Mystic River and Lost in Translation were better movies...and should win. I said that early on.

Gregory Peck will get a tribute piece. That's probably it.

[Guest Choken One]

*slaps face* Forgot about Peck...

 

Too many fucking people dying...

Which one should win? Your argument would be better if you keep saying about how Mystic River/Lost In Translation should win, rather than give reasons Return of the King shouldn't win.

go ROTK!!!!!! (though I will also accept lost in translation since it was so damn good)

I just watched To Kill A Mockingbird and Cape Fear last week. Gregory Peck better get a nice tribute. Ritter? No.

[Guest Smell the ratings!!!]

I just think it blows that 21 grams wasn't nominated

Lost in Translation and/or Mystic River were better, IMO. Also I personally thought FOTR was the best one of the three.

[Kahran Ramsus 0]

Yeah, but what was better? Lost in Translation or Mystic River?

[Guest Smell the ratings!!!]

*boos Oprah*

[NoCalMike 0]

Yeah, but what was better? Lost in Translation or Mystic River?

what does it matter really? I feel that two nominated movies are better ROTK. If I had to pick one I would go with LIT...

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

I think Peter Jackson will have a better chance of winning best Director with his King Kong remake, but Return of the King deserves to win best picture.

[Insane Bump Machine 0]

damn i hate oprah.

[Guest Choken One]

Simply Put, I don't enjoy "fantasy" movies and thought ROTK didn't live up to the GREATEST MOVIE EVER hype.

 

I enjoyed Lost In Translation the most but I believe Mystic River had the best ACTING...

 

If this was last year, I'd easily take ROTK over Chicago, I don't think ROTK should win simply because of the ENTIRE trio's goodness and leave Mystic and LIT out...That's the impression i've been getting from critics is that ROTK is winning to commemorate the ENTIRE trio...which I believe is unfair to LIT and Mystic, which I felt were better movies.

My favorite way to sum up how I think Mystic River was the best film of 2003 is simple. I feel that it was just the tightest film, the performances, the screenplay, the plot, the feel, just everything. It just felt very tight to me, everything fell into place just perfectly.

 

It's the tightest film that I've seen in years.

[Kahran Ramsus 0]

It matters because even if Mystic River in your case wins, it would still be the wrong choice.

 

You should be cheering for a particular movie, not cheering for anything but a particular movie. From the way people are talking on here, they would be happy if Seabiscuit won Best Picture. Just as long as it isn't LOTR.

[Guest Anglesault]

Yeah, but what was better? Lost in Translation or Mystic River?

Lost.

 

I think the point, though, was both were better than LotR.

[Guest Choken One]

I haven't seen Master and Commander, and I can't say I felt Seabuscuit was worthy of it when 21 Grams got screwed.

[Kahran Ramsus 0]

Yeah, but what was better?  Lost in Translation or Mystic River?

Lost.

 

I think the point, though, was both were better than LotR.

But if Mystic River won, that would be like the Yankees losing the World Series not mattering, just as long as they beat Boston. You get no points for second place. Lost In Translation still loses, whether it be to LOTR or Mystic River.

[Downhome 0]

What was that last award for?

[Insane Bump Machine 0]

best doc short subject

[Guest Choken One]

WHY ARE SO FUCKING HARD UP ON THE FACT WE DON'T FEEL ROTK SHOULD WIN BEST PICTURE?

 

We've all said we felt LIT or Mystic was better, Personally, I believe LIT was the best movie but if Mystic won, I wouldn't feel bad for that since it was equally a great movie...

[Downhome 0]

The Fog of War picks up it's Oscar, and I'm 7/10.

[Guest Anglesault]

Lost.

Don't get the baseball annalogy, but I'd rather the 2nd best move win over the third or fourth.

[Guest Choken One]

LOVE THAT LINE!

 

Kinda had a "what the fuck took you so long?" zing to it.
