- [deleted]
- I call bullshit on 1983. Hunt's performance was incredible -- nm - Mr. Havens Jan 9, 13:10 5
  - What was Cher's performance? Mask? I though tit was pretty good in that movie, given that it was *Cher*. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 9, 13:12 4
    - Silkwood -- nm - Mr. Havens Jan 9, 13:14
    - Mask was 87....this was for....Silkwood. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 9, 13:13 1
      - Mask was 1985 -- nm - Mr. Havens Jan 9, 13:14
    - what's wrong with Cher? she's been good in a lot of things. -- nm - loosilu Jan 9, 13:12
- hey, you didn't tell us what they were changed to. -- nm - loosilu Jan 9, 13:05 2

    - oh thank god for BP 98. -- nm - loosilu Jan 9, 13:12
- I would've liked them to pick years that would have actually... - znufrii Jan 9, 13:02
- If only they could really change 1998. They were cool with Judi Dench winning for 5 minutes of screen time? -- nm - Inigo Jan 9, 12:59 7
  - it's not the quantity it's the quality. she packed more into those 5 minutes than a lot of actors manage for a lead role -- nm - pigby Jan 9, 13:00 1
    - Which is also why Viola Davis is getting so much heat for her one scene in Doubt - Mr. Havens Jan 9, 13:17
  - but then you have to change 1997. -- nm - Reagen Jan 9, 13:00 4
    - About what? - Will Hunting Jan 9, 13:03
    - You mean Basinger? I'm fine with that. Julianne Moore was way better, imo. -- nm - Inigo Jan 9, 13:03 2
      - no, that Hunt beat her the year before, which is the reason she won in 98. -- nm - Reagen Jan 9, 13:03 1
        
        Hunt was 1983 and Basinger was 1997. I am totally confused too as to what you are getting at -- nm - Mr. Havens Jan 9, 13:15
- this is why people have their little People's Choice Awards -- nm - pigby Jan 9, 12:57 3
  - Of the few changes, I don't really see any outrages. - Will Hunting Jan 9, 13:00 2
    - So, Fiennes wins best actor, but it loses for Picture and Actress? -- nm - Inigo Jan 9, 13:05 1
      - Nope, it picked up Supporting for Geoffrey Rush from Coburn. - Will Hunting Jan 9, 13:06
- Rafe in Schindler's List is one of the best performances I've ever seen. Jones was good, but come on. -- nm - Reagen Jan 9, 12:56 6
  - Just looking at the nominees that year...DiCaprio should have finished ahead of Jones too. -- nm - Jim Jan 9, 13:05 2
    - He did in the re-vote. Jones was 3rd. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 9, 13:10
    - And Ben Kingsley. -- nm - Inigo Jan 9, 13:07
  - If you ever ask me what's evil personified in movies, it's Fiennes scene in the mirror "I pardon you." - Will Hunting Jan 9, 12:57 1
    - absolutely. - Mel Profit Jan 9, 12:58
  - Word. That was outright robbery. -- nm - Jim Jan 9, 12:57

Obama's MIL to move into the White House -- (link) - znufrii Jan 9, 12:54 8

- "starring Martin Lawrence" -- nm - Reagen Jan 9, 12:55 5
  - I would watch that. And thus far, I've skipped all that Big Momma's House bullcrap. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 9, 12:57
  - and with that obama's presidency is guaranteed to never be funny -- nm - dogbert183 Jan 9, 12:57
  - nah, Tyler Perry would get on it first -- nm - znufrii Jan 9, 12:56 1

Sometimes breast implants can look good on a woman, but I really can't think of a celebrity whose lips implants weren't an eyesore. -- nm - Inigo Jan 9, 12:49 9
- Tara Reid? -- nm - lileve Jan 9, 13:14
- Fake boobs suck. They never look real, they certainly don't feel real. And too many woman are deluding themselves if the think - TWuG Jan 9, 12:58
- I'd like to see a list of all of the fake celebrity boobs. I'm sure some would be a surprise. -- nm - Shaun Jan 9, 12:54 1
  - impossible. the overwhelming majority deny it. Hell, Posh still denies it and she has one of the most obvious boob jobs in Hollywood. -- nm - loosilu Jan 9, 12:54
- theoretically, if it's good work, you wouldn't notice it. -- nm - loosilu Jan 9, 12:51 2
  - Let me be more clear: If I notice a woman has had breast implants, it can still look good. - Inigo Jan 9, 12:54 1
    - I get it, I 'm just suggesting there may be many women who you don't realize have the injections. -- nm - loosilu Jan 9, 12:55
- Indeed. Decent boob jobs are now one of the least distracting/disturbing consmetic surgeries. (nm) - musubi, on a logic rampage Jan 9, 12:51 1
  - "Thanks, Botox!" -- nm - boob job's bad rap Jan 9, 12:54
okay, I gotta clean the sliding glass doors now. -- nm - CQ Jan 9, 12:49
"Gee thanks TT, I never thought about *not* putting peroxide in my eyes." - musubi, on a logic rampage Jan 9, 12:46 6
- For me...I wouldn't screw around with my eyeball. If it still burns... - Jim Jan 9, 12:55 1

- And I thought Best Buy's blu-ray thing of Cars/Ratatouille for $59.99 when each was 29.99 was bad. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 9, 12:57
- They want you to buy 1-gallon sized milk. Just not too much. - musubi, on a logic rampage Jan 9, 12:47
*pulls up the chocks* -- nm - loosilu Jan 9, 12:45 2
- and it ruined a good joke too. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 9, 12:47 1
  - it wasn't a good joke when I was picturing a pool cue. -- nm - loosilu Jan 9, 12:47
You guys, what PETA does best are publicity stunts. they gotcha again. -- nm - loosilu Jan 9, 12:44 41

- now I just want to find out if kittens taste like lobster -- nm - dogbert183 Jan 9, 12:48 4
  - LOBSTER IS NOT FISH! -- nm - loosilu Jan 9, 12:48 3
    - kittens aren't fish either, peta shouldn't try to confuse me. - dogbert183 Jan 9, 12:50 1
      - Calico. I bet those taste like lobster. (nm) - musubi, on a logic rampage Jan 9, 12:52
    - Of course not, Lobsters are underwater bugs. Yum. (nm) - musubi, on a logic rampage Jan 9, 12:49
- They made me hungry for kitten. -- nm - Dano Jan 9, 12:46
- Mister Splashypants thinks that PETA is a waste of time. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 9, 12:46
- yep. get people talking. change a few perspectives in the process. -- nm - kare Jan 9, 12:45 31
  - I am not convinced it works at all (in terms of changing minds). But they do get the press. -- nm - loosilu Jan 9, 12:46 30
    - i think this one is sort of brilliant as far as getting to kids and people who do the "blissful ignorance" thing. - kare Jan 9, 12:50 20
      - i think you're totally 100% right, and they've been very succesful with their tactics....nm - x Jan 9, 13:13
      - I'm pretty sure the vast majority of people know fish are living things. - TWuG Jan 9, 12:56 8
        
        when i say "blissfully ignorant" i mean those that intentionally try not to think too much about the actual source of their food - kare Jan 9, 12:59 7
        
        agreed that a lot of people do that. I just don't think PETA's shtick works against that. -- nm - loosilu Jan 9, 13:07 1
        
        PETA articles are what first got me thinking about the whole thing at around 10-11. - kare Jan 9, 13:13
        
        It may make some people think. Personally, I think it's insulting. If you (impersonal, not you) have a good argument for being vegan, make it - TWuG Jan 9, 13:05 1
        
        I just wish they stop there effin preaching and their holier than thou attitude. -- nm - CQ Jan 9, 13:08
        
        I think this is true - when you go to the supermarket, you see packages of meat that have little resemblance to the animal they came from - Roger More Jan 9, 13:04
        
        I hope a shark makes that connection the next time it bites a person. Hopefully it'll treat that person with respect. -- nm - CQ Jan 9, 13:04 1
        
        as an aside, i heard recently that many sharks bite simply because they're curious about something. and often they let go because they're like, ew, a - kare Jan 9, 13:15

        exactly. it's awesome in that the people who won't switch no matter what are so angered/annoyed that they help spread the message to people who just - kare Jan 9, 12:56 5
        
        ah. It's possible, and I guess we can't know. I hold a grudge against them, so I'm biased. -- nm - loosilu Jan 9, 12:57 4
        
        i'm sure they're very careful about measuring results, and going with what works. -- nm - kare Jan 9, 13:00 3
        
        I doubt that very much, honestly. -- nm - loosilu Jan 9, 13:14
        
        peta doesn't strike me as being careful about things like image and effectiveness at all. - TFox Jan 9, 13:04 1
        
        i guess we don't know. just, as someone who has worked in marketing for years, you usually try to measure success and decide on future approaches - kare Jan 9, 13:07
      - To many people, fish are just fillets they buy in wrapping in the store. Ditto for chicken, etc. - Beryllium Jan 9, 12:53 2
        
        I never thought about it that way, but I think I'd be in the same boat (well except for deer). - musubi, on a logic rampage Jan 9, 12:55
        
        yep. there's lots of people who purposely don't think about it too much. and then of course there's lots of others that couldn't care less. - kare Jan 9, 12:55
    - Some of the marine stunts they do really piss me off. - Beryllium Jan 9, 12:47 7
      - which ones? are you sure that's PETA and not Greenpeace? -- nm - loosilu Jan 9, 12:48 6
        
        although I had to laugh hearing about someone saying they couldn't support Greenpeace because of what they did to the Rainbow Warrior. -- nm - Reagen Jan 9, 12:54 4
        
        I admit that I hold a grudge against Greenpeace for being partially responsible for UH taking "Rainbows" out of their name. - musubi, on a logic rampage Jan 9, 13:01 3
