The f**k??? Dick Tracy received *7* Oscar nominations?? - Jovian Feb 22, 09:17 7
- It was considered the frontrunner for most of that year, which always baffled me. - David Feb 22, 09:24
- Gah, it doesnt even have decent rewatch value. It should have just been called "The Madonna sings a lot Movie" -- nm - Jovian Feb 22, 09:19 1
  - Don't Tread on Me. -- nm - Evita Feb 22, 09:23

  - yeah a Marble town should have either a speedy boat Wonder or a Colossus Wonder. -- nm - Beaker Feb 22, 09:18 1
    - Yeah, the dolphins are spread between four islands. In wartime, an enemy never seeks to drain the dolphin (heh). - WarMachine Feb 22, 09:20
- I love having them on the same island. Easier to protect, only donate to one. Even moreso if their is WOnder on it - Beaker Feb 22, 09:16

  - *wild cackle* - Mel Profit Feb 22, 09:11
Ika.com question: Can anyone tell me if snowmaster from Lux is actively doing anything? -- nm - CQ Feb 22, 08:59 16

    - Also...sit tight. - Mel Profit Feb 22, 09:15 4
      - no probs, I think it's funny how persistent they are. They really seem to care -- nm - CQ Feb 22, 09:17 1
        
        They will sit up for a *long* time to win a battle. - Mel Profit Feb 22, 09:27

        I remember when 1363 was inactive on Fujisen's island. Now it's where they usually attack from. -- nm - Diva Feb 22, 09:25
    - Okay, time to confess. WarMachine and CHUCK NORRIS are the same. -- nm - WarMachine Feb 22, 09:10
In reading that backboard link, I realized that Papal politics must be exhausting. -- nm - David Feb 22, 08:57 3

- 91 -- nm - eag Feb 22, 09:12
- Ill put 1987 in da mix -- nm - budice Feb 22, 09:12 1

- I think Social Network should be on there with an asterik -- nm - MDH Feb 22, 08:52 2
  - From 2010, I wouldn't even put that in my snub list...The Fighter was the best of the nominees in my mind. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 22, 08:53 1
    - I liked that a lot too, I couldn't stand Kings Speech -- nm - MDH Feb 22, 08:55

  - I was going to say: Diva is rockin' it -- nm - oblique Feb 22, 09:05 1
    - Thanks, I am. But not because of pizza. -- nm - Diva Feb 22, 09:12
- It's on your upper lip from breakfast. - CrankYanker Feb 22, 08:50

I'd say Taxi Driver was divisive. AtP'sM was pretty much established fact and accepted political reality at the time. - Reagen Feb 22, 08:45 6
- [deleted] 5
  - I'd guess that Taxi Driver and Network split the controversial/shocking vote. Rocky was the only crowd pleaser. -- nm - Inigo Feb 22, 08:53
  - I mean, it's definitely my pick out of those (and probably top 10 all time for me) -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 08:52 3
    - [deleted]
    - [deleted]
    - (Network, that is) -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 08:52
Crash is a piece of shit. - ty97 Feb 22, 08:43 14

- You will *NOT* believe the day I had. -- nm - Crash s.i. Feb 22, 08:45 1
  - ty is on my naughty list for Xmas -- nm - Crash si#2 Feb 22, 08:47
- The scenes with Matt Dillon are very good. The rest... -- nm - Inigo Feb 22, 08:45 4
  - *pushes Sandra Bullock down the stairs* -- nm - Racism Feb 22, 08:46 3
    - Still one of my favorite jokes of yours. -- nm - David Feb 22, 08:55 2
      - I want to say Dano made it first, but I'll take the compliment for him. -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 08:57 1
        
        Dano couldn't be here today but you'd like to accept this Joke Compliment upon his behalf, I assume. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 22, 08:58
- it doesn't hold up at all. pity. -- nm - Diva Feb 22, 08:45
- [deleted]
- "Crash is Trash" -- nm - Brokebackers Feb 22, 08:45 2
