- because... -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 08:03 1

- I find it interesting that nobody seemed to think Rourke's Wrestler comeback buzz could help sell Killshot in more theaters. -- nm - Max Feb 23, 07:57 4
  - You didn't see the new trailer they cut which focuses on Rourke? - secretslacker Feb 23, 07:58
  - Rourke is already getting uncomfortable enough with his comeback success that he's scouting for an Applebee's to get thrown out of. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 07:58 2

- That Terry Gilliam film won't be released? -- nm - con_carne Feb 23, 07:54
- I think Winslet will do something cheap and mainstream cuz she doesn't have to hunt for oscar roles now. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 07:54 8
  - Oh, I loved The Holiday. -- nm - kelly Feb 23, 08:01 1
    - [deleted]
  - why would she do that? do you think she needs the cash? -- nm - the ides of march love mandy lane Feb 23, 07:57 1
    - No, but I think most performers love to try new things. She's just won her award, she's now got the freedom to go mainstream easily. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 08:01
  - She might do Ricky Gervais' next movie. -- nm - LMS Feb 23, 07:56
  - her agent is calling Jerry Bruckheimer as we speak. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 07:55 1
    - Hey! Put her in the next Pirates movie!! -- nm - secretslacker Feb 23, 07:56
  - I doubt she ever had to hunt for oscar roles. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 07:54
- Ledger's still got that Gilliam movie. -- nm - LMS Feb 23, 07:54 1
  - part of it, at least -- nm - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 07:54
- [deleted] 1
  - She did Nat Treas. 2 (which I haven't seen) and Inkheart (ditto) first. -- nm - secretslacker Feb 23, 07:55
looks like Marvin Harrison is done in Indy... -- (link) - Remlik Feb 23, 07:52
When did the Oscars start showing movie ads during the ceremony? That's new, right? - Will Hunting Feb 23, 07:50 8
- [deleted]
- I meant to ask this last night. I saw The Soloist and The Proposal. -- nm - Diva Feb 23, 07:51 4
  - Probably the only way they'll ever appear in an Oscar ceremony -- nm - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 07:53 3
    - [deleted]
    - The Soloist has a pretty good pedigree. Might be seeing that around the ceremony next year. -- nm - Diva Feb 23, 07:54 1
      - Not what I've heard from someone who's seen it. - secretslacker Feb 23, 07:56
- I think that's new this year. -- nm - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 07:50 1
  - Yup... -- nm - secretslacker Feb 23, 07:51
I don't really blame Goldie for dressing the way she does. She's still got more joie de vivre than most 20 year olds. - Max Feb 23, 07:46
[deleted] 13
- The more I see of Moore the more baffled I am that she even has as many nominations as she does. I'm karma blocking you. -- nm - Max Feb 23, 07:47 12
  - [deleted] 11
    - was Winslet ever done a bad movie? I can't think of one. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 07:51 10
      - Romance & Cigarettes, Hideous Kinky -- nm - LMS Feb 23, 07:53 1
        
        Oh, right... Romance & Cigarettes... how could I forget? -- nm - secretslacker Feb 23, 07:56
      - The Holiday? -- nm - secretslacker Feb 23, 07:52
      - titanic. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 23, 07:52 6
        
        as soon as I hit enter, I knew someone would say this. She was great in the movie, IMO. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 07:53 4
        
        if there ever was a movie that deserved the overrated tag - tRuMaN Feb 23, 07:54 3
        
        Well yeah, Overrated.....it was basically the biggest cultural movie-fest in decades. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 07:55 2
        
        just cause it was a cultural movie-fest - tRuMaN Feb 23, 07:58 1
        
        Missing the point. It's a very solid movie. It's not at all great enough to be that cultural movie-fest. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 08:03
        
        There we go... -- nm - Guigue Feb 23, 07:52
I could pick Tim Burton out of a lineup. - Beryllium Feb 23, 07:39
If the wire-walker wasn't such an attention whore, there wouldn't have been a feature documentary about him. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 07:29 5
- I was hoping he'd drop the Oscar off his face. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 07:33 2
  - [deleted]
  - He probably walked off the stage and immediately slept with RDJ's wife. -- nm - Max Feb 23, 07:39
- heck, he wouldn't be a wire walker. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 07:31 1
  - Heh -- nm - con_carne Feb 23, 07:45
lyc: Details over the last two weeks.... - budice Feb 23, 07:29 12
- sorry. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 23, 07:54
- Glad to see you are hanging in there. -- nm - con_carne Feb 23, 07:47
- My condololences. It's hard to get by those final memories - try to focus on the better times. - MojaveMeg Feb 23, 07:42
- You've been missed an in a lot of our thoughts. **sends good thoughts your way** -- nm - JaxSean Feb 23, 07:42
- sorry for your loss... - zork Feb 23, 07:40
- [deleted]
- that's tough. Hang in there. I'm sorry. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 23, 07:36
- I'm so sorry to heat this. Best wishes -- nm - Roger More Feb 23, 07:34 1
  - *hear* -- nm - Roger More Feb 23, 07:35
- I'm so sorry. -- nm - kelly Feb 23, 07:33
- my heart goes out to you and your family. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 07:31
- My condolences to you and your family. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 23, 07:30
I have to say, I loved how Robert Pattinson has a perma-scowl on his face, even when he was in the background of Rourke? - Will Hunting Feb 23, 07:27 39
- ("I'm the perfect guy to play Vincent Price. I'm the perfect g- hey is Harvey looking at me? ... hm. I'm the perfect guy to play Vincent Price...") -- nm - brows Feb 23, 07:40
- can we send him on a long boat over a waterfall with Zac Effron? - Epiphany Feb 23, 07:29 27
  - heh, my friend called me and said 'what is this High School Musical 4 - They Take the Oscars' ? - Andie Feb 23, 07:30
  - yeah, that was the part i didn't like about the "Muscials are Back!" number. - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 07:30 24
    - Like it or not, the High School Musical series is a decent chuck of WHY the musical is back. To exclude it would have been a huge mistake. -- nm - Jim Feb 23, 07:33 16
      - but seriously, did it ever go away? - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 07:34 15
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        I mean, has it left since everyone was saying "It's back!" 5 years ago. -- nm - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 07:51
        
        I'm also not so sure about how much good it says that the one they're using to prove it's back is one based on pop songs - Reagen Feb 23, 07:51 3
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        sure - but I'm just saying I'll believe "they're back" when an original idea is a hit. - Reagen Feb 23, 08:00
        
        I must say, I am very much looking forward to Nine this year -- nm - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 07:52
        
        I think it's more that they became a trickle in the 1970s, and have only come back in the last ten years or so -- nm - Roger More Feb 23, 07:36
        
        Yeah, it did seem a tad odd to have a montage of musical returns...when musicals were serious contenders twice already in this decade. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 07:36 7
        
        I heard you yell something and groan upstairs - it was then I figured out that you still had the Oscars on. :) - kelly Feb 23, 07:43
        
        as I said last night, it would have been better with shakira. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 23, 07:39
        
        I'm with you on Beyonce, dude. There are so many women out there who can sing...why she keeps getting the prime gigs like this is amazing. -- nm - Jim Feb 23, 07:37
        
        why not Beyonce? she's got the chops. -- nm - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 07:36 3
        
        She's quite possibly the most over-exposed celebrity out there. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 07:43
        
        they weren't on display last night. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 07:37 1
        
        I had bigger problems with that number than her being in it, for sure. -- nm - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 07:43
    - I want to see the musical "Rebound with Mr. Right Now: The John Mayer Story". -- nm - Diva Feb 23, 07:33 6
      - LOL! Does he even have time to play the guitar with all the sex he's having? -- nm - secretslacker Feb 23, 07:37 1
        
        And the pseudo-pretentious blogging. Let's not forget about that. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 23, 07:40
      - Can't you picture him just trolling around recently-broken-up females trying to bump into them in the grocery store or something? - Will Hunting Feb 23, 07:34 1
        
        naw, he would probably just sit in the back of the store, softly playing a guitar, and they would all gravitate to him. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 23, 07:41
      - *giggle* -- nm - Epiphany Feb 23, 07:33 1
        
        ~He's Mr. Right Now, baby, Right Now Right Now, baby...~ -- nm - Diva,shaking Feb 23, 07:35
  - Make a movie about it.. - secretslacker Feb 23, 07:29
- honestly, i think he was just trying to be unobstrusive. i think he was shocked as hell to be there at all. -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 07:28
- Wonder if they wrote something special as an excuse to have him make an appearance in Harry Potter 6. -- nm - secretslacker Feb 23, 07:28 8
  - (spoilers) - Andie Feb 23, 07:30 7
    - [deleted]
    - I think you're right and I think it's Half Blood Prince. -- nm - Jim Feb 23, 07:32 5
      - I guess no one who did press for TWilight bothered to ask him about it then. -- nm - secretslacker Feb 23, 07:33 4
        
        it's not on imdb. -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 07:34
        
        Well, there's nothing to say (spoils, I guess) - Jim Feb 23, 07:34 2
        
        THey probably will... - secretslacker Feb 23, 07:37 1
        
        And that's only if I'm remebering correctly. I may not be. -- nm - Jim Feb 23, 07:38
Didn't see Jack or Tom Cruise which was refreshing -- nm - Gwaahjo Feb 23, 07:27 2
- did you miss the Jimmy Kimmel commercial? cause that was funny shizz -- nm - Epiphany Feb 23, 07:27 1
  - I missed it... all the snarky bloggers were talking right through it. -- nm - secretslacker Feb 23, 07:30
Poor Danny Boyle... - secretslacker Feb 23, 07:26 10
- he's a director, so people will forget what he looks like soon enough. The only recognisable directors I can immediately think of are Spielberg ... - Roger More Feb 23, 07:29 7
  - George Lucas? -- nm - Gwaahjo Feb 23, 07:29
  - Scorsese? -- nm - secretslacker Feb 23, 07:29 5
    - yeah - I thought of his name right after I posted. Also, directors - Roger More Feb 23, 07:33 4
      - most people would recognize James Cameron. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 07:42 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        That's also a relatively new look for him - he used to be more Lorne Michaels-ish. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 07:52
        
        He looked like a Benjamin Button version of Burt Reynolds. -- nm - Max Feb 23, 07:48
- I'm sure he'll get through it like everyone else :p -- nm - Gwaahjo Feb 23, 07:28 1
  - I have a feeling he won't change and will remain grounded. - secretslacker Feb 23, 07:29
Monday Hatey!!! -- nm - Redmond Feb 23, 07:26
