Someone had to say it.

I think it deserved some of the more technical/artistic awards it won.

But Best Picture and Best Director? Nah.


Wasn't it just the third one that they gave the best picture and director to? I think that was a pretty good call. It definitely deserved some kind of attention for him making that massive of a movie, even if they did break it down to three of them, that's still a hell of an achievement.
It didn't deserve to get anything for just the first two parts, but once it was all out there and completed, i thought it was a nice touch.
And I'm not really even much of a fan.

Those opinions hang on to your belief that no one finds the two of you ever annoying.

No, actually that is not at all relevant.

Plus, I don't want to ignore you because you are annoying, but because you are a moron.

I don't think Crowe should of won and Pheonix didn't. To me he should of got Best Supporting Actor and was fucking fantastic.

As with Crowe, I wouldn't say he shouldn't have got it, but it wasn't an amazing performance.

A stiff character requires stiff acting. I think he did a perfect job. It just wasn't a difficult role.

See thats the problem with everyones point of view, they're always so grounded and realistic. Why can't the most absurd idea be the most accurate?

The simple truth of the matter is that you can't truly debunk anything since you only experience everything through your own eyes. What makes you think that the world isn't playing a giant cosmic prank on you? or maybe I really I'm just as crazy as the doctor say? But then again they can't talk now that they have no tongues mawhahahaha. Wow its really difficult to come across crazily menacing on the internet. Whatever.

OMG, ever wondered if people see colours differently from other people? Like if your red is actually my blue? That's crazy!

OMFG, have you ever wondered if, when you fall asleep, the world just stops existing until you wake up? That's crazy!

OMFGROFLMAO, have you ever wondered if "knowledge" is actually impossible because we can't KNOW that we know something? Holy crap, that's crazy!

Finally someone gets me. Thats not a good thing.

Tuffy the Dump Truck may rarely increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. The risk may be greater if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes), or with longer use. Tuffy should not be taken right before or after heart bypass surgery. Also, Tuffy may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning symptoms at any time while taking Tuffy. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect. (See also Precautions and Drug Interactions sections.) Stop taking Tuffy and get medical help right away if you notice any of the following rare but serious side effects: bloody or black/tarry stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, slurred speech. Ask your doctor if Tuffy is right for you.

The academy gets it right sometimes (recent examples being the 80th and 81st Academy Awards) and sometimes they don't make any fucking sense (Apparently Chicago is a greater film than Punch Drunk Love, The Two Towers, Adaptation, Gangs of New York and The Pianist).

Other times they don't have anything to work with (2005 was one of the slowest years for movies ever).

More importantly, what if humans are just germs and the planets and stars are cells in a much larger organism?!

Yeah, I still don't understand Chicago winning Best Picture...

I think I remember people talking about Chicago being the sign that musicals were on their way back. Oooookay.
