Re: If I chose the Oscars....(2000-2009)

Based on the age you look in your picture, are we supposed to believe that you have seen 4628 films? To be fair, if we assume he is 20, that gives him a good 14 years of movie watching, which works out to over 5000 days off the top of my head. So he would have to watch very close to one film a day,...

Re: If I chose the Oscars....(2000-2009)

I don't know how to respond, really. Just looking at the last couple of years, your picks are "Adventureland" and "The Wrestler"?! Both were good, solid movies, but neither was anything exceptional. "Slumdog Millionaire" and "The Hurt Locker" WERE exceptional...

Re: Thoughts on these underrated/overlooked performances!?!

You also get a point and then have it taken away from you for mentioning the one good thing in the remake of Halloween but also listing the most forgettable Brad Dourif role in existence. I'll take his cackling fiend in Blue Velvet or w/e he was doing in Wise Blood (still can barely wrap my head ar...

Thoughts on these underrated/overlooked performances!?!

The following thread is covering only ones released in the aughts (2000-2009) as there are just way too many to just go all the way back, if ya know what I mean. Haha. These are all performances that I really loved I consider worthy of more attention or simply need re-analyzed. Most of these barely ...

Re: Doug Reese's 250 Favorite Films!

Why not just take the first 10-15 movies on there, and briefly write about them? Much more interesting for everyone involved. I really think this would be a fun idea, actually, it's kinda like what I wanted to do before - go on little "film quests"... like I wanted to first start with wat...
