I disagree. I thought Timberlake was great and Kimmel did a fantastic job.
yes, Obewan.
Got the head from Cloverfield. Damn that thaing was ugggggggggggggggly.
If one can use their imagination when one goes to see a play on a stage then one can easily overlook set design and matte paintings from older movies.
By today's standards the original theatrical cuts of Star Wars have outdated FX, but who the hell cares? Those original movies are much more preferable imo than the gross alterations Lucas made to his movies.
Don't you like those old Ray Harryhousen movies like 7th Voyage of Sinbad and Jason and the Argonauts? Those movies have charm because of the outdated stop-motion FX that were used.
I think you're being too hard on past movies for having outdated FX or set designs. To each his own.
I'm not being too hard on anything.
I was defending another person saying Bonnie and Clyde's greatness as a movie is diminished because it is dated by merely pointing out that most movies 50+ years deal with being somewhat dated.
I own movies going all the way back to 1927.
My personal favorites from the 30s would include Gone With the Wind, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Wizard of Oz, Wuthering Heights, Stagecoach, Mutiny on the Bounty, It Happened One night, A Farewell to Arms, Grant Hotel, etc...
Great list! I still need to see Wuthering Heights.
The Kid and other Chaplin movies are also great.
Not following....
Emma was more deserving for Birdman and she is a doll so I'm not hating on her at all. Just thought AA was far and away better this year.
If Lion had been about a family separated because of immigration instead a lost boy, it wins all the awards. That's what the academy has become. Ali is awesome in House of Cards btw. But Patel was strong in an emotional role.
Great list Ketch. Side note: What do you think about the rumors of a Man Who Shot Liberty Valence remake? Eastwood, Jeff Bridges, Denzel, Diane Lane, and Tom Hanks rumored.
Meryl didn't deserve to be nominated. She stole Any's nomination.
Amy was No.1 pick all year for best actress.
Hermans team loves gifs because the kids live gifs, just clever marketing. And no chance Herman is picking these out, his creative brand director or whatever people are, he is an old.
You have terrible taste in movies. You didn't even mention any of these in your personal favorites. Shame on you
- Reefer Madness (1936) ...
- Plan 9 From Outer Space (1959) ...

BARBARELLA (1968),
HOWARD THE DUCK (1986) and
UNITED PASSIONS (2014) are highly rated.

Gotcha. Went over my head. My bad. BTW watched Arrival again Sat night. I thought It was better the 2nd time.
Fair enough. It's one of my favorites and one that I think should be only remade by a great director and star studded cast. Doesn't get enough credit as a GOAT category nominee IMHO.
besides being a fantastic actor
I am totally in love with her
although my wife is not aware as of yet
which is why I can focus, type, etc.
Hook Em.
Oh I believe you it's just that I haven't seen any. I don't read a lot of pubs dealing with Hollywood I guess. (looking at the babes in my wife's People mag doesn't count.)
