Life in prison or death? Filmgabber, you make it sound like there's no difference. The death penalty isn't a sudden punishment, most who are on death row are there for many years before being executed. So, those who are self-righteous enough to say that the death penalty is a welcome substitute fro...

Are you straight? That would explain why you had more sympathy for their wives than for them. [Spoilers] For me, the devastation comes with Ledger's penultimate performance in the closet. Ennis seemed to always think that what he had with Jack was wrong, but he couldn't help his feelings. It was un...

It's probably a dress code violation of some sort...you can get written up in the work place if you're not in dress code and if it happens too often, you can be fired. So, ejecting someone from the building is perfectly reasonable. Arresting is another story.

I don't remember names, so I can't chime in on that. I just hope they have some white guys with lungs who aren't like the annoying Clay Aiken or the red-headed lounge singer.

This could very well be the film to define an entire generation.

In honor of yesterday's Motion Picture Sound Editors Nominations and tomorrow's Cinema Audio Society Nominations (keep on eye on them, the Oscar winner WILL come from those nominees even if it doesn't win at the CAS), I've updated with these two precursor guilds. Motion Picture Sound Editors Cinema...

It's Diane Keaton's fault. I was reading her line when writing castle-hughes' name.

If it's not Walk the Line, it could be Munich which, until this weekend, had a higher gross than BM.

I honestly doubt though that they wouldn't put a populist choice up there. Walk the Line is in unless there some big support for King Kong no one knows about.

The latest update is up.

Golden Globes
Online Film & Television Association

And, for everyone who's checked them out before, check some of the old ones out again. I did a cosmetic change to make delineations between years and decades a little more pronounced.

So, if it's not being seen, then why does imdb record 15,069 votes for the film with 9,543 ratings of 10 and with an average rating of 8.0? Only 19,493 voters have seent Hollywood classic Sunset Blvd., 23,986 voted on wholesome Singin in the Rain... Obviously it's being seen contrary to the popular...

Spoken like the mascot of the Raving Conservatives with Closed Minds League. You could have sufficiently said what you did without taking beef out on Weisz or Clooney. The reason these films are gaining popularity is partially based on the quality of the work but also based on the accurate reflecti...

A lot of free time on my hands? Hah...I only wish. I've been compiling the lists of precursors for the past year. Most of these past few weeks have been formatting, which is, in itself, a pain in the ass.
