Yep saw The Help. Totally agree that it would have been a great Hallmark/Lifetime movie.

Me too. I felt the exact same way about the Blind Side as well. It was essentially a not bad TV movie.

Boring.....another circle jerk around George Clooney's "acting". Please.

Hooray for Demian Bichir!

Congrats to all the ladies of The Help and the ladies of Bridesmaids for their noms as well!

I didn't see Pedro Almodovar's La Piel Que Habito but I wish he'd been nominated (not that he needs more awards lol)

As a Black woman I really am over movies like The Help getting nominations especially since that movie was a Lifetime Special at best.

When I read "Brad Pitt, Moneyball", it registered in my mind as "The Money Pit".

Gary Oldman!! YES!!!!!

Just looked at best supporting actor. Jonah Hill vs. 3 veteran thespians. This could be interesting.

I looked at the nominations earlier and they only nominated 2 songs this year?
That is an Elton Madge snub. Seems to me both would be eligible.

I still wanna know why Jolie and/or Pitt act excited or concerned whether their movies win anything or not. Haven't all those trips to Pakistan and Africa proved what's really important? Or am I missing something...

Gosh, you're so behind, there will be a "Golden collar" award, created on Ugg's performance to hail animal acting. Go read the biz.

I think so too, although, as I previously said Coriolanus looks promising with him, Redgrave, Finnes and based on a Shakepearian play.

It is just sad when you see him in things like The Bounty Hunter,( although I did like his tiny sea turtle comment in the movie) and P.S I Love You, which I thought was a low in both his and Hillary Swanks careers. Oh, and that movie with Katherine Heigel.

Again, I cannot get past JONAH FUCKING HILL, who should be clerking at a video store (do they still even exist) and not acting in, much less being nominated for awards for, acting.

I don't know how some of you feel about Gerard Butler films, BUT I really have to recommend one of his earlier ones, Dear Frankie. I LOVED THAT MOVIE. It was very sweet, and had me in tears, and I don't even really like kids or stories like that, but if you haven't seen it and have room in your Netflix cue or want to ck it out on cable, Dear Frankie is worth the watch.

I would like to see Butler in more films like that because he is quite good.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed. I LOVED Dear Frankie, as did the friend to whom I recommended it. Butler is better than the movies he's currently doing.

Evil_Cupcake -- OMG, thanks for that hint! I Googled the eagle sweatshirt and let out the loudest Edna Krabappel-like "HAH!" when I saw the picture of the eagle sweatshirt!!!!!!!!

@TwatMuffin- hope this link works-http://www.thechicgeek.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1069:get-the-look-blue-valentine&catid=37:fashion&Itemid=61

Google Eagle Sweatshirt from My Blue Valentine, and the funniest stuff about it comes up. So many people felt the way we did about it!

Ahahahaha! YESSSSSSSS! EAGLE SWEATSHIRT FOR HOT SLUT!

Evil_Cupcake -- I see what you mean about the love motel and the significance of the room from the future, but I think it was the combination of the tacky furniture, Ryan's balding hair don't, his passed-out drunkenness on the floor AND the eagle sweatshirt combined that skeeved me out. Let's put it this way -- a clean eagle sweatshirt on a young, hot, non-balding, non-drinking Ryan? I'd hit that from morning til night and then some!!! If I could find a damn picture of the eagle sweatshirt, I want to nominate it for Hot Slut of the Day, don't ya think?

Submitted by Twat Muffin on Tue, 01/24/2012 - 12:20pm.

Awwwww, I kind of thought the tacky love hotel was sweet. It kind of showed how he tried to keep the love alive, even if his methods were tacky and a bit juvenile. All I kept thinking was "Michelle (or her characters name) he's TRYING! Give him a break". He chose the Room from the Future, that was cute!

The only thing that would have been a deal breaker with me, the dirty eagle sweatshirt. Maybe THAT was her breaking point. LOL!

Evil_Cupcake -- thank you for my first huge laugh of the day!!! Wasn't that sweatshirt awesome? Like how did Ryan go from being so fucking hot to partially balding & wearing a fucking eagle sweatshirt? And that tacky love hotel they went to -- what the hell was up with that?

Migraine Sally & Gardening Girl -- OMG, I so agree with you guys. I've always been very uncomfortable seeing/hearing/talking about bodily functions.

Evil, thought 300 was a "fun" movie and have seen a few movies were he has small roles. He alright. Though he's looking a bit stringy lately.

I find it hard to believe that a movie that uses a fat chick taking a shit in a sink to squeeze laughs out of an audience, is Oscar nominated. Long way from Lawrence of Arabia.
--------------------------------------------------

Could not have said it better myself.

I do not find defecation funny. Or vomit. It seems as though the masses do though, because Hollywood is pandering to this demographic obviously. I liked Bridesmaids very much, all but the nasty, nasty stuff. I did not find it necessary to the storyline. That's just me though. I am not an Apatow fan for the same reasons.

Evil_Cupcake, mastixa & ethang -- thanks for your thoughts into "Blue Valentine." Mastixa, even though she mentioned wanting to be a doctor at that dinner at her parent's house, girlfriend didn't seem smart enough to become one and I thought it was mostly a pipe dream for her. And her character was a slut! She slept with like a million guys starting at age 13! And yeah, Ryan's character really wasn't going anywhere, but damn, he's HOT! And yeah, I had the feeling when he was walking down the street that he was literally walking away from the relationship. But no one here is answering my most nagging question -- WHAT ABOUT THE EAGLE SWEATSHIRT???

Yep saw The Help. Totally agree that it would have been a great Hallmark/Lifetime movie.

Can't believe "Tree of Life" was nominated for ANYTHING much less Best Picture.

THANK YOU! Anytime I bitch about it, I get the old "well, you just didn't get it." Well, guess what? Neither did Sean Penn. He straight up said he had no clue what was going on the whole time they were filming. Ugh. Fuck that movie. Also, fuck The Help. Snoozefest.

Whatever, if I stopped reading a book or listening to music or watching art of any kind because the creator is a this or a that, I would be stuck looking at needlepoint pillows sewn by Angie Harmon and Matlock.

*****************

Exactly like a point that I made earlier.

And it is hypocritical to think that all the people that some people admire are saints, without anything dark or controversial in their present or past.

Yes, let's boycott all writers, actors, singers, artists, architects who do not go with the flow and live in a world where everyone has the same views and opinions, making everything all neat in a little bow.

FYI- Before someone accuses me of supporting pedophiles, I DO NOT, but I do not regard people signing a petition for a director who is a horrible person, as pedophiles either. Perhaps misguided in judgment but not people who are actively abusing children. That is where I stand.

hold up, i'm not getting "nasty" on you. it has nothing to do with you, i'm talking about her. you're the one getting personal. i have every right to dislike her and made myself very clear/explicit as to why. you took issue with me/my opinion of her (and still are).
re-read for fuck's sake.
again, you took issue with me -not the other way around.
all i did was hammer away on my points of why i despise her.
but jesus, if that's your comprehension of how this conversation was (that i was getting all "nasty" on you), then maybe it is best we "ignore" each other because that in itself is too fucked up & completely uneccesary (because i wasn't).

I think Melissa McCarthy is a great actress. She made Bridesmades tolerable to watch.

Oscar worthy??? Meh...but she was terrific in that movie.

I LOVE THAT DOG!!!

My doggie looks a lot like him, but she is feminine looking....he'd make a great puppy daddy for her, if she could ever meet him, or still have puppies for that matter. :)

Jonah Hill was decent in Moneyball but the fact that he's Oscar-nominated for the role is a complete joke.

***************************************************************

I agree. And the same for Melissa McCarthy (fat chick from Bridesmaid).

I FUCKING HATED Winslet's and DiCaprio's characters with a passion. I especially hated her. There was more substance to the story, but I felt nothing but disgust and contempt for the both of them towards the end. I had zero sympathy for either of them.

I guess maybe that is what makes a movie good, is if it brings out serious emotions from you.

I didn't watch a single movie nominated and I couldn't even care to watch them.

I totally don't care about the Oscar this year. When you can nominate the fat chick from Bridesmaids for Best Supporting Actress (this year's Marissa Tomei), you know this year is going to suck.

I'm sorry, but I don't think I can watch "Extremly Loud and Incredibly Close". I will bawl my friggen eyes out.

I've got nothing on the rest.

Lemme just say, I saw the previews for the new "21 Jump Street" and I am disgusted.

Whatever, if I stopped reading a book or listening to music or watching art of any kind because the creator is a this or a that, I would be stuck looking at needlepoint pillows sewn by Angie Harmon and Matlock. William Faulkner said some lousy shit about blacks and women, but I still think "The Sound and the Fury" is a classic. Truman Capote said some lousy shit, too, but "In Cold Blood" is still genius. Virginia Woolf was a snob; Edgar Allen Poe was a total racist; Picasso was a womanizer; Alain Locke a total sexist; and Henry Fonda called the great Charles Laughton a gay slur, but I still watch his movies. Some people take their fucked up shit and turn it into art, e.g., Alfred Hitchcock, Martin Scorsese, Janet Frame, Anne Sexton.

I can't overlook Polanski's "Knife in the Water'; "Rosemary's Baby"; "The Tenant"; "Chinatown" and countless others over a decades-old crime that even the now middle-aged teenager dismisses and that had interesting legal and political ramifications.

And Tilda Swinton is an actress I admire, and her work in "I Am Love" is too exquisite to dismiss because she dares express her informed opinion on something--consequences and how it looks be damned--which is her approach to acting, which is why I totally dig her.

The plot was thin, but it was supposed to be about view into a marriage.

I was wanting more of what went wrong in her mind. Why she gave up her dream of being a doctor. Why she turned on him. Was it his alcoholism? His inability to be something other than a day laborer? Was she angry at herself for her choices or did she blame him for loving her? SO MANY QUESTIONS Mastixa!
--------

Exactly damnit! so much potential, so much. You know when I watched Revolutionary Road, it gave me this full story of an unhappy couple and I found myself nodding and saying yes. It was relatable, regardless of the period of time. And I suppose I wanted Blue Valentine to give me that feeling, a sense of relatability, and it failed because as you say, it didn't have any of that back story.

I saw most of Albert Nobbs and I hope Janet McTeer runs away with the Oscar. I just love the convidence her character showed in the movie.
