The Perks of Being a Wallflower was amazing. God, I love that book.

Warm Bodies was a darn good movie. Not your usually Zombie . but a good watch. Good story to it and something different. Go see it now!

Need to see this. Heard good things about it. Just looks like a chick-flick to me though, so I'm not that excited for it.

Teresa Palmer. 'Nuff said. Sustaining Aussie's pipeline of beauties that should be more valued than their exported metal cores.

Didn't really watch Skins. First noticed Nick Hoult's stage presence in Tom Ford's A Single Man. Soon will be another Brit actor making big things in the US.

It's not a chick-flick, the story is about a teenage boy dealing with some really ****** up stuff.

[Jvig43]

No it's a chick flick for about 90% of the movie, and then the last ten minutes turns into a story about the kid going through some really ****** up ****. I have not read the book but I imagine they did a better job with that.

Fan-made conceptual poster. ******* righteous.

[Prowler]

reasons for crash:

1. Han Solo fell asleep due to being 70 years old.
2. Han's buzz finally wore off and he realized how terribly Carrie Fisher aged.
3. Decided to go out gracefully in the early moments so as to not be raped like in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

With that said, I can't wait.

I love that they didn't learn enough from the last movies not to center the stroy around characters from the original saga, and so we get to see them basterdtize Luck, Han, and co even more.

Im just hoping it's about new characters with Han and them in it to provide a level of familiarity to casual fans...I know it won't be...

[Prowler]

The rumor was that the focus would be on the kids. Hopefully Han and Leia are there to wave the kids goodbye. Maybe have Han and Chewie show up piloting the Falcon for an "You're all clear kids" and then just have Luke and the youngsters the rest of the way out. I also hope that they are in their 20s and are not teens.

I looked at that poster and thought it was for a movie called Seven and I thought "wasn't there already a movie called Seven?" Obviously not a Star Wars fanatic.

So as if my childhood isn't going to be raped enough by Michael Bay remaking TMNT, apparently Megan Fox will star in it.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't love TMNT for the acting, but get someone else to play the hot chick please.

“This is a preferential system. I’m putting Amour at No. 9 because I’m just pissed off at that film. Beasts of the Southern Wild is a movie that I just didn’t understand, so that’s my No. 8. Les Miserables goes in seventh place -- it’s not just the most disappointing film of the year but the most disappointing film in many years. Above that I’m putting Silver Linings Playbook, which is just a “blah” film. Django Unchained will go into my fifth slot -- it’s a fun movie, but it’s basically just Quentin Tarantino masturbating for almost three hours. Next up is Life of Pi because of how unique it is and for holding my attention up until its irritating ending. Argo is gonna go in third place, but I don’t want it to win because I don’t think it deserves to win and am annoyed that it is on track to win for the wrong reasons. Actually, come to think of it, do we have to put a film in every slot? Because what I want is for my best picture choice to have the best possible shot, so why even give any support to the others? [He has his assistant call the Oscar voting helpline, finds out that voters can leave slots blank and promptly removes all of the aforementioned selections.] I’m basically OK with one of two films winning. Lincoln is going in my second slot; it’s a bore, but it’s Spielberg, it’s well-meaning, and it’s important. Zero Dark Thirty is my No 1.”
Vote: (1) Zero Dark Thirty, (2) Lincoln, (3) [blank], (4) [blank], (5) [blank], (6) [blank], (7) [blank], (8) [blank], (9) [blank]

Lincoln is the second best nominated film to this guy despite it being a bore because Spielberg directed and it is well meaning? I don't even understand how it is in any way important. Considering the only other film he wants to win is Zero Dark Thirty it seems a prerequisite to get this persons vote is the film must be chalk full of pro America propaganda. The Academy Awards are a joke.

[Bert Macklin]

Also Tarantino masturbating for 3 hours is better than most movies

Where is cloud atlas on that list?

It was nominees for Best Picture. Cloud Atlas should have been nominated but was not.

Argo **** yourself everybody. Glad Lincoln didn't win.

I haven't seen the movie, but the book is a beautifully crafted masterpiece. They must have really ****** it up hard for it to not get nominated.
