[Movie] ITE: LeHah Lists The Oscar Nominations For 2009

Well duh, that's why Brandon Lee won so many Oscars, because Hollywood just loves the hell out of dead guys. C'mon Sprout, use your brain.

Most amazing jew boots

Shallow compared to what, the great Jokers that have come before? What's the standard of comparison here?

I mean you've got, what. Nicholson, whose idea of acting is to grab the nearest bit of set dressing and chew it up?

Cesar Romero, who found the role too frivolous to bother shaving?

Mark Hamill, maybe, but voice alone only goes so far.

A handful of nameless fat rednecks in the old b&w serials?

It's not a perfect portrayal, by any means, but I think we all know we're never going to get anything like The Killing Joke as a theatrical release.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, but how many of those characters were in 2008 films?

I don't intend to defend Dark Knight as a whole even slightly. The plot is a jumbled mess and the conclusion is a series of facepalm moments so incomprehensible that I have no idea how anyone signed off on them. I really have to believe that there will be, somewhere down the line, a director's cut that makes sense of the total inanity of the film's last 15 minutes. But that doesn't mean we have to reflexively adopt hostility to every single element of the film just because we can, as some people seem to be doing.

Is it a Great Film? Of course not.

Is it a Great Performance? It's pretty good, but it won't be remembered for more than a year or two at best.

Is it fairly decent by 2008 standards? I tend to think so. Better than "Philip Seymour Hoffman plays: himself. Again."

The whole BAAWWWW IT'S ONLY BECAUSE HE'S DEAD thing is just a ridiculous insulting canard. As I pointed out before, it's nothing new for someone to die in a superhero action film, and Brandon Lee couldn't even win a posthumous MTV Movie Award. It's absurd to pretend that there's nothing other than pity underpinning the nomination.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Juno is, perhaps, the best example you could have used as a demonstration of why nobody should give a tin shit about the Oscars since they're clearly distributed by idiots.

Best Writing. For HAMBURGER PHONE LOLOLOLOLOL.

You know what, under these circumstances I retract my objection. Ledger should NOT be given an Oscar, because the dead should be respected.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yes, and we hate those people also.

I was speaking idiomatically.
