HAY GUYS

I have not seen Milk or Slumdog either (unfortunately), but I can tell you I did not enjoy Button.

I've seen the story before. It wasn't an interesting story. In fact, I disliked the pacing and the execution. It was a pretty film, and both Pitt and Blanchett did well. But the film is REALLY not one of the best I've seen.

WALL-E was much much better (and more deserving), and this is coming from a person who adamantly loathes animated films. There are very few I like, and WALL-E is among them.

As for the Dark Knight, I laugh at all the nominations it's getting. The only justifiable one would be Heath Ledger as best actor, but he's dead, so there are favorites being played there I think. The DK is not something I would personally consider ground-breaking, thought-provoking, or awesome film-making. Now, I'm not an expert, and I am biased when it comes to Batman movies, but I really think it would say something for the films of 2008 if the Dark Knight got any real awards besides Heath Ledger.

How ya doing, buddy?

Before anyone thinks I am completely agreeing with LeHah, I'd like to state that I believe Ledger got so MANY nods because he's dead.

I don't think it's the only reason he's up there.

If you ask me (and as I've stated before), Ledger was the only reason to see that movie. This is from a chick who doesn't like Batman very much, though. I looooved his performance, but you can't say that if he was alive, he'd be getting the same acclaim.

I'm just saying it may have a PART in it. Not THE reason, but part of the reason.

I think he did extremely well in the role, and I would watch his performance over and over and over again if I could skip through the rest of the movie. Ledger made the movie worth it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I am not a Batman fanboy, but I appreciated Ledger's acting in the film. This should say something for Ledger.

I am subject to Pang's love of the Joker, however. I know more than I would like to know about Batman just by knowing Pang.

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

Dagget, why don't you admit that you judge the acting you see on the screen and compare it only to the acting you see in the ring?

Penn has done a fantastic job in acting in a lot of the films he's done. Painful, honest, and excellent. I Am Sam, Dead Man Walking, Mystic River... they're all really great roles he filled more than well.

You can't tell he's faking it, unlike the wrestlers you're accustomed to. =/

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