JCC 2012 JC Awards - Results in page 38

To be fair, I accidentally posted in the wrong thread recently (and edited a minute later) and I won "Best Poster."

 

You guys are vicious wild animals!

 

What about Best Supporting Poster?

 

i finally voted but i'm honestly not sure if i made the deadline in time or not

 

Mmm I don't think any of your votes would change anything. As in you mostly voted for the winners already or ones that were way too far behind.

 

Don't start me on how gobs***e the film was in comparison to the BBC series or the book. It was to the source what an abortion is to childraising.

Guillam is heading up the scalphunters. These are the assassins, burglars, kidnappers, and general thugs of the service. I believe Smiley refers to them as kosh and carry in one point.

In the book and the novel, Ricki Tarr lunges at Smiley and Guillam beats him silly. How Tom Hardy is ever meant to be scared of that oddly mis-shappen face, hewn from the rough oak of other faces, is beyond me.

Pope Benedict the Batch wasn't the worst thing about the film, but he was definately the most soiled character who was also the most mis-cast.

 

Didn't we already have this same conversation in PM? I admit I've not read the book and didn't mind the change in the character from the BBC mini-series, but I can see how that's a huge change that you would be pissed about if you liked the book. Fair enough. Though he didn't write the script, so definitely a casting thing.

It's not his fault that his posh ancestors have been intermarrying for 1000 years. He's a very odd-looking fellow, but hey, it worked for Frankenstein!

 

(Oh I didn't mind the film, though it's just so short and lacking depth relative to the source. It's not necessarily a feature of Le Carre films - recent adaptations like The Constant Gardner and Tailor of Panama proved that - but that book is too dense to make a complete, satisfying 2hr film.

However I am just trying to adhere to your edict of more sniping.)

 

Maybe they should have split it up into several movies: Tinker; Tailor; Soldier; Spy.

 

Oh! Right. Um, pretend there's some fangirl something here about how did you know his dad was that actor as the judge in that episode of Sherlock and omg he has the best eyes! How dare you insult him!

 

I thought it was all about the cheekbones.

 

Oh crap, you're right. Forget about this "acting" you hear about. Zomg cheekbones!!

 

Women are so superficial.

 

You're just jealous that we can be Hottest.

 

EDIT: Jabba-wocky and Rogue1-and-a-half will declare this post "genius."

 

Oh, please, if you're looking for a horrid Le Carre movie, it's obviously The Tailor of Panama.

 

How dare you, sir!

It was great, and it did the source material justice.

 

I would like to thank Barriss_Coffee for bringing this award to my attention.

Now... could anyone explain what it is that I have won?

 

YOU EXIST

 

If I said everything I tell you is a lie and answered no, that wouldn't help.

 

I think Most Spirited means people think you're the most likely to haunt people after your death.

 

I thought it meant the biggest alcoholic.
