FF:WA Oscar(that hollywood thing) this year..

yep that's the one , the shining is brilliant , not the stephen king version , the kubrick version, heaps more scarier

 

That drill instructor was also in The Frighteners with Michael J. Fox. He played a drill intructor in that one too. I also like the drill instructor played by Christopher Walken in Biloxi Blues.....

"This here is pure Alabama Blacksnake, aint' too Buku neither...."

eight ball on being rejected by lady of negotiable affections

 

We just got the frightners out on video. Haven't seen it yet though. I wanted to see some of Peter Jackson's work so I can get a bit of an idea of what to expect from the Lord of the Rings. I know you can judge a producer by past efforts but it's interesting to see their older films. I recently got out THX1138 and American Graffiti for similar reasons.

 

yeh i agree, i love american graffiti, but disliked THX1138, it's not like the storyline wasn't inventive , but i had a hard time keeping myself awake , it was a very slow paced film

 

Sort of like 1984, except that I understood what was going on in 1984.

 

All over red rover.............
Gladiator-Best Picture
Julia Roberts----Best Actress(no surprise)
Russell Crowe--Best Actor and a great speech.
Traffic--most other things check the list.

 

woohoo !!! i'm glad gladiator won best picture

 

Im happy Gladitor picked up so many as well, it was a damn good film!!

It picked up, from memory:

Best Picture
Best Leading Actor
Best Costume Design
Best Sound
Best Visual Effects (NO ONE COULD BEAT THIS ONE)

Well thats it I think. So Thats FIVE! I still think they should have won Best Music Score though.

 

I dont believe it. ILM missed out again and gladiator did have good special FX but I think that Hollow Man's Special FX were far better than gladiators. I hope that ILM cleans up next year will Episode 2 and I hope it gets best picture.

GO STAR WARS!!!!

 

The thinking in Hollywood seems to be:
The less shots vs the most shots wins.
