A San Francisco Wedding Cake? 😂 😂 😂

Angela Kern69 said:That’s interesting—she voted for '99, '00, and '01, and I noticed the person right before me picked two out of those three movies.

As for me, I went with '99 and '00.🙂

Some movies feel like they didn't earn their Oscar at all, while for others, we're just relieved they finally got some recognition... here’s a list of Best Picture winners from the last decade. Which one of these actually deserved the win in your eyes? 😎
(Feel free to vote more than once... let's see what you guys think.)

Tim Burton really knocked it out of the park with this one... it’s essentially a story about stories—beautiful, witty, and deeply human. There’s this certain magical warmth that just seeps through the entire thing... basically, it's a love letter from Tim Burton. 👍

The visuals in a Tim Burton film are so incredibly striking that you can't just describe them; you actually have to experience them for yourself... 👍

My rating: 9.5/10

Do I even need to list the reasons?

I’d love to fire back at you, but honestly, let's not... things have been pretty awkward between us ever since you called me out. 😢

Douglas Edwards2 said:Gabal .... let me guess...
you work over at Regal Cinemas in the "misleading the public, trashing the competition, and denying every single one of our flaws" department...

😛 😉

More and more ... honestly, quite possible....🙄

Kevin Wood22 said:Look, don't come knocking on my door later acting like the Grim Reaper just because you hated the movie—I promise Death wouldn't even show up if she were watching this, probably more like a Monty Python sketch

Man, Death is totally checked out... peace, brother... 😎

Monty Python... "In exactly two seconds, the penguin on your TV will explode."

Taking a tip from Kevin Wood22, I’m gonna check out this movie... if it's a total bust, I'll just grab it on DVD later.

velvetridge85 said:Alright, who else is a fan? Personally, I think she's an incredible actress!

No kidding... let's actually start a real fan club. velvetridge85 can take president, and I guess I could settle for vice president or prime minister.🙄 Uma Thurman was my first love... I always find myself coming back to her. There was a period where I was cheating on her with Nicole Kidman, but she eventually forgave me. 😘 🙂

restlesslynx said:And then you’ve got Patricia Arquette—basically this hardcore atheist who spends her nights drinking and running with all the wrong guys... and then they end up together. I bet they cast her for this role because they saw how good that blood looked on her back in True Romance when she was going at it with James Gandolfini 😁

Ugh... what a total trip... watching Patricia take charge while things get messy and she ends up breaking the Soprano 👍

Kevin Wood22 said:Even if we take the movie's core premise at face value—that there’s this secret gospel written by Jesus himself, an original gospel by JC, claiming that God is right under our feet, everywhere you look, and we don't actually need some middleman, whether it's a building, an organization, or a priest—it's funny how something that seems so blasphemous by today's standards feels so incredibly natural, obvious, and plain to see to everyone else... so why wouldn't it be the same for believers?

I had a feeling, Kevin Wood22, that we might actually find common ground on something once we got past the whole Santa Claus thing... for instance, agreeing that we don't need any intermediaries to reach God, let alone a hypocritical Church or those other organizations that seem to exist just to serve themselves. The movie is pretty great, even with its flaws. I think Jesus was a much more positive and complex figure than the Church portrays him to be; I actually relate to the version of Jesus seen in "The Last Temptation of Christ" or even "South Park"... 😎

Kevin Wood22 said:originals and Pikachu 👎

That Pikachu guy? Please, you mean the guy who didn't even touch an original canvas in his life—he was nothing but a glorified copier.😎

Good grief, seriously!!!

😈 🙂 😈 🙂

Brian Gonzalez7 said:That just goes to show how much AT&T is struggling, though honestly, I don't blame them for trying... they're basically fighting for their lives against AMC Theatres and Notre Dame...

The theaters at Notre Dame and the one over on Ibler's are actually owned by the same company; it’s impossible to compete with AMC Theatres when they have the exact same movies but can churn out like 15 different titles a day while everyone else is stuck with scraps.

Jose Miller17 said:Honestly, it’s a perfect movie in my book.😉

Happiness is such a masterpiece... what did you guys think of the Storytelling? It's more of that classic Solondz vibe, too.

Jose Miller17 said:I’m personally boycotting their ads and shoving that pathetic DVD right up their ass... total fascists. Oh, look at us, giving gifts to couples in love... how incredibly romantic. As if being head over heels isn't enough, or the fact that they're hooking up every single night, or even the struggle of trying to be quiet in a movie theater while he whispers plot points in her ear... no, we just have to shower them with prizes because they're so pitifully smitten. Maybe next they'll start handing out gifts to people who just got dumped? Or maybe for the lonely souls, the broke ones, or the people with zero fashion sense? Not a chance, those fascists wouldn't dream of it. Apparently, if you aren't in a relationship, you might as well rot in hell; there are no perks for anyone else. What’s next? A "we’re loaded" campaign? "My dad is a billionaire," "I have everything in life," blah blah blah...
...
Oh, wait, what kind of gift? Chicago... brilliant... I'd honestly dump my girlfriend if they shoved that in my hands right now.

👍

velvetridge85 said:I actually lost it when I saw that ad for the AT&T gallery. Like, I don't think I'd ever bother showing up there just for a single DVD and a box of chocolates. What do you guys reckon?

storysupernovamusictalents is living proof that there are plenty of people out there willing to embarrass themselves for pretty much anything—honestly, even a box of candy without the DVD included. 😎

Jose Miller3 said:Well, why wouldn't they? (I mean, not like you, but people like me)

No way... everyone on this forum is basically my age 😎

we all remember the New Wave era

Jose Miller3 said:It’s such a shame you guys wasted so much space on this thread just bickering over whether the movie is actually good or not. Honestly, it was obvious to me from the jump that the number of people who love this thing will be exactly equal to the number of people who absolutely hate it!

Those are some pretty heavy words... I mean, why would anyone actually HATE a movie? Personally, I liked it, though it wasn't exactly a "breathless masterpiece" kind of experience for me. I recently watched "The Notebook"—it’s such a beautiful, touching love story, highly recommend it. 👍

velvetmason30 said:Just reading the news right now, really brightened up my morning 😍

That's actually pretty great news... so when is she hitting your neck of the woods?
