Anger management: get into a fight with your girlfriend, one way to work it off is to beat on a spectator. That can work really well, especially if you are a cop and have a concealed gun on you. The gun can come in handy for beating on the other fellow's head. And if you have a partner or friend nearby, then he can come in and help beat the perp up as well. I am thinking of writing a screenplay about this, even though Hollywood has already done movies about anger management before. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< http://www.dailynews.com/news/ci_14282583?source=rss Two LAPD officers arrested in alleged pistol-whipping By Ruby Gonzales, Staff Writer Updated: 01/27/2010 08:08:42 PM PST WHITTIER - Two off-duty Los Angeles police officers were arrested Tuesday night after allegedly pistol-whipping and injuring a Whittier man during a fight. Whittier police said one of the suspects thought the 31-year-old resident was paying too much attention to an argument the officer was having with his girlfriend. The officers had been drinking, according to Lt. Carlos Solorza. Brandon James Valdez, 29, and Patrick Anthony Fitzgerald, 38, were arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. They were booked at the Whittier jail early Wednesday and posted bond shortly after. Both are out on $30,000 bail. They have an April 7 court appearance at Whittier Superior Court. Valdez and Fitzgerald were placed on administrative leave pending the result of the criminal investigation by Whittier police and the LAPD's administrative investigation, said LAPD spokeswoman Norma Eisenman. Citing personnel issues, the LAPD didn't release any more information about the officers. At a news conference about an unrelated burglary scam, Chief Charlie Beck said Wednesday that the officers' arrests can be a big embarrassment to the department and to the city and that they take it very seriously. Whittier police got wind of the incident about 8 p.m. after receiving a call of a fight outside Panera Bread at 15630 Whittwood Lane. They were told one of the suspects had a gun. Whittier police spokesman Mike Dekowski said one of the off-duty officers, Valdez, argued earlier with his girlfriend. A man standing nearby talking on his cell phone saw the argument. The officer allegedly confronted the man and struck him in the face. The two started fighting. Solorza said the officer reportedly pulled out a handgun and began hitting the man in the head with it. The second officer, Fitzgerald, came out of the restaurant and allegedly got involved in the fight, Dekowski said. The man was able to break free. But as he tried to run away, the suspects allegedly chased him and tackled him to the ground where the assault continued. He got away a second time and ran into a nearby Target store. Solorza said the man suffered blunt-force trauma to the head and was taken to Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital. He has since been released. | |

Actor Rip Torn probably wanted to make a withdrawal, and is now being held on $100,000 bail. Where will he find the money if the bank won't lend it to him? Sometimes it doesn't pay to get out of bed. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100130/ap_e...le_rip_torn_arrested Rip Torn charged with breaking into Conn. bank AP Sat Jan 30, 6:01 pm ET SALISBURY, Conn. – Actor Elmore "Rip" Torn has been charged with breaking into a Connecticut bank and carrying a loaded handgun while intoxicated. State police say the 78-year-old Salisbury resident was arrested Friday night after police found him inside the Litchfield Bancorp with a loaded revolver. The "Men in Black" actor has been taken into custody and booked on charges including burglary and possession of firearm without a permit. He is being held on $100,000 bond and is scheduled for a Monday appearance in Bantam Superior Court. Last year, Torn was given probation in a Connecticut drunken driving case and granted permission to enter an alcohol education program. He also has two previous drunken driving arrests in New York. A spokesman for Torn did not immediately return phone calls Saturday. | |

I wonder if anyone has thought of getting him some psychiatric help? No offense but even if he wasn't an actor, I'd still be wondering about the sanity of a 78ys old with a loaded gun in a bank at night? Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Rip Torn has a history of alcohol abuse. The article states "he also has two previous drunken driving arrests in New York.", as well as being arrested in Connecticut earlier for a drunken driving case. He was given permission to enter an alcohol education program, but how much that helps is debatable. I doubt he is insane: he's an alcoholic. And at 78, there are other factors that might be coming into play, such as Alzheimer's. It's sad that such talented people (Rip Torn, Peter Falk, etc.) need increasing help as they get older, but that's what happens to everyone. Falk is not an alcoholic, but he is a victim of Alzheimer's. | |

Holy Bat-cave, or Holy Spider-webs, or whatever phrase Peter Parker is fond of shouting out loud (I've only seen the first Spiderman movie, so I need to refresh my memory about the character) Logan Lerman says that he is in talks with Sony to play Peter Parker in the "Spider-Man" reboot. This guy, Logan Lerman, is 18 years old, and he is way cuter than that old man Tobey McGuire who is now 34 (an age that's way over the hill to be playing a teenager). Let's everyone hear at PU start an email write-in campaign shouting how great Logan would be in the Peter Parker role. Boy, that guy is cute! I've allredy voted myself President of the Logan Lerman/Peter Parker Fan Club, and will be heading to Japan to talk with the Sony executives about my original ideas for the next Spiderman movie. Wish me luck, guys and gurls. lk2fireone, President and Chairman, Logan Lerman/Peter Parker Fan Club http://movies.yahoo.com/news/usmovies.ac...lks-spiderman-reboot Edited on Feb 04, 2010, 12:18pm | |

Went and saw "The Hurt Locker" this last weekend and really liked it. I'd have to say one of the better war movies ever made. Excellent acting (not over the top or too subtle), interesting script, interesting perspective as viewed from an IED disposal unit, and takes you into the screwed up places people sometimes go when put into life and death situations. Defintely worthy of a best pic Oscar nod. Anyone else have thoughts on this one? | |

I made a reply about the film earlier in this thread, and I agree that it's a good film, though not exactly uplifting--which I like--or the film most likely to make you happy when you re-watch it but still very good. Would kind of like to see it win best picture and a few other rewards as well but money is the god of entertainment and "Avatar" will probably take all the awards and then some, much like "Titanic" did twelve years ago. I also thought it was interesting that ten films were nominated for best picture instead of five, maybe to help give those films some more business? "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I agree that Logan Lerman is cute and has the right look to play Peter Parker. My problem is more in the way they are presenting the next movie. The way I read it. It sounded like they wanted to make it like a teen angst movie with Peter Parker being a teenager at school. If I read the article correctly. The Academy Awards are trying to copy the Golden Globes. The Globes have 2 best pictures. They have a comedy and musical and another for drama. The Academy simply chose to bunch them all together under the Best Picture category. You get more titles but you'll still only get one winner. At least with the Globes 2 Directors will get an award. Afterall isn't that why they have these awards? They certainly don't do it because regular folks vote for the movies. Hell they don't even do it because members vote for the movies. How many actors and actresses truly watch all the nominated movies before casting a vote? I hope that Avatar wins simply because it is one of the best pictures I have seen in a very long time. I'd classify this movie as a true classic. Time will tell but I won't be surprise if 20 or 30 yrs from now. People are still watching it and being impressed. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Kind of like "Star Wars," though it has two great sequels and plenty of re-releases. Time will definitely tell. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I saw Avatar in real 3D. The special effects and digital work was very impressive, but in my opinion the story really didn't offer anything special. It was predictable and in many ways a copy of prior movies just put into a different setting. District 9 was a much better story. | |

I don't think that Avatar will ever reach the level of Star Wars. Both can be considered classics but Star Wars like Star Trek have created a universe where we would like to live. We would like to be a jedi and we would like to join Starfleet. No matter how much money Avatar makes. I don't think we will see many sequels. It's still pretty much Dancing with the Wolves on another planet. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Cameron has said that he made Avatar with sequels in mind. He is talking about making 2 sequels for Avatar. I don't think he is thinking about making as many sequels for Avatar as Lucas did for Star Wars, but I also don't think Cameron is as focused on cash-money as Lucas. Lucas became a billionaire off Star Wars and Indiana Jones, and he is still chasing the dollar with even more sequels, prequels, etc. of those franchises. I mean, how much money is enough for one guy already? | |

I don't doubt that Cameron as sequels in mind but I just don't think that this type of story lends itself to sequels. I guess you could do sequel where the humans are coming back to the planet with force but that means a 12yrs span will have gone by from the first Avatar since it's a 6 year flight. I think that prequel involving dead or killed off characters is always a bad idea. I know that I won't be invested in the outcome of the characters since I know they die off in Avatar. Star Wars was almost sure to have sequels and those were great. If the technology had been what it is today than it would have been so much better. That's why I sometimes wish they would redo all the movies, but then I remember what Lucas as done with the prequels. I think that the prequels had potential even with the fact that most main characters are dead in Star Wars because we might have seen the how the universe was before the rise of the empire. We would have seen what the clone war(read Timothy Zhan books) was suppose to be, The existence of the mandolorians(see Bobba Fett), Anakin would not have been a slave boy who built C3P0 on Tatooine, and met his future wife Padme all the while evading 1 lone sith who's somehow able to beat a master and his padawan in combat and a storyline involving a never explained trade dispute that require a blockade of a never before heard of planet by battleships from the trade federation. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Hmm, I don't know if the original SW trilogy would have been better with today's SFX technology or even the technology of the prequels from a few years ago, the reason being what you said in your third quoted sentence. I don't think the prequels were as bad as they possibly could have been but still a letdown I think in part due to special effects over substance. Dumb characters doing some dumb things while lots of pretty explosions and vehicles were going on in the background. Lucas has already redone the originals in a way. I think he first remastered and re-released them to theaters and then VHS in the mid to late '90s and then added all kinds of extra bullshit to them when DVDs started getting popular, mostly to add extra CGI and fill up some scenes but also to update Anakin's ghost at the end of Episode 6. I have never really seen these changes--the ones that do anything beyond only remastering the original soundtracks and the film prints--as necessary because Episodes 4-6 were already so visually and narratively strong.

I agree that Star Wars would not have been greatly improved with modern technology. The fact that they were forced to build life size replicas of some of the ships instead of CGI versions added some personality to the vessels. Looking at the Millenium Falon with all it's flaws makes it look real. The prequel vessels on the other hand look fake. The only way that remaking SW with modern technology might be an improvement is if they chose to extend the length and go deeper in depth with Luke's past on Tattooine. We could have met him when he was a little younger. Seen him flying in canyons shooting wombats with his T-40 and hanging out with Biggs and other characters. Maybe get a little more background on Obi-Wan. Of course you would have to completely disregard the Phatom menace and other prequels. That Star Wars would not have been improved is one thing but Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi would definetely have been so much better. Some of the main effects in those movies was stop motion photography. It made sense for that time but seeing a bunch of AT-AT going at it with Snowspeeders while aatacking the ice base would be nice in CGI. We could also get a feel that Luke is developing actual Jedi powers instead of what we got. The advantage in remaking these movies is that you can do sequels since the actors would all be much younger. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Lol, yes the Millennium Falcon seemed to have a number of flaws I'm guessing because Han and Chewie never got around to taking it in for service (being frozen in carbonite probably screwed up the maintenance schedule). I'd also forgotten about Luke's wombat-shooting skills; you could argue that skill alone helped determine Episode 4's climax, and would still be more exciting to see than sad little Anakin's childhood.

Avatar crashes and burns at box office. Showing that no movie goes on forever, Avatar finished 2nd at the box office this weekend, forced from the number one position by a weepy movie titled "Dear John". Will this destroy Avatar's chances at the Oscars? Stay tuned for further information on the Avatar losses. Avatar still holds the number one position for number one box office champ in the U.S., and number one box office champ worldwide, having moved past Titanic, the old number one record holder for those titles that sank to the bottom because of inflated ticket prices. But will Oscar voters spend their votes on a movie that has become number 2 (or even lower at Oscar-time) at the current box office? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100207/ap_en_mo/us_box_office | |

Just a passing thought on fashion: For many years now, when rock stars give concerts, they often wear jeans with holes in them. When is the next stage coming when they start wearing jackets or shirts with holes? I would like to see the female rockers (who are young enough) with strategically placed hole in their shirt/blouse/whatever that will increase the eye-appeal of these girls. Or better yet, how about Victoria's Secret lingerie being required outerwear for female movie and rock stars? Male movie stars and rock stars can wear a blanket, for all I care. | |

I hope that not too many of them take your advice if they want to appear on TV because they may find themselves blacklisted from any TV show. Remember Janet's little clothing malfunction which became known as Boobgate. Can you imagine any TV station willing to get fined thousands of dollars for a boob shot? P.S: I still like the idea and wouldn't mind seeing a bit more skin from my music stars. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

How exactly is this any different from how so many female musicians already dress? They're not really rockers (or even decent musicians for that matter) but what's left for women like Madonna, Britney, Christina, and Miley to bare onstage or on TV without having the FCC swoop in, arrest them, and haul them off to Gitmo? Short of performing 'private' concerts in strip clubs where they can show whatever they want whenever they want, I don't think they're going to be taking off any more clothing. If prude and puritanical America's knee-jerk call to arms over Janet Jackson's 2004 Super Bowl nip slip is any predictor, I would say female performers probably now work overtime to prevent showing any of the evil sinful parts of their bodies. :(

turboshaft, you must be more into fashion than I am. I never heard of the snuggie until you brought it up. But if it's comfortable to wear, male rock and movie stars are welcome to wear them. Actually, I don't think there's a whole lot of difference between a snuggie and a poncho or a monk's robe, just a marketing gimmick. But a snuggie does not make a woman more attractive, in my opinion. Back in the 1970s women started to wear lingerie that was normally covered by blouse, dress, whatever, but this lingerie was worn as outerwear. This was even before Madonna started wearing a bra on stage as outerwear. They also went bra-less as a sign of the times. Fashion, for both men and women, is constantly changing. Women's fashion is much more noticeable, and sometimes it even makes the women more attractive. I can do without the fashions of tattoos and piercings. | |

I don't know if anyone would call whatever the fuck the Snuggie is or is supposed to be "fashion" but it's the first thing I thought of when you said "wear a blanket" which is essentially what you're doing when you drape one over your shameless self. I think some marketing guys were just sitting around the office one day and saw a photo or video of the pope and said "Can we make whatever he's wearing out of fleece and convince people that it's not a blanket?" Thus was born the Snuggie. There's a sucker born every minute, or in this case every advertisement. Oh, and trust me I am not into fashion, I just think the Snuggie is a part of the decline of civilized society and it really amuses me. My only fashion tip would be compare the size of your body to the size of your clothing and remember that ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag is not pleasing to the eye. (But don't overcompensate by purchasing a Snuggie.) "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual.

I saw Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The lightning thief. This is the first and possibly only movie from the series of books by author Rick Riordan. I can't say how different the movie is from the book since I've never read it. As far as I can tell from what I've read about the series of books. This is basically like Harry Potter but with Demi-Gods instead of wizards. The main charatcters are the children of Gods and godesses and they attend a special school like Hogwarts is in Harry Potter. I enjoyed the movie but I suspect that their core audince will be teenagers and younger. The acting is good. The pacing is pretty decent and the effects are well done. The biggest drawback is that people will compare it to Harry Potter and that may hurt it. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

pat362, did you see Percy Jackson & The Olympians on your own, or with your kids, grand kids, or other young relatives? From the movie title, it appears the core audience would be, like you say, teenagers and younger. So what made you choose this movie to see? | |

I saw it with my nephew but I would have gone anyway. I am one of those rare individuals that actually likes movies that might be meant for a younger audience. The reason why I mention who the core audience this might be meant for is that the studio didn't necessarily market this to teenagers and I'd rather people be aware. I still enjoyed the movie and I hope it makes enough money to warrant sequels. I like the idea even if it is similar to Harry Potter. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

"Alice in Wonderland" in 3D is due to come out soon. I'm not sure what to make of this one. It seems somewhat appealing given the star power and funky animation effects. On the other hand, I don't know if the story line seems that compelling to me. Apparently this movie is causing a bit of a ruckus too since Disney wants to accelerate the release of it on DVD to 3 months, down from the usual 4 to 6 months. Apparently some theater chains are going to boycott showing the movie because they don't people skipping the theater knowing they can see it on dvd in a few weeks. As an aside, the Oscars are coming up in about 10 days. List your picks for best picture, actor and actress, and supporting actor and actress. The winner will get some awesome prize from the fabulous Wittyguy prize vault ... also known as the home of Walt Disney's cryogenically preserved body and other assorted artifacts. I'll post my picks in the next few days. | |

I wonder about the reason(s) why a studio decides to shoot a torpedo at their own movie before it's even released. No matter how I look at the situation. All I get is bad. It's a classic childrens book but I don't think this is a childrens movie. The marketing is going to be really hard. This may be a Disney movie but I don't think we will ever see an Alice ride based on this movie at any of the theme parks . The CGI that I've seen from the movie just don't appeal to me. It's still a Tim Burton movie and except for Sweeney Todd, I've been a big fan of his work. I don't know if you guys have seen last years Alice mini-series, but I really enjoyed it. It was a pretty interesting re-telling of the story. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

I'm thinking about going to see Alice. My impression is that the film is being positioned as a Johnny Depp movie, with Tim Burton as the guiding genius director. Most movies have more than one actor, but the big draw in this Alice is the star power of Johnny Depp. Anyway, I might see it, less for the story than the visuals. But it does have some story to it. It's more than just a mindless visual feast. Would children enjoy this Alice? It's certainly not aimed at kids. But kids today have mind-sets far different from when I was growing up. The violence and sex that are accepted today far beyond what was considered normal back in the 60s. And parents (and others) take their kids in to see R-rated films without any hesitation or even any thought. As pat362 said, this is a Disney movie. Walt Disney would never have made this movie when he was alive. On the other hand, we live in a very different world from his time. | |

I wish I could take credit for such a brilliant term but I'm afraid it's from the linked article in the quote. I used to quote the line "I refuse to stop. I must watch this dirty movie." but I got tired of it and so now I'm going to use the secondhand smut quote for a while. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I think that The Princess and the Frog could have been made in the Disney era, but I don't know if New Orleans would have been the backdrop. I suspect that they would have remained with the original fable. I kind of miss the Disney fables. Whether they want to do them by drawn cells or all CGI. Just make them but try to move away from the musical pieces. I find that more often than not, they are more miss than hit. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

LA man held on $1 million bail for draping a movie billboard over a Hollywood building. They take movies seriously in Hollywood. $1 million bail is higher bail than many suspected murderers have been set. What is the penalty that should be meted out to this man? He is accused of 3 misdemeanor city code violations. Should he be hanged, burned alive, or given a lethal injection? An offduty cop shot and killed his girlfriend a while back, and I believe his bail was set at less than $50,000 (not positive about the amount, but I believe the bail was somewhere around $50,000. I guess the thinking was that the shooting was accidental, though I don't remember how the case turned out.) >>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<< Movie News & Gossip LA man held after huge movie ad draped on building (AP) Source: AP 1 hour, 26 minutes ago Buz LOS ANGELES - A Los Angeles businessman who was arrested for investigation of draping a huge movie billboard over a historic Hollywood building is due in court after a weekend in jail. City attorney spokesman John Franklin says 49-year-old Kayvan Setareh is being held on a $1 million bail and will be arraigned Monday on three misdemeanor city code violations. Setareh was arrested at his Pacific Palisades home after allegedly arranging for the eight-story ad for the upcoming movie "How to Train Your Dragon" to be hung at a busy Hollywood intersection. City attorney's officials say Setareh posted the unpermitted "supergraphic" despite warnings. No telephone number was listed for Setareh. It was not immediately known if he had hired a lawyer. | |

I am not too surprised. You know, I gave up being shocked by the U.S. 'justice' system a loooong time ago. Why, you may ask? It's simple; this country is full of dumb, idiotic, bullshit laws with more than enough idiots willing to enforce them, and in many cases, such as this one, enforce them to an insane degree. I mean, a million dollars for bail? Are you kidding me?! To be fair film is Hollywood's religion (or it may just be money) and a good rule of thumb is you don't fuck with locals' religion no matter how much you may disagree with it. This is why Bill O'Reilley or Glenn Beck don't take their respective shows on the road for Middle Eastern travel specials. And it's the same reason why few movies are made in the bible belt. If you're going to promote a movie you better make sure you're doing it with the proper venue such as an actual billboard or advertisement of some kind, or else you better have a million dollars to spare.
That's not surprising either. A police officer in my area shot and killed an unarmed man because...well, I guess he thought the guy was armed too. Except he wasn't and now he's dead and the officer never got in trouble, or his name released to public, and the incident was only quietly 'settled' months after it happened. Initially the police refused to release any details or the officer's name, and then they said the case was closed still without releasing the officer's name. In the officer's defense the suspect had just robbed a florist, so I guess it was pretty much shoot to kill after that. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

If someone shoots a police officer in the back, the police say the shooter is a criminal, cowardly, and contemptible, among the nicer things the police say. If a police officer shoots a person in the back, no matter how many times the officer shoots the other person, the police say it's self-defense. Just a matter of viewpoint. I remember reading some quote by a police chief about a shooting. The suspect was shot multiple times in the back, and the police chief said, roughly, that it was a justified shooting, or that the shooting was done in self defense. What is comes down to, basically, is that when dealing with the police, unless you have a lawyer standing next to you, it pays to be careful. Even with a lawyer, it's probably a good idea to be a little careful when dealing with a police officer. I remember, this is ancient history from back in the 1970s, I think. There was a police officer in Augusta, Georgia, who was cleaning his revolver in the police station, and he accidentally shot one of his fellow officers. I don't know what happened to the officer who did the shooting. This was before the internet, so the information was not that easily available. But in that case, the shooting was not claimed as "self defense". The newspaper just reported the shooting as an accidental shooting. Edited on Mar 02, 2010, 06:06am | |

Iran appears to be a worse place to be a movie maker than the bible belt. And if you back a political candidate, make sure you back the winner. >>>>>>> <<<<<<< Iran detains director Panahi: opposition website (Reuters) Source: Reuters Tue Mar 02, 2010, 3:22 am EST TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iranian security forces have detained film director Jafar Panahi, winner of many international awards, an opposition website said on Tuesday. Panahi was held at his home together with his wife Mahnaz Mohammadi, daughter and 15 guests on Monday evening, opposition leader Mirhossein Mousavi's website Kaleme said. Panahi's home was searched and some of his belongings seized, it added. The director supported Mousavi in last year's disputed presidential election, which plunged the Islamic Republic into months of political turmoil. There was no immediate comment from the authorities and official Iranian media did not report Panahi's detention. Last month, festival organizers said Iran had prevented him from traveling to the Berlin film festival. They said a travel ban had been imposed on Panahi, a winner of awards including the top prize at the Venice film festival for "The Circle" in 2000. Iran's pro-reform opposition says the June poll was rigged to secure the re-election of hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The authorities denied the accusation of vote rigging and portrayed the huge opposition protests that erupted after the vote as a foreign-backed bid to undermine the clerical establishment. Thousands of opposition supporters were detained after the election. Most of them have since been freed but more than 80 people have been jailed for up to 15 years. Two people put on trial after the election have been executed. (Writing by Fredrik Dahl; editing by Michael Roddy) | |

Critics reviews for Alice in Wonderland are not very impressive. That's a shame. But the visuals of Alice look impressive to me. | |

I visit AICN(aint' it cool news) once a day and one of their regular collaborator said that it is not a very good movie in of itself but that it is visually quite amazing looking. Here is how he described it: "This is the Chronicles of Narnia in the Land of Oz peppered with the window dressing of Wonderland". Long live the Brown Coats. | |

I'm waiting to see what other's have to say about Alice in Wonderland. While it could be interesting I'm not sure I want to fork out big $$$ to see the 3 D version and, if I'm not willing to do that, why see it all? As an aside, here's my quick pic of Oscar winners (remember, take these picks to Vegas and bet everything you got on them because they're sure fire winners ... at least that what's Rick told me and he lives in Vegas ;) Best Pic: Hurt Locker. I've seen 9 out of the 10 nominees for best pic and this one is the best of the bunch in my opinion. I really like Up in the Air as well but that wasn't really a great film in terms of overall effect, that was just decent writing and good actors. Avatar is all about effects so it shouldn't really win either. None of the others really measured up in my book so there it is. Besides, even if some other people liked other movies this is probably going to be a number two on voter's ballots (this year they have to rank the pics 1 - 10, no more voting for just one) so it has several avenues available for a win. Best Director: Hell, even if I'm wrong on my best pic bet it goes to Kathryn Bigelow for Hurt Locker. Good movie, she'd be the first woman to win in this category, 'nuff said. Book it Dan-O. Best Actor: Fuck if I know. Oh wait, I'm making predictions here. I didn't see Crazy Heart so I'm just guessing that The Dude did an abiding job there. The pro's like The Dude. I like Morgan Freeman from Invictus (he was born to be Mandela ... thank god he wasn't) so you're going to have to split or skip on your Vegas odds here. Best Actress: Personally, I thought that The Blind Side was tolerable and formulaic at best. Sandra is hot (I'd buy a subscription to her MILF sex site) and not a bad actress but Academy Awards should be about making a great movie, not a lifetime achievement award. The young gal from An Education was good but she's too young to win (no more Tatum Oneil's ... it's nothing but the almighty curse of young actors who turn into coke heads and wanna be morons when they grow up) so that only leaves Meryl Streep. Meryl deserves it more than Sandra so I'm going out on a limb here and saying make Meryl my dark horse over the pretty horse pick of the week. Best Supporting Actor: Good 'ol "What's his face". The Nazi dude from Inglorious Basterds wins hands down. No need for him to show up, just mail the damn glittery gender neutral nude dude to him already. Best Supporting Actress: Mo Nique for Precious. Again, another hands down winner. Compelling heart wrenching acting (when's the last time you've seen that in a porno damn it) compared to everyone else. When the fat lady sings (I think she does ... sometimes) it's over. That's all I got other than saying that Avatar will sweep the technical awards -- that's right, I'm really going out a on limb there. Any other thoughts before Sunday night? | |

Didn't he try and convince you or another member a few weeks back to move out there and get in on some cheap real estate? Just kidding, Rick! ;) Please don't pull a Joe Pesci on me and have me beaten up, shot, and then buried out in the desert with all the former PU'ers! I'll be good! "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

To add to the prediction heap along with Wittguy, here are my Oscar picks. Read 'em and weep, baby! (Taking into account that this member has seen only two of the nominated films thus far--"The Hurt Locker" and "Avatar."): Best Actor: I know Hollywood and most of the U.S. has a rock hard boner for Mr. Clooney but Jeff Daniels is The Dude and The Dude just won a Golden Globe, which are sort of like the Oscars' PSATs but with a less anthropomorphic award. Best Actress: Continuing the rock hard erection theme from above, I would say Ms. Streep, but Hollywood does love its feel good stupid syrup and "The Blind Side" is stupidly syrupy beyond belief (or so says everything I've read about it) so Ms. Bullock may get it. I also think it would be nice if they just said "Fuck you!" to both of these women and awarded it to Gabourey Sidibe, the lead actress in "Precious" but she's, well, not a skinny white woman and that makes Hollywood uncomfortable, so it's not happening. Best Supporting Actor: I really don't care here, but Christoph Waltz from "Inglorious Basterds" since it was directed by demigod Quentin Tarantino, and because Wittyguy said so. Best Supporting Actress: Again, don't care, but Mo'Nique did win the Golden Globe. Best Director: Hmm, I don't know. On the one hand, James Cameron is "King of the World" (he said so himself) and he won the Golden Globe, but it's felt that Katheryn Bigelow is sort of overdue for this award so who knows. Best Picure: (drum roll, please) "Avatar" plain and simple. He who has the money holds all the power, and "Avatar" made money to the extreme and then some so it's winning, and if you think differently you will be arrested, detained, and subsequently exiled to Pandora by force after the conclusion of the awards ceremony. There you have it, my top predictions with ineffable accuracy and insight, fresh out of my ass, from whence all my knowledge comes. Enjoy! ;) "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Best actor: Jeff Bridges not because they saw the movie but because people say he's very good in it. Best Actress: Sanda Bullock because this may be the only film she will get nominated for and she has been at it for a very long time. Best Supporting Actor: Christopher Waltz. I don't thing Inglorious Bastards will win too many awards so this would be a great way to highlight the movie and offer a compensation prize. Best Supporting Actress: Mo'nique for Precious the same reason as for the best supporting actor. Best Director: I'm going with James Cameron but this may be one of the thoughest ones to predict in a long time because all the other directors did an amzing job. Best Picture: I'm also going with Avatar. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Alice in Wonderland zooms to the top of the box office. On Friday, opening day, Alice took in an estimated $41 million. Current estimate for the weekend is $110 million. That would make Alice a box office winner, by any standards. I said in a previous post that critics' reviews of the movie were not impressive. But the box office numbers certainly are. Many people, apparently, pay little attention to the critics when picking their movies. | |

I'm waiting until next weekend to make my Oscar predictions. I feel I don't have enough information on the films in consideration to make truly judicious choices, and that my choices next weekend will be, because of the wait, much better informed. On the other hand, I used to pay more attention to the Oscars. But that was before I realized how much taste in movies is a matter of individual preference. An Oscar-nominated film might easily be a boring waste of time for me. So in spite of experts' opinions, when it comes to my enjoyment of a film, my own opinion is what matters the most. | |

I must confess that I haven't watched an Oscar presentation in many years. Quite often the movies being nominated don't appeal to me or frankly would nver have been nominted if it weren't for critical acclaims that it's a masterpeice. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

I didn't watch the Oscars and by what I've read this morning. I'm rather very lucky because it seems to have been very long and boring. I got all my predictions wrong except for Best Picture and Best Director. I'm actually very glad that Katherine Bigelow won. I'm curious to know if won because her movie was considered the best one or because Hollywood has issues with Cameron and they thought it would be poetic justice to make his Ex-wife win. We'll never know. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Man, I was way off; "The Hurt Locker" swept the Oscars including Best Picture which I really was not expecting. If you are looking for escapist entertainment "The Hurt Locker" isn't it and I was surprised it won so many awards considering it deals with a real current issue. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I'm glad it won but I wonder how many people who voted for it actually watched the movie? I often find that movies that get nominated do so not for overall content but because people say it should be nominated. I think that's why winning or being nominated has no effect on whether I will go see any of these movies. Long live the Brown Coats. | |
