I actually watched about 90 minutes of it and didn't care enough to watch the rest..

There were cool things in Watchmen. Some things made me laugh, and some characters were pretty cool. But it was boring as hell. Some of the characters were total jokes. I couldn't take the batman wannabe seriously at all. It was worth seeing, and quite stylish, but I don't think I will ever watch it again. It's a shame because the parts that I thought were cool were very cool.

That's pretty cool, husband and wife both up for awards at the same time :hehe: Actually, I don't think Cameron is married to Kathryn Bigelow anymore, but still...

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Probably split up because of his unreasonable behaviour.

I don't blame him, though. I wouldn't have been able to resist calling her "Deuce" all the time either. :hehe:

Ani, that review, by the way, was spot on :hehe:

I think I'm gonna get Avatar when it comes out on DVD, though. Even though I didn't really care about the characters, the film is pretty to look at :dono:

Can you elaborate, Dev? I don't know anything about this :ask:

Obviously. That's why it was unreasonable behaviour. She didn't know what the fuck he was on about.

It won't - it's far too depressing to win anything other than Best Supporting Actress which it is guaranteed. Best Picture is between Locker & Avatar. Director (if the academy can get over their male bias) is Bigelow's.

Bridges is a certainty for Best Actor.

Best Actress is a out and out fight between Meryl and Bullock.

Best Supporting Actors is the most open category - Plummer is an old favourite so may get the sentimental vote, Waltz gives a fantastic performance as does Tucci and Damon is a pretty popular and well regarded actor in Hollywood.. that category hard to call.

Avatar will win big in the technical awards of course.

Not sure about Best Score although I think Horner's score is very impressive.

Up will win Best animated film.

Cinematography I couldn't call..

That maybe so (I haven't seen it) but the Academy are politically predictable. A black film about black issues made by a black man. I reckon its a strong contender to win.
