Newsies is ing awesome.
One film equals a career?Faulty logic:
So I should put up shots of A Knights Tale and Newsies to show that TDK sucks?
Newsies is ing awesome.
I wasn't suggesting anything about The Godfather, which I think is an amazing film. I was merely pointing out that having Marlon Brando in the cast does not guarantee quality.
Glad to see there is some sense and sensibility left in this ing third world consumer nation we call the u.s.a.
BTW, maggie IS ugly. Very. And I've always thought Katie Holmes was ugly too.
But I agree it is also cool to see a non "perfect 10" chick as the "chick" role, but my main thing about that, and this goes for every movie of this century, is WHY does the "chick" have to even be in there? I feel insulted when movies have to include unnecessary love interests in movies, because it shows that they think we are re s. Katie Holmes almost ruined Batman Begins, IMO.
movie was good, you guys are gay.
Great movie, but overrated. Even Heath Ledgers performance. DDL's performance in TWBB is better by a mile. Too bad no one else will get to appreciate it unless he kills himself (or gets killed).
DDL? TWBB??
Daniel Day Lewis....There will be blood
No one will appreciate it?
But... will he at least appreciate the Oscar he won for it?
Osama bin Laden made the gamble that if terror was brought into the U.S. that people would give into fear, and that if it affected the U.S. economy that people would lose hope.
The Joker did pretty much the same thing, in a way. He used fear and terror to make people lose hope. When Gotham City finally found it's champion and it's hope in Harvey Dent, The Joker managed to take that away from them as well. He even managed to bring this "white knight" into the "dark side", so to speak, and kill all hope that Gotham City may have had.
Joker set up the boat thing as an example that people with no hope would lose their morals in an instant and become no better than he.
Thing didn't turn out the way he wanted for him.
No .
The er has two Oscars and has been nominated for two others and this re makes a statement like that.
Damn.
seems like quite a stretch but okay.
It's not direct, but it's a plausible connection.
I'm not saying I'm right either.
I'd like to know what others think about it.
I think I read an article somewhere that Bin Laden's plan all along wast to affect the U.S. economy so bad that it would create chaos.
And, creating chaos was The Jokers M.O.
The Joker = Bin Laden?
rofl
True, but hasn't chaos *always* been Mr. J's MO? Like I said, read Arkham Asylum: A Serious House On Serious Earth. It goes a little more into the whole chaos/order thing, as well as Joker's "insanity".
ing Christ.
I'm not even going to begin to explain myself. I made what I stated in my original post extremely simple to understand, and you two ing morons (CF and Peepee) missed the whole ing point of my post.
Your post suggested that no one would appreciate the greatness of Daniel Day Lewis' performance in There Will Be Blood unless he died. My post pointed out that, in addition to tons of critical and audience acclaim, he won an Oscar (as well as BAFTA, Golden Globe, SAG, and several critics association awards) for that performance. He even was alive to collect them all. Therefore, people did appreciate, and reward, the greatness of that performance without his death.
So, please, if there was some other, greater point to you comments, kindly let me know, because it clearly wasn't made as simple to understand as you'd intended.
you're reaching and reading way too much into it.
Apparently exaggeration isn't a word in your dictionary, which is wierd considering "confound" is.
"No one" in that post was an exaggeration. "No one", in relation to the amount of people that has seen Batman, has seen TWBB, and thus "no one" will really appreciate it.
Another, probably better example of this: Philip Seymour Hoffman was better than Heath in this movie (way better), but even more so than TWBB, people ignored the movie.
EDIT: was referring to Copote

I just don't see how you can hope to support an argument that Lewis' performance was unappreciated (or, perhaps, under-appreciated) when he received pretty much every major acting award there is, received vast amounts of critical praise, and even had several threads here dedicated to his performance in that film.
It, frankly, confounds me.
Sure, there are people here whose response would lead one to believe they think that Ledger's performance as the Joker is better than Lewis' in There Will Be Blood. I'm not sure I agree with that, as I thought they were both pretty damned amazing. But, no matter how over-the-top the comments in these threads may have been for the last few days, it doesn't change the fact that for the entire last couple months of 2007 and first couple months of 2008, these forums, film critics, award ceremonies, and the general movie going public were firmly latched on to Daniel Day Lewis' nutsack. That performance was easily one of the most universally praised and appreciated film performances that I can think of in the last several years.
Philip Seymour Hoffman was better in what?
You're arguments make no sense.
Capote and There Will Be Blood were some of the most acclaimed and critically praised films.
But, whatever.
