Not up to date on what exactly Mac has, but best of luck with the surgery -- and a speedy recovery too.

Tautou is definitely the correct spelling.

Pronounciation... "Toe-two" actually makes sense now that I think of it. "Tau" is somewhat like "beau", which we pronounce "bō" with a long "o". " ...

It's definetly "Tau-tou".

And it's pure, irrational cynicism to think that the Academy never votes for what they truly like.

I'd really like to see where in my post it says "never votes," because I just don't recall saying ...

But to call ROTK flawed in the eyes of the masses, and to attribute its 11 Oscars to simple "dueness", is folly in my eyes.

but you're giving the masses the voice of the minority and that's t ...

And you still can't substantiate the fact that you're debating in a forum where so far everyone who has contributed has said that Fellowship is a better film than ROTK, except you. And you're telling ...

Yes, I started using the US release dates about a week ago, for the very reason that people were getting confused by the Montreal ones. However, I decided not to make the change retroactive past 2004, ...

Wow, ...

That's absolutely true. Great films often appear as great only as time goes by.

But --and this is a pretty huge "but"-- who here honestly thinks that the Academy generally rewards the best films ...

The reason I personally have a problem with The Academy so readily embracing last minute releases is that they have no time to gestate. They are swallowed up greedily based on media and critical hype ...

And if you're trying to tell me last year's sweep wasn't a "make-up" for the two years prior, that's just naive. Yeah, I think RotK was the best film of the year, but it didn't deserve several of the ...

Yes and no. I do agree that you can't account for taste, but discerning cinéates ( Wink

) should be able to go into more detail. I'm genuinely interested in understanding why you think AVLE is more wort ...

No way. AVLE was sepia-tinted to death, and these days, computer-assisted crane shots are rather boring. Richardson, on the other hand, is one of the most inventive DPs in the business, and the use of ...

It was a big let-down.

2. A Very Long Engagement looks 100x better than the Aviator, and should've won "best cinematography".

No way. AVLE was sepia-tinted to death, and these days, computer-ass ...

The show itself sucked, but the winners, if utterly predictable, weren't half-bad.

Glad to see Clint got his dues.

MDB review up for approval. I didn't touch on the psychology too much because it's much too spoiler-ific ... if there is interest, when I get more time, I'll add a section to the review discussing the ...

That Amelie thing was a joke, actually. I haven't seen the movie in too long a time to attempt an in-depth analysis.

But I'd like to chalk something up tonight ... I'm in a writing mood.

So I'll ...
