Oscars Bitches

[JoOeetheplatypuS]

Except for the fact that you are referring specifically to this, there are a lot of good movies, but from the fact that you saw these movies before the Departed and the fact that you have anime in your sig, I'm guessing you don't see many american movies. You probably focus more on anime and other asian movies, but if you haven't seen little miss sunshine you don't know shit about american cinema today.

HI GRT, I WAS RIGHT WASN'T I

You still haven't properly addressed wanting Scorcese to win an oscar despite the fact that you feel he's a stealing ripoff artist.

I guessed I just liked him too much for all the other films he's done to care, pardon me for my favorism

But I'm not on the Oscar judge committee either, so who the hell cares right? Oh wait..

So the Academy is shit, and makes crap decisions, but you would, by your own internal logic, also make shitty decisions if you were on the academy.

Good game, sir.

departed was similar to infernal affairs but it wasnt exactly the same... much better actors, dialouge, and even a different ending, they may share similar plots but they're different movies

[zoobernut]

I dont know if this was mentioned I missed a couple pages of this thread. I really liked the awards this year there was a lot of variety and a lot of great movies. It was not like past years where you have 3 movies that are the same all going for the same awards all with similar actors in them. Some really great movies came out this year.

Thank you from someone whos actually seen it besides the babbling idiot.. I ordered the movie online and should get it in a few days. Hopefully I can do a side-by-side comparison with my Blu-Ray version of The Departed and see how close they actually are.

Spot on analysis, I was just going to suggest that. Hatred springs from many places, most often jealousy, but in this case I think ignorance.

Haha, it's interesting how someone jumped out saying it's "spot on analysis" when it's not myself or one of my IR friend who actually know for a fact how many American movies I've seen, evidence how easy minds can be manipulated these days.

But onto the real response to that "analysis," yes I have seen little miss sunshine, although IMO Babel should have won, that's a good film too.

There are indeed good films out of Hollywood, but I assumed most people who often read internet forums can catch the unintentional fallacy in my "hollywood makes crappy films" that what I meant was that "majority of hollywood films are crappy" which I think would be supported by a quick glance over at rottentomatos... and for a film to have no creativity or originality in any category to win the biggest award is just gonna tip the slope downhill even steeper.

Oh, and me being upset is mostly disappointment, not hatred. I have no reason to hate an industry producing stuff of a major passtime of mine

You expressed hatred a few posts ago because you had to spend money to see these "horrible movies". Keep contridicting yourself though, no one is noticing.

Dude, I don't say this often but are you an idiot? Who categorized "upset for having money and time wasted" as hatred?

I dont know about you but if I had my money and time stolen from me I'd be more than upset. And yes, upset is often synonymous with hatred; they are on the same continuum. I suppose your use of logical fallacy though is your only way of coping with a losing arguement.

Um, did you see the yahoo movies poll right after the departed was released on who think the new version's better? 91% of people who saw both said the original was over the top better

news flash: just because hollywood actors make more money and receive more western publicity doesn't mean they are better actors than ones in other continents

and yah departed had a different ending, not necessarily a better one unless you are one of those naive little kids who thought the good guys should always win

[JoOeetheplatypuS]

Wait, the good guys won in the departed? Fuck, I thought everybody except the half-insane guy lost.

Well I don't think he was mentioning the different ending to say it was better, but merely to suggest that there WERE differences in the two films. As for that poll, it's clearly biased. Everyone saw IF first and are therefore more apt to like it better for a multitude of reasons (mainly because if they saw it first they are most likely Asian of some sort, and therefore more accustomed to Asian film; there are other reasons like the BIT [burned image theory] but I won't delve into them on an internet forum with you).

Frankly I'd like to make an opinion for myself.

EDIT: Yeah, the good guys won, lol. Thats why DiCaprio got shot in the face right? And why Cpt. Quenin got thrown off a building? Mark Wahlberg can hardly be considered a "good guy".

tell me which elementary school you went to so i don't send my kids there plz thx

Yeah, go back to some comment I made a few posts ago, don't touch on the one I just made. And if you don't think that being upset is on the same continuum and having hatred for something then you clearly lack the definition of one of the words in this sentance. Not to mention, you are dodging my main point which is that if someone stole my MONEY and my TIME, that I would be merely upset. If that's the fucking case, let me know where you live, I'd like to have a look around your house. I don't know where you were raised but the normal emotion around here for someone stealing something of yours is rage.

EDIT: It doesn't matter which school you send your kids to, they won't be with the majority of the kids anyways... I believe the term is "special students"?

sorry if I just get disappointed instead of hating the movie producers when the movie is bad.... you need to chill a bit man

oh yah, before you make even bigger fool of yourself, when the movie is bad, i waste my time and money, simple cause and effect

[GRT]

well the bad guys didn't win, so i guess that's satisfactory for a lot of people...

but the bad guys didn't win either in the original, there's an issue of what's winning and losing in the movie which the original points out at the very beginning with a buddhism story

don't wanna spell it out and spoil the fun for ya

IA is not really a "gangster movie" like the departed is catagorized in, it's more about morals and character struggle than about guns and violence

When I see a movie, and it's utter shit, I feel robbed. I'm obviously not saying that when I leave the theater I have seething rage against the producers, but obviously I'm not happy. And what the hell does your second statement have to do with anything?

And for your clarification, the only person that looks like a fool here is you. I mean, it'd be different if it was just me calling you a fool, but basically the whole room is.

[Burginator]

Holy shit GRT, could you post more times in a single thread if you tried?

But moving on -- I'm absolutely enthralled at The Deparated winning. I didn't see Infernal Affairs, and I frankly don't give a shit. I did, however, see The Departed -- And I thought it was amazing.

If you tried hard enough, you could prove that every movie ever has been based on another movie at some point. And I don't need to do a side-to-side comparison of The Departaed and Infernal Affairs to know that you're just acting high and mighty because 'Hey I'm cool, I saw this asian movie and you didn't!"

You've said your piece, no reason to keep whining.
