She is a legend. This young group of actors today all have the manners of goats! 330464@blogcritics.org Mon, 6 Mar 2006 17:31:47 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/03/05/112921.php#comment-330455 I must confess, I haven't seen any of the best pic nominees but everyone I know who went to see Brokeback Mountain found it to be quite boring actually. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess. 330455@blogcritics.org Mon, 6 Mar 2006 16:59:04 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/03/05/112921.php#comment-330332 "The religious right started a campaign to call Hollywood overtly liberal" If you think that campaign started this year, you obviously don't pay attention politically. Wy wasn't Hollywood scared last year when the religious right called them overtly liberal with the euthanasia film, Million Dollar Baby? 330332@blogcritics.org Mon, 6 Mar 2006 13:00:56 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/03/05/112921.php#comment-330254 Brokeback Mountain should've won big time, and I can think of only one reason why it didn't. The religious right started a campaign to call Hollywood overtly liberal and to accuse it of pushing a homosexual agenda. To prove them wrong, Hollywood cowards snuck back into the closet, and slammed the door on a truly artistic achievement. Having seen all five of the nominees I can tell you that Brokeback was the clear winner. This can only mean more drivel to come like the animated New Testiment under the guise of Narnia. Bitter, you're danmed right I am... 330254@blogcritics.org Mon, 6 Mar 2006 09:13:50 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/03/05/112921.php#comment-330219 Just learned the results of the last night's Oscar and frankly, I feel lost to have learned that Crash won the best picture. I have seen both of the pictures (Crash and Brokeback Mountain) and did not have to hesitate for a second to know which one of those two is a far superior movie than the other. If one is really honest with oneself, one will Know that Brokeback Mountain was the movie which should have won the best picture last night. I won't be the only one feeling cheated at the news.
