I feel like ranting a bit about the academy awards and how stupid they've been lately. it really bothered me that Johnny Depp got nominated last year for Pirates of the Carribbean. i mean, the movie was PRETTY good, but i really didn't think it was as amazing as everyone said it was. he did an awesome job in it, but i just dont think it should have been the movie he got his first nomination with. i mean the guy is one of the few actors who actually stayed away from mainstream hollywood blockbusters for the longest time doing all these awesome movies with the performancec of a lifetime in each and everyone of them and gets no nods. BUT then he goes and makes his first summer blockbuster and gets a nomination. what the crap? had they not seen Ed Wood? or What's Eating Gilbert Grape? or Edward Scissorhands? Nick of Time? Blow? sigh. either way, it's great that he's finally getting the recognition and respect he deserves from the masses and i hope he wins an oscar sometime soon.
speaking of people not getting oscars? where's martin scorcese's? the guy's probably gonna end up getting an honorary oscar for lifetime achievement in filmmaking before he even gets his own oscar for directing. except for gangs of new york, he has an insanely awesome resume of movies. classic cinematic features that have shaped movies and pop culture as a whole. Taxi Driver and Goodfellas are the two obvious one that come to mind. anywho, i think thats all the ranting for now.

Hey Moonib - I'm totally feeling what you've said about Johnny Depp. No way he should have received a nomination for Pirates; he has other, much more deserving work.
I second Depp commentary. Although I think I enjoyed pirates even less than you did. dumb.
Orkideh - have you even seen Pirates?
orkideh and jeff- do you need to get a room? :-)
mr. m- you said nothing about hillary swank. i think she looks like matt damon as a woman.
