Is ZERO DARK THIRTY The Best Movie Of The Year??
Kathryn Bigelow's Hunt For Bin Laden movie "Zero Dark Thirty" (opening Dec. 19) has emerged as an early frontrunner for 2012's best movie. I know The Holy Bible's Ten Commandments indicate killing is something we shouldn't indulge, but I'm quite keen to see it; any excuse to relive Old Man Osama's violent demise.
"Zero Dark Thirty," currently pulling 100% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, stars Jessica Chastain, who was a guest star in the sixth episode of "Veronica Mars" eight years ago.
Tomorrow (Dec. 9) brings announcement of the best film of 2012 as chosen by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association.

force fed arsewipe propaganda?? Maybe im just a cynical fucker.
killing Osama? I smell shite.
In another's hands this would be patriotic fluff, but Bigelow is a great filmmaker. I def will see this.
Dec. 8, 2012, 8:34 p.m. CST
So sick of hearing this "Propaganda" horse shit. Almost every review mentions how staunchly apolitical the film is. It just tells it like it is.
by DrBathroomMD
Grow up people. It's a movie about real shit that went down. Nothing more.
Dec. 8, 2012, 8:36 p.m. CST
this movie was about how the US was FAILING to get Osama up until we got him and then the end was changed
by AntonStark
it doesn't take more than a google search about the movie to find out the facts. interviews with the director and writer are easy to find. the fact is that this movie is the last thing from propaganda. nobody looks great in the movie. that's part of the reason why so many are loving it. at least, that's what they say. also, they say that the last 20 minutes at the compound are some of the most intense moments in film history. probably because they are true and because everyone in America (who isn't a fucktard) feels like getting Osama was like getting the guy who raped and killed a family member. watching the moment of reckoning on film is one serious moment of catharsis.
Dec. 8, 2012, 8:37 p.m. CST
yeah, it's propaganda that's why it was released just in time

god, these jack reacher comments just ruin any possibility for an interesting talk back
by AntonStark
is the talkback just 12 year olds and men with the maturity of 12 year olds nowadays? is it even possible to have a decent conversation here or is this just a playground for idiots now?
better than that piece of shit The Hurt Locker. Seriously academy, how the fuck to you give best director to someone that directed Ralph Fiennes into a bad performance?
Dec. 8, 2012, 8:45 p.m. CST
Am I the only one that though Bigelow didn't deserve Best Director?
by eveelcapitalist
Or that The Hurt Locker didn't deserve Best Picture? Fucking Academy politics. "We need a female winner!" And so it goes... The Hurt Locker was like a schlocky action movie with the camp stripped out and the climax completely missing. I'm astounded by the fact that it won major awards. I nearly pissed myself laughing when EOD guys suddenly became expert snipers. And that Bigelow let that scene keep going even after they had killed the terrorists? Amateurish! And poor Jeremy Renner being the tortured grunt, the weekend warrior adrenaline junkie who's in over his head but can't stop. Please... Not to say the movie didn't have its redeeming qualities. As a too serious and cliched action film it was okay, but it was amazingly hamfisted. I'm also appreciative of the fact that Bigelow is the only director in Hollywood, especially during the Bush Administration, who made a movie about American soldiers that didn't take a giant dump all over them. That's setting the bar kinda low, mind you, but for Hollyweird that's real progress! As for Zero Dark Thirty, sure, I'll see it. Killing Bin Laden? That's a feel good story if I ever heard it. But I'm not expecting great filmmaking just because a bunch of gutless critics are too timid to say anything against the Oscar winner.

by AntonStark
it used to be a cool place to chat with fellow movie lovers about movies. when you grow up and work for a living you might learn to appreciate that.
Lots of potential here for "America Rah Rah Rah!" nonsense. But Hurt Locker had that potential too, and whilst I don't think it was the fantastically great film everyone else seemed to think it was, it also clearly wasn't a US Military puff piece. I'm hopeful of good things... not expectant, but hopeful.
Don't get me wrong, it was a good movie. But Oscar worthy? Nah.
defuse bomb. defuse bomb. hide from sniper. defuse bomb. convoluted 'going rogue' Hollywood BS. defuse bomb. The end. Yeah, it's SUUUCH a better told story than Avatar.

....and instead it was the most ridiculously unrealistic war movie ever made.

jsfifthaca: "what should of won best picture? avatar? please."
by Paul Hanlin Jr
Yes, Avatar should've won. A scandalous, reckless decision by the Academy. But these are the same folks who voted How Green Was My Valley as Best Picture of 1941 than the greatest American movie of all time, Citizen Kane.
...and after you see it, you'll know the name and what it stands for.
A Best Picture winner should be the one that moves the industry forward. AVATAR accomplished a lot of things from a filmmaking perspective. HURT LOCKER may have had the female director-thing going for it, but outside of that, looking at it objectively as a stand-alone film....I never saw what the BFD was.

Does it take place in 2002? Is the main character kidney failure?

You gotta admit Margot that a well-played inside joke (ala J-Dub) is can rival the good clean fun of the old peanut-brittle-can-filled-with-spring-loaded-worms gag.

By that reasoning, Tron should have won in 1983. Actually, I would have been cool with that. Tron is a vastly more important movie than Gandhi.

Someone drank the Kool-Aid on that one. Or started passing it out...
Old-fashioned bizarro action sci-fi.
I thought it was excellent, but I accept that the sniper scene in the middle is a real oddity and doesn't make any logical sense at all. The ending was perfect, though.
Dec. 8, 2012, 10:35 p.m. CST
It's just been too long since your last play, Margot.
by ChaunceyGardiner
TRON was dismissed in certain circles because they thought the filmmakers "cheated" by using computers. The old-school mindset they had back then is the only reason the film wasn't treated better. All things considered, TRON did move the industry forward in a lot of ways.
Loved them in Lawless.
Dec. 8, 2012, 11:04 p.m. CST
I think it important to note that the list that relegates "John Carter of Mars" to the annals of worst of happens to come from an Entertainment Weekly reviewer.

Cameron is going to kill a bum and stomp kittens...
A Serious Man Up Inglorious Basterds The Fantastic Mr. Fox Coraline 500 days of Summer Moon A Single Man Informant The White Ribbon Just to name a few.
How did they even end up in the same Academy Awards? For what it's worth, "Slumdog Millionaire" was the best movie of 2008 and "Inglourious Basterds" the best of 2009. "Zero Dark Thirty" looks like the only remaining film this year that could knock "The Master" from the top of my 2012 list.
Dec. 8, 2012, 11:30 p.m. CST
"The Hurt Locker" was WAY better than "Crash." Stop this silly worst Best Picture ever nonsense.
by notcher
Avatar was okay, but it's technical aspects outshined the moderately told story we've seen time and time again. The Avengers and TDKR were really fun, but not Oscar worthy. Lincoln was solid until Spielberg fucked the ending up (Shocker). Right now, I don't know what the best film is. I'm looking forward to ZD30 and Django Unchained.
I like the cut of your jib. Your best movies of 2009 closely mirror mine. I have "The Secret in Their Eyes," "A Prophet" and "Up in the Air" on my list, though.
Dec. 8, 2012, 11:33 p.m. CST
Oh, and how many of the talkbackers on here who are ripping on "Zero Dark 30" have actually seen it?

Yeah, shut the fuck up until you have then.

"zero dark thirty" just means "really late at night" in military lingo.

I am in the navy, and that's the answer you would give when someone asked what time your watch was, if it was late at night. Google says it means "30 minutes past midnight", but we used it for ANY time late at night.

My personal favorite this year is "Beasts" although I'm awfully excited about this as well.
by RedJester
The other ones, not so sure. 500 DAYS OF SUMMER? Really, you think that was better than THE HURT LOCKER? One movie I thought was vastly better than THL was A PROPHET. Now that's a movie that deserved Best Picture.
Dec. 9, 2012, 12:44 a.m. CST
Does this film acknowledge the fact that the U.S. killed lots of Osama's people and that he wanted revenge for the U.S.'s corruption...
by Xen11
add to the fact that Osama was also a religious nutjob. So basically you have a religious nutjob who would die for his invisible religion but he also has every right reason in the world to attack the corrupt United States. Cut to the corrupt United States government and hiring this guy, who has every reason in the world to attack the U.S. out of revenge, to take the fall for an operation to upstart billions (if not trillions) to the redneck brigade of america. Pay the religious nutjob a fuckload of money to take the blame and he'll get all the protection he needs while they lead the pawn soldiers around looking for him, while they hide him so they can get even more funding to make their families even fatter and high above the drowning majority of citizen that follow their whims because they are stupid as fuck thanks to religion and media. If this movie acknowledges those facts, I might be interested. Besides that, the only curiosity I have for it is the fact that this is a production of Megan Ellison who will be producing Terminator 5 and 6 of which I hope she doesn't fuck up. But if this is more patriotic bullshit like Battle L.A. (except you replace the alien "terrorists" with "foreign" "terrorists"), then fuck that.
Given it took us 10 years to find him.
you dropped your tinfoil hat.
We finally get to see the movie made with classified information that a Navy Seal who was actually there might go to jail over because he wrote a book. Count me out. They delayed the release of this until after the election. They realized that it was total advertising.
LOL, no, not Avatar. That movie was just atrocious and should never have been nominated but for the aforementioned Academy politics at play. Speaking of Academy politics, award winners never win for what was nominated, but for previous efforts. For example, Ron Howard didn't win for A Beautiful Mind because it was that good, he won for Apollo 13 (and because Ron Howard is respected in the business). That's basically how it usually goes. You'll guess the Best Director and Best Picture winners about 80% of the time if you can figure out whose turn it is. So if you're asking me who should have won based on film quality? I dunno, I only saw six of that year's nominees and of those six Up was the best (I mean, that first five minutes alone...). I had figured Tarantino had it locked up because he was robbed when Pulp Fiction lost to Forrest Gump. Instead the Academy got some wild hair up its ass and gave it to the Kathryn Bigelow not because her movie was that good but because she's a woman. The Academy usually blows it for terrible reasons but that year they set a new mark in lame.
Because the more succesful it is the more Xen11 will cry. For that reason alone it should be given all the awards.
Zero is definitely getting a a look in though.
I was really surprised to see it nominated. Love it or hate it, when film historians look back at 2009 the only film they'll be talking about is Avatar.

Someone who has never been proven to have been behind 9/11 was killed by a bunch of roid head navy seals and because I'm not happy i'm a 'fuck tard? Seriously? Sad
I thought Hurt Locker was mostly garbage, beautifully shot garbage. I miss when movies about wars were actually intelligent like Deerhunter and not lukewarm commentaries on how 'the war is never over even when you go home'. What a bunch of half-baked bullshit
Dec. 9, 2012, 2:27 a.m. CST
the most compelling aspect of Zero Dark Thirty is it shows correctly that Obama never stopped US torture and is essentially a redux of Bush's worst policies

Dec. 9, 2012, 2:58 a.m. CST
I think how I felt about Hurt Locker at the time was hugely affected by the other nominated films that year, and in particular, Avatar
by Jaka
Avatar, The Blind Side, District 9, An Education, Inglorious Basterds, Precious, A Serious Man, Up, Up In The Air and The Hurt Locker <p> That's a pretty heavy batch of films, most of which I at least liked. Several of them are favorites that I've watched many times over. Precious missed me a bit and the Hurt Locker, at the time, didn't find me at all. <p> But when Avatar broke every box office record, and then the Cameron/Bigelow connection was brought to light, along with the never ending "King of the World" speech backlash, for me, those bits, along with the "we need a women directing winner" (which I believe is partially true) made it no surprise to me when she won. I kind of saw it coming. She's a solid director, for sure. But I don't think she was deserving of the award. Not then, and not now. <p> Did I think the movie was deserving of a win? Hell no! I thought Avatar, The Blind Side, District 9, Inglorious Basterds, Up and even Up In The Air, were more deserving, and it pissed me off something fierce at the time! <p> Now, a couple years later, having been able to watch the film without any of that baggage attached, I do really like it. But I still don't think, even a little bit, that what Bigelow did was more deserving of a Directing Oscar than James Cameron. And as a film it will never measure up to my favorites from that year.
Fuck if I know. I haven't seen it yet. I know it's getting a load of hype and praise heaped upon it during "award season", so it seems likely "people" are going to tell us it is, even if we don't agree.
Good God, that was an awful film. It was like an extended episode of CSI:Miami. One ridiculous and hideously overacted crisis after another. Sheer junk, poor in all respects - writing, direction, acting, filming. One of the most baffling bits of 'critical acclaim' I've ever seen.
Because horseshit is a useful and beneficial thing that has many practical uses. Hurt Locker, on the other hand, has no reason whatsoever to exist. It brings nothing of value to the universe.
Am I missing something?
There is no conspiracy with the death of Bin Laden, and Hurt Locker wasn't melodramatic. I agree District 9 should have won, but it was never going to.
a technoligally advanced war mongering super power taking a decade to hunt and shoot in the back essentially a goat herder, costing billions upon billions of dollars?
Get the fuck out of here. JC was a lot of fun and i really enjoyed it. There a tone of movie out there that are a lot worse then JC. Like Alex Cross/ Resident Evil: Retribution/Underworld: Awakening and the list goes on. And the other day i saw times list of best and worst movies and Cloud Atlas was there pic for worst movie of the year. Are you fucking kidding me...
Hurt Locker was ok... except for Renner's baffling solo mission into enemy territory.
...provided it is entered in the American Jack Off Fantasy section. Good that it has become a film though because this True Story always read like a script (maybe because it was).
It's good.
That movie just makes me think of this guy Bobby I knew from work who would call women's asses *Fart Lockers*. So I just think *The Fart Locker* starring Jeremy Renner who looks like a lesbian gym teacher.
Dec. 9, 2012, 6 a.m. CST
I don't believe that the film was made itself as propaganda (i could be wrong) but i do believe that many people and factions will attempt to hijack the film as their own...for their own propaganda.
by Sean
Anyway, i still think 9/11 was an inside job...perhaps with Osama as a patsy...or involved in some way anyway. Look over there!! There's a kitty! (runs away from controversy)
Not true. THL has one really good use of slow-mo. ZD30 will get props because most people want to see Ozzy B get shot in the head. Hopefully in slow-mo.
Dec. 9, 2012, 6:04 a.m. CST
Speaking as a cynical piss taking brit, Zero Dark Thirty looks like the best movie about terrorism since Team America. I wish I was a patriotic yank just so I could enjoy this slice of flag waving propoganda.
by Bradly Durant
...I hope Bigelow maintains this throughout.
Let's get in there and kill some "evil towelheads" no matter who gets in the way cause they have some fossil fuels we need to rape them for. Then a family member of one of the thousands that have been killed in the "crossfire" seeks revenge and manages to kill a few hundred on our land. Then we get in there for "revenge" while securing those oh so precious fossil fuels we are still raping them for, and kill thousands more in the "crossfire" cause we are seeking "revenge" cause we have been oh so wronged. The user above, Righteousbrother, said it best, "Isn't Zero Dark Thirty about a technologically advanced war mongering super power taking a decade to hunt and shoot in the back essentially a goat herder, costing billions upon billions of dollars?" That's a perfect quote and should be used on the fucking cover for the film and on the poster. It's two religious nuts seeking revenge on each other, but the U.S. (Christianity) drew first blood and did it for profit (because that's what a Conservative/Republican is all about) no matter who dies in the process. And yes, I do believe that 9/11 was an inside job. Absolutely. The more and more I investigate, the more I realize it. It's pretty much a proven fact that many refuse to accept. Bush and Cheney are war criminals; there is absolutely no question about it. Yet, many people buy into the bullshit of we are the good guys. We fucking started it. We brought this on ourselves. No one deserves to die, I wish death on no one. But the American people support their corrupt government and ignore the billions of innocents killed by our bullying ways. It's not that I think that the "other side" should prevail; its just that we do things to appear "good" like "bringing peace to the Middle East" which is complete bullshit. It's just a facade to procure profits and reign control while paying off these guys like Osama to do our dirty work and be our fall guy if we ever need one. I get the feeling this film will be like United 93. I know that film tried to act like it was being fair by trying to portray the terrorist highjackers as just average joes doing what they felt was right by what their government/masters told them. But that film just felt like American propaganda trying to pull on the heartstrings of Americans by dramatizing the tragedy of innocent bystanders on that plane. It is sad. But to hear people's reactions to seeing that film just baffles me. " I felt the anger of wanting to get back at them so badly." That's the kind of stuff I would hear from people. It just got them hyped up to kill. It's like they refuse to see the irony that they have become like the highjackers on that flight: doing what they are told to do by their government with the promise that they are serving their higher purpose and will be met with heavenly rewards and honor.

If this film has any good message and is not propaganda; 'Zero Dark Thirty' is subtextually meaning
by Xen11
way overdue or too late to matter. It's way past midnight and we have wasted the whole day and whole lives. I don't see how this is a victory in any sort of way. You have just created hundreds of thousands more like Osama in the process of hunting Osama; a process which you started to gain money.
....when no one has seen Django Unchained yet, but of course the whole thing is political and means next to nothing, only to douchy luddites who always bring up a films oscar win as if it means something.
So if Django won best picture, it wouldn't mean anything?
Like it was ok, but it wasn't great or anything.

It's just an eye roll whatever Zero Dark Thirty being called the best film.
by Charlie
It may be a good film, I don't doubt it's probably very exciting. However it just seems a wank that american critics are saying it's the best film of the year. It may well be the best film, but you read this and you can't help but roll your eyes. You simply just go, yeah of course they picked the film about killing bin laden. Whatever. It's also similar with Lincoln. I'm sure a good film but it's just like, yeah whatever. You just won't believe it until you see it and decide. Seems like an obvious film with definite reasons it'll appeal to critics above it's actual quality. I've read many negative comments on Lincoln. Especially at it being boring and drawn out with a million speeches. Lets add Holocaust films to this. Every time you see a holocaust film get praised, you do roll your eyes because you feel it's the subject matter people are championing first are foremost. While there's plenty of good films, great films on such things. There's also plenty of ones which aren't. Certain films and subject matter you just can't take seriously when they get praised. You don't feel you can trust it. It's not to say any of these films are bad, but they just automatically set off your, "i won't believe it's good unless I see it and decide it's good."
It doesn't take more than a Google search to check the facts, what a laugh. I am willing to separate the movie aspect from the truth usually but it angers me that the public reaction will be this is how it went down. They wouldn't show the body for fear of a backlash, but they will allow a movie to be created just over a year later, this is seriously contradictory. Anyways, according to the Senior State Department the war of terror has been over since April. Most of the world and some high intelligence people in the US have said that Obama died in 2001, it does take more than a Google search to find that out, Google who by the very nature of their searches censor.
Awesome movie and a huge step up from Hurt Locker. I've seen it twice.
Dec. 9, 2012, 8:19 a.m. CST
Also wanted to mention that the subtext of the title 'Zero Dark Thirty'
by Xen11
could and should mean 'under the cover of night' as in a cover-up that is long past due. Overdue resolution to a staged propaganda story.
In my country EOD carry Barrets to shoot at ordinance. Also i'm pretty sure many of the people in EOD has a background from other military roles.
It's not.
How come we have like two or three weeks left in the 2012 movie season, we still have big films like Les Miserables and The Hobbit waiting in the wings, and we have film critic circles giving a film like Zero Dark Thirty praise and accolades and assurances of Best Picture awards, and hardly anyone has yet to see it? Not even Roger Ebert has seen it yet! The film is not scheduled for widescreen distribution until like January! Yet we have the New York Film Critics Circle and The National Film Review Board practically having orgasms over this film, and again, hardly anyone has seen it! It's like these two critic outlets have just said F-U! to Les Miserables and The Hobbit, and not even given them so much as a fighting chance for consideration! And what is Zero Dark Thirty other than a POLITICALLY MOTIVATED FILM, and one that brings up a rather bad series of painful memories that also happens to come with a $10 per movie ticket price tag! Why the hurry to heap so much uber-praise on this film? Wait until the season is over, when we have all seen all there is to offer in it, THEN have the New York Film Critics Circle and the National Review Board issue their pronouncements? At least we will then know the process is a fair one! AND THAT MEANS WAIT UNTIL EBERT HAS SEEN THE DAMNED THING FIRST!

Is it better than Act of Valor? That was funded by the Pentagon, you know.
Before this movie just slipped my mind but now I'm really excited
TDKR tied with Hunger Games and just above Pitch Perfect? Who writes that list? Ben Lyons??

Someone tell me this isn't best picture for the same reason An Inconvenient Truth was...
by Rob
Sorry for being cynical, but it seems to me that any movie that comes out that promotes a liberal cause (i.e. man made global warming, religion) or paints Bush/Republicans in a negative light immediately becomes a best picture nominee. Not saying this isn't worthy - I haven't seen it - but I have come to expect this from Hollywood and the media. I am imagining that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et. al. are portrayed in this as morally worse than the terrorists. Tell me I am wrong. I do want to see this movie, I just have a feeling that the liberal press is salivating over this for the wrong reasons, which means another fim more worthy will get dusted because of politics.
you are a malodorous twat, and you will die alone!
but I love Top 10 lists, and love that everyone has different movies up in there (up in there, up in there!)
I loved The Hurt Locker. I thought it was great and that it deserved the awards it won. I also thought Avatar was crap. Special effects yeah...blah blah blah....but everything else in that movie was terrible. I'm looking forward to Zero Dark Thirty. Bigtime. And you conspiracy theorists, like xen11, are total nutjobs.

by Wcwlkr
I mean seriously the way people talked about it I thought it was Ecks vs. Sever but it was are pretty good movie. I enjoyed it a lot actually, it's a shame because I would've liked to see a sequel. I'd hardly call it the worst movie of the year.
I mean when it won I was just glad something other than Avatar won. But when I actually saw the Hurt Locker I thought it was ok. I mean it definitely wasn't better than District 9 which I had saw before the Oscars. I still just think the Oscars are typically way off base. It's akin the the Grammies to me at this point. It's all pretension and high class snobbery. Never truly honoring truly bold exceptional film.

Just one the most expensive. People liked to get wrapped up in all that shit instead of just sitting down and enjoying the fucking film these days it seems.

Avatar, as a script, didn't even hold together. Why is anyone even namedropping it?
by Baked
If you think Hurt Locker didn't deserve to win, then fine. But at least make a better argument than that technicolor geek wankfest Avatar. You've got Up, Up In The Air, Inglourious Basterds, Precious... Avatar was a handful of nut after years of James Cameron beating off to half-conceived political bullshit Mighty Whitey tropes (which is also why I ignore District 9, same shit different location). The Hurt Locker was intense and it had something to say. Avatar was visually dense but said jack shit. It won Best Cinematography (which was STILL a huge fucking stretch), so take your also-ran and go off into the darkness of history because no one cares.

People on this site need to be educated on the FACTS.
by Michael Morning
Osama had nothing at all to do with 9/11. Shortly after the event, he was interviewed and said he had nothing to do with it (which was ridiculous on its face; it was a successful terrorist attack; he should have been jumping to take credit for it). </p><p> Further, he was terminally ill and died just a few months later. The videos of him since then have been widely exposed as fakes, making ZERO DARK THIRTY a fictional propaganda. Don't believe it? Read this in-depth article on the issue: http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2012/11/26/the-osama-bin-laden-myth-2/</p><p> Seriously, don't think you know it all just because you listen to the news. READ the above article. Americans have been lied to for more than a decade!
I agree with you and to add to your elucidation of The People, the FBI weren't even after Osama Bin Laden for the events now known as 9/11 because, in their own words, there wasn't enough evidence to indicate that he was behind it (he was on their Top Ten Most Wanted list but not for 9/11). Don't believe me, Oh American Patriots?; then ask questions of your own Federal Organisations.

Has a much higher asshole-count than usual. What a shocker. Because you're all congenitally cynicial Brits, expert filmmakers and political/military geniuses. Don't go see the movie if you don't want to and shut the fuck up.
You stupid fucking idiot. THE CRITICS SEE THE MOVIES BEFORE WE DO...THAT'S HOW THEY KNOW WHAT THEY THINK IS BEST. Get it? Jesus, get a brain.
Im in the Uk and to me this seems like a shite movie based mostly on fiction. It should have been made by anyone but an American, you fuckers can't stay impartial about this shit
Have you seen it?? No, you haven't. So how the fuck do you know what it is or isn't?? You don't. Seriously, where do all you dickheads come from?
Get your tinfoil hats here! You can't tell a Bin Laden from an MK Ultra mind control device without a tinfoil hat!
Les Mis and Avengers above Life of Pi....really??!
Thanks for proving my point for me. You Brits are so fucking hypocritical. You are the most nationalistic people - you just spent a whole fucking year high on the smell of your Queen's farts and woo-hoo, I'm so (sob) proud to be fucking British - and yet, it's always attack Americans, attack Americans...even if it's a fucking film you haven't even fucking seen. You are such dicks. If you hate Americans so much, then don't come to this American website you fucking limey douchebag.

Rebek2 I haven't posted in years but I wanted to say the Brits are mostly good people that like Americans. They are the only one's that stand by us even when we're wrong. They have an immigration problem with people who don't appreciate the bond the countries have. Prime666 is a troll that does not represent all of the Brits.
LOL. And the beat goes on... Unbelievable. I'm actually looking forward to Les Mis, it looks great. You do know it's about the French revolution, right? Despite the accents. And you do know it was made by an American studio? And stars two Aussie actors, two American actresses and, yes, one very cute very talented new Brit actress (Samantha Barks). Hardly a British film. Neither is SKYFALL, even though it continued the "British Orgy" of the last year...it's still made by a US studio, produced by US producers, etc. I'm also one of those Bond fans who thinks it's fucking terrible. But hey, nice trolling.

Bet on incompetence. I totally get where the conspiracy theorists are coming from. Unfortunately a planet ran by fuckups looks very similar to a world ran by a wast conspiracy.
You're right, of course. I'm just just tired of the ones who seemingly spend half their time on the web attacking us.
Dec. 9, 2012, 3:52 p.m. CST
seriously, trolling aside, my fav flicks, minus those haven't seen yet are....
by iluvsyfy
1. Skyfall 2. Life of Pi 3. Lincoln (minus the end, which should have been DDL disappearing down the stairs, not that slock one). 4. Argo 5. Moonrise Kingdom 6. Looper 7. Jedge Dredd (yes, it was that good) this leaves room for 3 others, some still to watch like The Master, or yet to release. So this list could and will change.
THE KINGS SPEECH did just fine here in the colonies. The ship sails both ways, mate.
It was called "Team America World Police". Made the point that sometimes the pursuit of justice is more destructive than the crime itself. Always count on Matt and Trey to cut through the bullshit and hypocrisy and get to the heart of the matter.... and they entertain the shit out of you while doing it too. Where are their Oscar Noms?
I agree. The George W. Bush administration was the most inept I have ever seen. We're supposed to believe that this group of dyspraxic fuck-ups could organize the biggest conspiracy in human history, and pull it off perfectly? Pff. No fucking way. The furthest I'll go is in entertaining a policy of intentional neglect, i.e. not caring too much about countering potential terror plots but standing ready to capitalize on any such plots being executed.
You are the most nationalistic people
Good job I now copy everything before I post. Try again: The claim that the Brits are the most nationalistic people is not true. The Brits have a very weird relationship with patriotism. They are nowhere near as patriotic as the Americans. Most traces of mindless jingoism were blasted to pieces on the expanses of the Somme, and nationalism in the UK has been much more nuanced and fractured since then. Sure, there are times when the flags come out, for big sporting events and the like. Partially that's a release, though, because of the aforementioned wariness. In the UK, if people see someone flying a union flag outside their house they assume they're a right-wing nutcase. Half the country likes the tradition of the royal family, the other half thinks they're a pack of anachronistic wasters. There is also a strange relationship with the Americans: a simultaneous superiority/inferiority complex. The Brits by and large like Americans and American culture, but also enjoy slagging them off as being insular and slightly unhinged. But some of that is a defence mechanism coming from a position of self-acknowledged inferiority with respect to economic, military and political power. Everyone in the UK knows that its days as a first rank power have gone. But most of them are okay with that. Curiously, given the history of the Revolutionary War and all that, the Brits are far less deferential to authority and power than the Americans are. There is also less *fear* of authority than there is in the US, especially when it comes to the police. And the Brits are more cynical about the governing classes, or have been historically, although the US is now moving into new territory with its extreme Red versus Blue culture wars.
If he had been dead since 2001, why didn't the Bush administration pull the "Oh, we found him and killed him" trick much earlier? I must admit I found it weird that they didn't present the body or any other evidence when the SEAL raid happened. Playing into the hands of conspiracy theorists. No such qualms about e.g. Saddam Hussein's sons.
You're writing as though AICN is a website built for Americans, and that everyone else is a guest. That is, of course, bullshit. More generally, when you read something written by e.g. a French guy who says, "We hate the Americans", it is unwise to assume that this guy speaks on behalf of the whole of France, and it is even less wise to write a response that says something along the lines of 'Well, the French fucking suck anyway', because then you're likely to end up boosting the likelihood of the scenario that this one French guy pretended was the truth becoming a reality.
This was done and not most likely not known to all- to use this situation and person for political gain. Reveal his death and the most opportune time. Have a look and see when another video appeared, there was also ways some other scandal going on that needed the public's gaze to look another way. The picture we all saw with Bin Laden, H Clinton and others with their hands over their mouths has been proven to be a fake. Bin Laden was not tied to 9/11 through lack of evidence, the stars that were aligned to caused those planes to have maximum effect OBL could not have done. Did he cause NORAD to stand down for the first time since the 2nd World War? Did he have the power to cause drills that were exactly like reality at the same time causing panic and confusion amongst honest people in air traffic control? Is this real or is this a drill?
Sorry bud if I hurt your widdle feelings but your wrong, i dont have a patriotic bone in my body. Most brits are degenerates, I say most not all. Like most people have said on here, this movie seems to follow the medias "facts" and for all we know that might be the actual facts but we will never know and the evidence that exists seems to say otherwise. Im not sure the rest of the world will get as much of a kick out of this as the Americans. Hurt Locker was shite, just thought i'd put that in
John Carter worst of the year? Fuck off. I dislike the hate Zero Dark Thirty is getting from teens(I hope it's teens) on this site. Maybe wait and see it before you dismiss it as being over rated. Also stop with The Hurt Locker bull shit. If Avatar won the award you guys would be saying shit like "If Avatar can win than anything can" or some other negative shit. So stop it.
...its propaganda for hate and killing. Try this exercise: Imagine if Al-qaeda somehow had the ways and means to create a large scale movie detailing how they pulled off the 9/11 attacks. Every group and person involved in the large operation is given their due and are romanticized. It all climax's with a very well performed and shot depiction of people dying on the planes, in the buildings, etc. The movie is then dedicated to the hijackers and other Al-Qaeda members. Hate breeds hate.

The fact Huff Post ties The Dark Knight Rises with Hunger Games shows how much of a piece of shit site it is... seriously.
by SunTzu77
...a more apt title would be: ZERO DARK THIRTY: The Story of How the most Badass Intelligence Agency Took Eleven Years to Find a Guy in a Mansion
Zero Dark Thirty and Lincoln? Two incredibly over-rated films. Argo, Killing Them Softly, The Dark Knight Rises, Looper, Lawless, and Django Unchained are at the top of my list. As far as comedy... Ted and 21 Jump Street.
2 things, assclown! 1) I am expressing my own personal opinion, which the last time I checked is my right. 2) I don't appreciate personal attacks on myself for expressing my own personal opinion. Keep your trash talk bullshit to yourself, because I assure you, I am older than you, I am bigger than you, and I don't put up with shit from no one! You understand me, fanboy?
Until the final reel, which was Hollywood hokum.
Fair point, but who drew first blood?

by Hey_Kobe_Tell_Me_How_My_Ass_Tastes
I never generalized about all of Britain, only the Brits who love to come on to sites like AICN and get their "inferiority/superiority" complex off their chest by attacking all things American. As you yourself admit, it is deeply ironic - but yes, I take offense at it, and most Americans here do. And I'm a blue state liberal fucker, not some flag-waving guy. I'm just fucking tired of the same old bullshit over and over. It was okay when W was fucking everything up, but I actually have some pride in my country again. And don't pretend you guys are not jingoistic in your own way, because you are. Like I said, you have basically spent one whole year loving yourself up and down in a masturbatory frenzy of patriotism. When you do it, it's all okay. Tears-in-eyes pride. But god forbid anyone else is proud of or just defends their country - especially not us Americans, who are suspect at all times. It's tired, dude. And if I was on the Empire forum, you would be the first one to tell me I was a "guest" and go away if I didn't like Brits. I appreciate a lot of the honesty in your response, but there's also a hypocrisy there - you basically feel you have a license (or licence) to, uhm, yank our chain whenever it gives you a kick and we should just like it. Sorry.
You, like many others here, seem to have difficulty with the very simple fact that these review boards have SEEN. ALL. THE. MOVIES. even the ones that...wait for it...have not opened in the theatres. Got it?

Inglorious basterds should've won best film instead of hurt locker
by shaft478
There's a huge difference between assinaiting an enemy and targeting civilain centers. Now if we we're making a film glorifing the firebombing of dresden. You try to hard to create an equivalence.
I think we have just been conditioned to feel that everything about America sucks and if we do something cool it was either a ripoff or on accident. It's just cool to hate the U.S.
Well, I'm a naturalized Canadian, and I've also lived in the US, so I don't really care that much about who gets to feel the most special about their country. But in my experience there is much greater patriotism in the US - true, non-ironic patriotism. A belief in the mother country as the best, or at least as something to be admired and loved. I certainly don't agree that there is much jingoism in the UK anymore (although admittedly I haven't lived there for a long time). Jingoism was the driving force of the Victorian era. Jingoism is a belief that your country knows best, and that what's best for your country is either best for the world or supersedes the needs of the rest of the world. Did Britain used to be that way? Yes, absolutely. Probably up to and including the 1930s. The US has very much taken over that mindset. That isn't to say that all Americans are jingoistic, by any means (they aren't), but I would say that the jingoistic people I meet tend to be American. Only a jingoist would chant 'WE'RE NUMBER ONE!' Only one western nation engages in aggressive foreign policy, a touchstone of jingoism. Only one nation has substantial numbers of people who decry other non-interventionist countries as 'pussies' and 'fags'. I mean, it's probably also the case that only one nation is now in any *position* to do these things; it isn't some moral failing of the American people, contrasted with the saintly behaviour of everyone else. I get the impression from my friends and relatives that the UK, taken en masse, regarded 2012 as a chance to have some fun after the misery of the last few years (and a growing feeling that the UK's economic renaissance in the 90s and 00s may have been somewhat illusory). I don't think there's some new nationalistic fervour breaking out there.
But the same thing was true of James Cameron when he won.

So much for the talkbacker un ity found in the Jack Reacher boards...we are at war with each other again. Sigh.
by Sean
Despite my theories on the worst of the military industrial complex and inside jobs and propaganda...I am intrigued by Zero Dark Thirty...because as strange as it is, despite being a liberal pacifist, i am fascinated by special forces, combat, etc. Putting aside what i think happened in real life, I would feel OK (kind of) seeing this movie if it is a plain docudrama type, objective, intel is found, SEALs go in to find Bin Laden, kill him...that's that. If i go in and there is the slightest shred of patriotism or jingoism (probably) then i'd be asking for my money back...and that would be a first as i saw The Expendables 2, walking out of the cinema bowlegged and molested...without as much as a complaint. So in this case, i will probably wait till video. And fuck this best film of the year nonsense. That is precisely what it is...nonsense. It is all art that we subjectively love or hate. ESPECIALLY for something that the general public haven't even seen yet. Good cast though.
Habeus Corpus United States Government. This film is total garbage.
Fuck this movie and fuck the Hurt Locker...
Maybe QT ought to step it up a few notches instead of recycling old ideas.
Waste your time on this bullshit instead of paying attention to the real shit that is going down, like absurd wealth inequality and environmental cataclysm in the making... That will help..
It'll just depend on what the Academy voters overall think is a better 'story'.
No interest in another over rated waste of time.

Speaking of awards... this talkback deserves to be considered for one of the year's best
by Tom Yorke
FUCKING EPIC. Glad to see that the criminally overrated, vapid, cliched piece of melodramatic horseshit, The Hurt Locker, is still getting shat upon. That along with the insufferable Crash, still hold the distinction of Worst Oscar Decision of All Time. And again, to the fuckwits trying to rag on Avatar for *story problems* or lack of *character development* or *weak performances*.... what the FUCK did you think the Hurt Locker was?? SAME SHIT. Just FAR more serious and up its own arse than avatar was (which knew fucking exactly what it was - a visually stunning - and game changing - piece of popcorn blockbuster bliss). And despite the derivative story and character work, that aspect was STILL fucking better than the horrid script and direction/performances of THL. Not to mention owning that piece of shit in terms of visuals, cinematography, innovation/imagination, score, etc. And Hurt Locker was even derided by actual MILITARY PERSONNEL as being utter bullshit. FUCK, you people will never learn... but again, these twats seem to be in the minority so it's all good. Additionally, i'm stoked to see the defense for the baffling negative response that John Carter has suffered. Sweet baby Jeebus, that is the most unfairly maligned film since fucking Speed Racer. (Another film i saw expecting to completely shit all over - yet came away pleasantly surprised). I just saw John Carter last week (as the trailers and critical reaction completely turned me off to it). I don't get the hate. JC's lead actor was a helluva lot better than i expected as was *the chick* (who was HOT AS FUCK on top of it). The CG was much more impressive than i was expecting based on the underwhelming trailers. Sure, the story wasn't anything particularly innovative or original (despite the fact that it's source material WAS one of the original stories that used the joseph campbell-esque plot/thematic structure). The music, by the always on-point Michael Giacchino was pretty great as well. WTF movie did these critics see? The tone alone was admirable. No pretense, had a good sense of humor, along with pretty good action choreography from a first time feature film director. Had some style and a nice energy to it. I mean, shit, didn't it get fucked in the ass enough from the box office? FUCK the critics. These are the same shitnozzles that awarded Crash, Million Dollar Baby, Hurt Locker, and King's Speech, etc. so what the fuck do you expect. And lastly, i too am shocked at the absolute lack of anything AVENGERS anywhere on anyone's lists. If fuckin' Titanic and Return of the King can take home oscars, WHERE THE FUCK IS THE AVENGERS? Great film. Whedon knocked it out of the park. I honestly went in expecting to be disappointed based on the overwhelming critical response (that alone usually sets off my bullshit detector), and i now consider that to possibly be THE best comic book film of all time. And i've been extremely picky with that sub-genre. Hell, i even thought Iron Man was mediocre, and Thor and Cap sucked something pretty fierce. But Whedon did the unthinable, and took all these mediocre to shitty films/actors/characters, threw them into a pot and churned out something pretty damn spectacular. Fantasic script, visuals, and got everything he could out of those actors. And the SCALE of that flick. Holy shit, lots going on. THAT is what a fucking director does. He's getting completely snubbed with this. And heck, throw in TDKR as well. Which (not surprisingly) is getting shat upon by the mindless TDK cult. I was blown away by TDKR (saw it in the imax - that fucking SOUND SYSTEM). Was expecting something pretty mediocre featuring some of the same major issues that plagued the prior film, such as terrible dialogue, numerous, gaping plot holes, a heavily reliance on contrivancies, as well as being completely too serious, bloated, misguided, etc... and to my shock and amazement, it wasn't! Bane was fantastic. Bale has never been better as Bruce Wayne or the Bat. Loved the *old man/coming out of retirement* angle they went with. Had much better emotional and thematic resonance than TDK did. The plot was more lean and coherent than TDK and didn't suffer from a silly, poorly written love triangle or shitty 3rd act. Thought the action was better... better editing, better pacing... all around MUCH better film than the sickeningly overhyped TDK (which, without Ledger's performance would've been a trainwreck of a film). I seriously can't watch more than 3 minutes of that film at a time when i come across it on the tube, without rolling my eyes or laughing. FUCK that movie. Anywho, keep up the good work everybody! This talkback OFFICIALLY has Hail to the Thief's Seal of Approval.

No way Hurt Locker should have won oscar. I'm not falling for this.
by Clio
-They are going to give it to him because Hollywood loves "Cinderella" story. - I thought Hurt Locker was a really impressive picture but I was pulling for Up in the Air that year. - I liked Avatar. It was an advance in cinema but I still had big problems with the story. I thought it was a tad bit over rated. - Zero Dark thirty is probably going to be a very good film as far as the way it ties everything together. The raid won't be the high light of the picture. Everything leading up to it will. -I am very interested in what Chastain is going to give us since she is winning all these awards. I think she is the best new actress to come out in some time. She was amazing in the films she was in last year. She is pretty easy on the eyes too. - DDL was amazing as Lincoln but I don't want him winning. It is too predictable and easy. I really want Phoenix to take it home. - Hathaway is going to get supporting actress. She has shown she could do anything. I knew she was going to serve justice to Cat woman. - I think it is ridiculous and TROLL like that TIME chose Cloud Atlas as worst picture. I loved it, but i know it isn't everyone's cup of tea. Did they not see that piece of shit movie "Dark Shadows"?
Not a patch on TDK imo. TDK 8/10. TDKR 6/10.

The Oscars have been irrelevant for years now. Who gives a shit if ZD30 or any other film wins BP? You like the films you like, you don't like the ones you don't, and that is where the conversation ends.

And the idea of naming one film as "Best Picture of the Year" is the archetypal example of comparing apples to oranges. The Oscars isn't about rewarding merit or achievement, it's about publicity campaigns. There is more integrity in a game of musical

Sure, it's nice or fun to see a film you love win an Oscar for something. But it does nothing for you personally except maybe affirm your belief (or delusion) that you have "taste". In the final analysis, though, it's an empty accolade unless you're on
by jawsfan
5. Skyfall Much better effort than the lazy, pointless Quantum of Solace. Bardem was great as the creepy and efeminate villain. Craig was at his best, playing a similar role as Bale did in TDKR, and confident direction and style by the great Sam Mendes. Loved the look, the sound, everything technical. Liked the more intimate, emotional angle they went with here as opposed to the big, bombastic fluff we usually see in this franchise. Definitely had some issues in the last 15-20 minutes tho during the assault on the farm. Pretty lazy and illogical but for the most part, on the whole, the film was pretty excellent. 4. Ted Comedy of the year, hands down. Not that there was much competition in this category, but far and away, it was funnier and actually had more heart than your typical vulgar comedy. Seth Macfarlane really proved himself with this one. Great script, fine performances by Kunis and Whalberg (whom i usually can't stand). Great work with the CGI bear, and again, nice voice work by Seth. I quite liked the score as well. Underrated flick. 3. The Dark Knight Rises (see previous post) 2. The Avengers (see previous post) and number 1... the best film of the year (so far) is........ LOOPER Blew me away. Most importantly, it was far more emotionally engaging than i was expecting. It was darker and more complex than the trailers hinted at. It was also psychologically and philosophically engaging. And on top of all that, it was a great sci-fi/action film. The camera work was very impressive (Johnson's films always have a great look to them... beautiful cinematography). The performances were all outstanding, from the leads to the peripheral characters. Even the fucking kid was great. And i generally HATE children in films. The *chick* gave a nice performance as well. And that whole subplot with her and the Rainmaker was brilliant. Had no idea about any of that before i watched the film (remained shockingly unspoiled for this flick and i'm glad i was). There was a tangible style to the film, in terms of the shots, the editing, pacing, etc. This provided the film with a nice energy, momentum that seems to be absent in most films these days. I was excited to see that the screenplay was awarded by the National Board of Review as best original. Didn't see that coming, but well deserved. Rian Johnson has firmly established himself as one of the best, most exciting young film-makers in the biz today.
I haven't seen yet 5 zero dark thirty 4 this is 40 3 jack reacher 2 django unchained 1 the hobbitt
To see 9/11 Truth representing on here. PROPAGANDA. All the way. So proud to be amongst you intelligent talk backers.
All over the place, and the time travel logic didn't hold together, but it was entertaining.
Zero Dark Thirty is so damn bland and pandering. Sure, I'm glad we took out Osama. But, the pacing and story was just so vanilla. I would have rathered watched an adaptation of Fabián Escalante's The Cuba Project. Farewell was a better film that Zero Dark Thirty.
I may well be nuts(z) but that doesn't mean that I'm not stating the truth. Here are some quotes from you very own FBI when asked why Bin Laden's Most Wanted poster did not cite 9/11: Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI, when asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on Bin Laden's Most Wanted web page, said; The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden's Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11. When asked how that was possible Tomb continued: Bin Laden has not been formally charged in connection to 9/11. The FBI gathers evidence. Once evidence is gathered, it is turned over to the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice than decides whether it has enough evidence to present to a Federal Grand Jury. In the case of the 1998 United States Embassies being bombed, Bin Laden has been formally indicted and charged by a Grand Jury. He has not been formally indicted and charged in connection with 9/11 because the FBI has no hard evidence connected Bin Laden to 9/11. So there ya go: and here's Bin Ladens Mos Wanted page at the FBI website from 2006: Aliases: Usama Bin Muhammad Bin Ladin, Shaykh Usama Bin Ladin, The Prince, The Emir, Abu Abdallah, Mujahid Shaykh, Hajj, The Director DESCRIPTION Date(s) of Birth Used: 1957 Place of Birth: Saudi Arabia Height: 6' 4" to 6' 6" Weight: Approximately 160 pounds Build: Thin Hair: Brown Eyes: Brown Complexion: Olive Sex: Male Nationality: Saudi Arabian Language: Arabic (probably Pashtu) Scars and Marks: None known Remarks: Bin Laden is left-handed and walks with a cane. CAUTION Usama Bin Laden is wanted in connection with the August 7, 1998, bombings of the United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya. These attacks killed over 200 people. In addition, Bin Laden is a suspect in other terrorist attacks throughout the world. REWARD The Rewards For Justice Program, United States Department of State, is offering a reward of up to $25 million for information leading directly to the apprehension or conviction of Usama Bin Laden. An additional $2 million is being offered through a program developed and funded by the Airline Pilots Association and the Air Transport Association. SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ARMED AND DANGEROUS If you have any information concerning this person, please contact your local FBI office or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate. Field Office: New York Poster Classification: Most Wanted Terrorists So, yeah, nuts(z) I may well be but that don't stop the truth from being the truth.

Dark Knight Rises. I know it's 5am and I haven't slept but I'm honestly having trouble naming more good movies than these. Shit year. I'll see Miss Bigelow's film gratefully.
Cool poster. And I think Jessica Chastain is an actress that can turn very little into captivating as she did in Take Shelter and Tree of Life previously. I really have nothing else to judge the movie on. Hurt Locker was too scattered thematically and failed to sell me on its central premise "war is a drug." The final scenes in the supermarket didn't work at all for me.

Hurt Locker was overrated all to hell and back...

...but I think I could still swallow it's BP win if it didn't take best screenplay over Inglorious Basterds. I mean, are you fucking kidding me? <P> THL felt like an old school RPG where it's just random encounter, dialogue, random encounter, dialogue, rinse, repeat, end. <P> Seriously, the end of the movie is fucking three minutes of the main character telling the audience his feelings. How did that script not get laughed out of the office?
Dec. 10, 2012, 8:17 a.m. CST
Wouldn't it have been great if Osama hadn't denied attacking us right after it happened? Ya know? Like how in reality he said it looked like an inside job to him and how he would never attack innocents. Man I wish he hadn't actually said those things.

...when AVATAR is fucking our eyeballs in 2015?
But seriously, Hurt Locker was a tad overrated. I was expecting to have my eye sockets fucked and mind blown by all its praise. I watched it and thought, "It's good...I guess." Immediately forgettable.
you are being forcefed..dont fall for this drivel...this is how "propoganda" becomes fact and history.
...it is really apparent that this was a crappy year for movies. Sure, some great popcorn movies like Avengers, Skyfall and Cabin in the Woods...but Moonrise Kingdom is the lesser of all the Wes Anderson films and films like Lincoln and Cloud Atlas are just okay. Nice films, but not ones that I left the movie saying THATS THE BEST FILM OF THE YEAR! I've not seen Bigelow's film, but if that's the best we have to offer this year...it's a disappointing year.
thousands of lives lost, tens of thousands of innocents bombed and killed, but the US finally managed to find Osama Bin Laden... in his fucking house.

I could post double the "evidence" that Bigfoot exists in comparison to what you give us.

(Sigh), ok, bring on the internet fueled over the top inevitable bs explosion of "truths" that I'm too educated, er, I mean brainwashed to appreciate.
Never heard the expression "Zero-dark-thirty". It's "O-dark-thirty" and that's the letter "O" not the number zero. It's like what time are you getting up in the morning "O-600". Nobody fucking said "Zero-600" in all 8 years I was in the army. As soon as I saw that I thought "Can't even be bothered to get the fucking expression right".
89 minutes of the Bush team not being able to find Bin Laden followed by 1 minute of raid footage and a closeup of Obama saying TAKE THE SHOT
You stay classy sentience! I only have one question: KHAN or GARY MITCHEL?!?!?!?!
Avatar as best picture of the year? Avatar pushed the industry forward? Please... how are 3D tv sales going? The only way Avatar will continued to be talked about is if Cameron continues to shit out sequel after sequel. Hurt Lock may not be a great movie, but it blew away (see what I did there?) Avatar.

by Professor_Bedlam
They missed a trick there. Just think of the trailer and tagline: O-sama. O-bama. O-Dark-Thirty. Then Steve Guttenberg saying, "Let's rock".
It had some of the most tense scenes in recent cinema, and in between those scenes was some of the most inane scenes in recent cinema.

Lynn Collins should be Wonder Woman.
Not a single one of the four planes gave the quick "7500" radio code to indicate a hijacking in progress - confirmed by all air controllers that day. The CAP that usually patrols over Washington was mysteriously pulled more than 150 miles away from the capital just before AA 77 crashed into the pentagon - confirmed by air traffic controllers in DC and Maryland. The flight instructors at Arizona Aviation, where alleged AA 77 pilot Hani Hanjour trained, stated he was an incompetent pilot incapable of flying a single engine cessna by himself. They find it impossible to believe he could have flown that 757 into the Pentagon like that from the skills he demonstrated to them. The mayor of Shanksville as well as local emergency responders confirm that the wreckage of U93 was spread out over a radius of 6 miles. Completely inconsistent with the alleged crash. Leading evidence points to the plane actually being shot down by the Air Force. Local firefighters were quickly escorted off and kept away from the crash sites. Something atypical from any other crash.
supporting all their nutjob claims. Get your tinfoil hats! You can't tell a Reptilian Shape-Shifting Alien Overlord from a Antarctic Hollow-Earth Nazi without a tinfoil hat!
just where in this talkback I have I indicated that I believed in a conspiracy behind 9/11?. I've merely agreed with someone else here that it is unlikely that Bin Laden himself was behind the attack on the Twin Towers. I haven't argued that it wasn't 19 Arab hijackers, I haven't argued that the US Government itself was behind it, or the Israelis or anyone else for that matter. I've simply said that the FBI has stated that it had little hard evidence to show that Bin Laden had masterminded the attack and supplied you with written evidence from the FBI itself to back up that claim. Where is the conspiracy in that? What is the conspiracy that you claim I am espousing?.
ZERO desire to ever watch this
Best movie of the year is about a guy getting dumped in the ocean but that movie is Life of Pi, not this made for Hollywood crap.
you're a bit of a wanker, aren't you? This has nothing to do with what I believe (except, possibly, tangentially, in that I might not be pursuing this line of discussion otherwise), it has to do with what I wrote; which was simply plain fact. I merely quoted from the Federal organisation that was pursuing Bin Laden for his crimes; and supplied information taken directly from that Bureau's website to back the quote up. Now, if you are misconstruing fact with belief I suggest that it is you that is in denial.

I don't know..I think they've tried C.Williams everywhere along the line and don't ever seem to be happy with him?
The Bears currently have a competiton at LT between JaMarcus Webb and former 1st rounder Chris Williams. I listen to some Chicago sports radio and there seems to be at least a possibility the Bears will looking to ship out the loser of the battle. Neither are Pro Bowl caliber, but both would be huge upgrade at RT. Webb is a mountain and a mauler in the run game, and has improved in pass protection. Williams is the better pass blocker of the 2, and is more versatile as he can also play Guard(some think he should be a G instead of a T) but he's battle injuries a lot in Chicago.
It's possible they don't move either, but I think they would explore it for a decent offer, and they would likely move Williams before Webb because contract. If one becomes available, I hope the Jets take a serious look, and I think they know they have to still be exploring options at RT.
I don't know..I think they've tried C.Williams everywhere along the line and don't ever seem to be happy with him?
the st louis rams o-line did not allow any sacks last night either....
I'll take anything right now. I'm sick of feeling like 3 seconds is way is too much to ask for.
Yeah, but I think a lot of unhappiness is not all on level of play. I don't think his level of play has lived up to first round status, but he has been a servicable player I think that combined with his injury history, and a much cheaper option being a viable option for his position all adds up to the disappointment with him in that orginization.
It's a cliche, but sometimes a change of scenery is all a guy needs to turn it around.
Is it that easy to move from LT to RT ?
Granted its a BR
Chris Williams and J'Marcus Webb are battling for the Chicago Bears' starting left-tackle position, and the loser is going to be relegated to being the backup, swing-tackle option.
Neither Webb nor Williams is a desirable backup option, given how poorly they've performed as starting right tackles in the past.
Another article
I watch lots of Bears games, and in my opinion neither players stuggles at RT were in the same stratoshpere as Hunters. Both players were very young during their time at RT, and were going through some growing pains. I think both would be serious upgrades over Hunter. I think Webb will win the battle, but it's rumored that Mike Tice prefers Williams. Again, it's very possible neither go anywhere, but in my opinion, both would be significant upgrades over Hunter.
Just watched the Bears v Redskins. If they can block it up, Cutler is going to have a HUGE year. He looks great. He looks so free and easy and smooth when he is throwing. Everything is a spiral. He and Marshall look like they never left eachother.
What were the Broncos asking for him? I think they wanted Harris and a #1. I know he doesn't necessarily fit what Rex likes but still.
Anyone got a time machine?
Not sure about your first statement as a guy might be much better going towards the left than going towards the right. You have to reverse just about everything you know. Also, there are more than subtle differences between the two positions.
As for Hunter, I'm not real happy with him being a front side or a blind side protector. People keep focusing on his sacks, it would seem, but his inability to stand a guy up or hold is ground is just as problematic, especially for Sanchez. I mean, how can he step into a throw towards the right side of the field with Hunter having been driven back and sitting in his lap?
Man there must be diamond in the rough out there someone has to be cut.

Squeem's maximum compression item slims by 2-3 inches and aids in weight loss.
Are all talk and no trim shapers becoming more trouble than they're worth? Our maximum strength vest style Squeem waist cincher, the SlimVest makes sure that those pesky trouble areas are no trouble at all. The secret is a one-two punch design. First, a power latex core tells your midsection who's boss. Baby bodies, bulging bellies and bad posture? They don't stand a chance. Next up is the slouch-sabotaged silhouette. The Squeem waist cincher SlimVest's Flexi-boning supports your spine, gently lifting and lengthening the torso.
If you were worried that this was another temporary quick fix, at ease! While the Squeem SlimVest will reduce your middle by 1-4 inches immediately, it's also a longterm in-vestment in your shape. Simply wear it under your regular clothes 8-10 hours a day for at least one month to experience the permanent weight-loss benefits of compression. As your body changes, the Squeem SlimVest changes with you. Two rows of hook and eye enclosures allow the garment to slim down as you whittle your waist. If you're looking for while-you-wait support for weight loss and posture plus a permanent change of shape, don't waste another minute on more-is-less shapers. Slim down with the Squeem waist cincher SlimVest today!
Materials: 25% Cotton, 75% Latex
