No you won't. Come on, man.

:lol: Well maybe, let me finish downloading these two albums.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]Don Cheadle got robbed of "Best Actor" last year.[/QUOTE]
The Academy is full of s[size=2]h[/size]it anyways.

Sort of like how Raging Bull got robbed in 1980, how Apocalypse Now got robbed in 1979, how The Pianist got robbed in '02, how Taxi Driver got robbed in 1976, and how Scorsese never won Best Director.

And how the movie he was closest to winning it for was that sh[size=2]it sandwich[/size] Gangs of New York, and how Forrest Gump beat The Shawshank Redemption for Best Picture in 1994.

I think Black Hawk Down should have won some awards in 2001...probably the most realistic war movie ever...not in terms of how it portrays the events it is based on (I heard it twists them around) but in how it captures combat.

Hell, we could sit here all day and point out what the Academy screwed up.

Anyway, Hotel Rwanda was a very good movie. It's a bit heavyhanded in some parts (but it never claims to be a documentary so it avoids a bullet there), but overall it's great. I really have a hard time believing Million Dollar Baby is better.

Agreed, BHD was definitely one of the most realistic war movies i have ever seen. It was very well done

so HR was good? I hear that's it's quite a drama, but I haven't heard good or not. I hear MDB was pretty good too, except I think it looks kinda dumb

Why all the abbreviations? Lazy white people :p

Anyway, yeah, Hotel Rwanda was a really good movie...it's only problem is that it is best as a movie about one man (Don Cheadle's character) trying to do too much, trying to do what is best for himself and his family but also trying to do what is best for his country, but sometimes it drifts into a movie that tries to make a political statement (in showing the Western world's unwillingness to help Rwanda). Overall, though, the political statement takes a backseat, so don't make that deter you from seeing it.

[QUOTE]how Forrest Gump beat The Shawshank Redemption for Best Picture in 1994.[/QUOTE]

And Pulp Fiction

Shawshank was better than PF, and was more of an "Oscar-worthy" movie (in other words, it would be more realistic to assume that Shawshank would win Best Picture than it would be to assume Fiction would win it)

Madey- Nope, but what does GA stand for? (concert n00b lmao)

EDIT: 123@lazy white people. :lol:

GA = General Admission, which means it's basically first-come first-serve

Well, either way I don't think Forrest Gump should have won over either of those two. Even though Pulp Fiction was a definite oddity in the bunch.

Volta and SOAD touring together. Man, that's going to be my favorite concert.

My video is on the way.

It's mystifying that Shawshank got completely shut out at the Oscars that year. One of the two best movies ever. Bah.

I'm looking forward to it, Chris.

Who cares what the Academy Awards think?

[QUOTE=Lunch]Who cares what the Academy Awards think?[/QUOTE]

Kids choice Awards > all

It's all about the Golden Globes.

:lol: Anyone seen The Girl Next Door? I forget the name of the awards, but I recall them being about pr0n films, and the actaul award was a giant golden di[B][I][/I][/B]ck. That would be quite the conversation peice.

Yea, I drank too much Brandy.

Where were you vacationing at?

Yeah, and I can't download that. :(

Meh; they're not the worst. It depends on who's hosting the show for me.

You're a piano genius in the making.

Also, you look like you're about 15 :eek:

It's a joke. I would much prefer an Independent Spirit Award or one from the Cannes film Festival.

God, I found out the only thing wrong with my job today. I have to deal with people. If I didn't have to deal with people at Subway personally making there sandwiches, I'd be the happiest guy in the world. It makes you feel like an insider looking out when you help a hundred people a day and talk to them and make jokes but never remember their names or faces. Oh, well I like my job, it's really chill.

How much do you get per hour.

/makes $7.75

/Doesn't know because I was half asleep the first time my boss said it.

Probably less than that.

Washington State has an uber high minimum wage, which owns for me. :-D

I make $6.00/hour, but with tips, it's more towards $13.00/hour. Yeah, my job rules :cool:

Random question: knowing what you know now at this point in your life, what is one thing you would have done at any point in your life, so that if you went back in time, you could change that one thing... so that, in an imaginary future, that event-change would be better than what it is (was) currently (at some point in time)?

[quote=Moses]Do you still work at that spanish-speaking restraunt?[/quote]

Yep. It's just the cooks that speak Spanish, though. All of them are bilingual, it's just that their Spanish owns their English hard, heh.

[quote=Moses]I would do a thread on Borknagor, but I need more songs.[/quote]

If you make a thread here, I hope it has more success than my most recent article had :(

Yeah I definately don't post enough in here.

Do you still work at that spanish-speaking restraunt?

Oregon min. wage is 7.05 right now, and I make 8 bucks an hour, hurrah!

Jom : Interesting question, I would have to think about that one.

NP - Borknagar - A Tale Of Pagan Tongue

Garm = \m/

Borknagar is the ****. I would do a thread on them but I need more songs.

I love Borknagar. My grandmother heard it as well, because I accidentaly left it in her car, on a really high volume :lol:

[QUOTE=Moses]Borknagar is the ****. I would do a thread on them but I need more songs.[/QUOTE]


I have all of their albums, and they are quite the nifty band.

Plus they have had IMO the three best metal vocalist of our time in the band at one point or another, each with 2 albums under their belts.

Garm, Vortex and now the almighty Mr. Vintersorg.

/yay

Yes, all three are quite talented vocalists, but I'm better...

I wouldn't say all of metal, more like just black/extreme metal but that's still a huge complement. I NEED MORE SONGS.

I would make it so that my dad would still be alive.

Things would be different and I know I probably wouldn't be where I am now, but I don't really care.
