The only movie I really saw on there was Crash. It was a great movie, a little heavy-handed on the racism, but I would highly recommend it.
The only other movie I saw was fairly minor....cough, cough -- seeing Brokeback Mountain 5 times is pretty typical isn't it?:D :eek: :eek:
That's a JOKE! Feel free to see the gay cowboy movie - I'll stay home and watch ESPN classic.

I hope BBM does not win anything. It is a shame too that the actors in there may have done a good job. But IMO they should have picked their jobs a little better. Guilty by association.
Unfortunately, they didn't ask for my vote. So I think Hollywood will use this as an opportunity to make a statement and call it art.

I said, "Good", when I heard Brokeback Mountain didn't win a SAG award. Yes, it will be used as an excuse to make more crap movies like that, especially if they win awards. They tell us to open our minds, but I say we're opening them to garbage and we don't need to do that. I like how I am right now because that's what the Bible expects of me.

I'm sure you will be sorely disappointed all the way around come Oscar night. Hollywood may be making a statement with the movie and it's one you don't have to listen to or see, but that doesn't mean other people don't have the right to see if they want to whether or not you believe it is wrong!
Does that make me "guilty by association" because I'm not trashing the movie and gays?:rolleyes:

No that was not what I was saying. I was not talking about the people watching the movie. I was talking about the people acting in it. They may have given the performance of a lifetime. But it is unfortunate it has to be in a movie such as this. It is nothing personal towards them at all, but because they are linked to this movie I hope they don't win the awards they are nominated for.
And if 14 billion people see this movie or 2 does not matter to the academy. They will pick the one they want to promote. How many movies have been up for Best Movie over the years that you have never even heard of before the nominations came out. So it must not have anything to do with attendance.

Crash was a good movie. The racism was obviously an integral part of the movie.

Crash was a great movie, but I have to say Brokeback Mountain was the better of the two. If Heath Ledger doesn't win best actor for BBM it will be the greatest travesty in the awards since Saving Private Ryan lost best picture to Shakespear in Love.

Crash was Ok. I mean it wasnt that big of a deal to me...being a young Black man...it was sort of "Normal" if that makes any sense. I don't know how to explain it without coming off the wrong way.

I haven't seen the movie, but what it sounds like is that the movie portrays a typical life of a black person growing up and that's why it isn't a big deal for you. It would only be earth-shattering if somebody who isn't aware of that type of lifestyle sees the movie. Is that what you were trying to say?

Yeah, pretty much...They showed like one story from different peoples/races perspectives....It's like a gay couple going to see Brokeback Mountain and thinking "This isn't anything new, what's all the fuss about"
It may have opened some peoples eyes to something new, while to another person, this has been going on forever.

Remember Dada, my friends and I are from Southlake, so L.A. was a little different. I liked the movie because it portrayed how many of us think we aren't racist, but showed the subtle racisms inherint in our society.

I understand....but L.A. is just a bigger place...those types of things happen everywhere....everyday. And like you said...a lot of us think we aren't racist and it takes situations like the movie showed for us to take a better look at ourselves. At 31 years old....I can look back at myself from the ages of maybe 13-21 and say I was ignorant....but growing up in a Black neighborhood....going to majority Black schools....I never thought that I was racist. When I use the word racist referring to myself, I don't mean it as "Hating" another race....I mean it as being ignorant. Just sterotyping someone makes you ignorant.....not that you do it on purpose, but you grow up beleving certain things and you have nothing else to compare your opinions to because everyone in your circle share that same opinion...so you think it's right. I know I say it over and over, but leaving my circle...joining the military was the best thing that happened to me....it exposed me to different people from everywhere.....

Gay=Academy Award.
You play a gay character, you win. Plain and simple. The liberal left pounds you with this already enough, then they're going to throw and award at your for it. CONGRATULATIONS! Every person should be gay. Here's the award.
The question is what gay is it this year. Is it historical gay (Capote) or fictional gay (Ledger,an incredibly overhyped actor.) Personally, I think it should go to Hoffman. The guy already has a great body of respectable work compared to Ledger who just makes crap, so to speak (Brothers Grimm, Knights Tale)
