Holy sh*te.
Does ANYONE else here read Nico's stuff and just laugh till he falls out his chair crying?
If laughter is the best medicine, dude, well, you just became my personal HMO. (And before you snicker again, Beavis, note that there is NOT an additional "O" beween the H and the M.)
Heh heh. You said "Butt Pirate". Heh heh heh.

Just saw Eastern Promises yesterday. Wow.
In a word: astonishing. A truly great film from beginning to end. I think it even deserves to be ranked up there with The Godfather for the best organized crime films of all-time.
Outstanding performances from Cassel, Watts, Mueller-Stahl, and especially Viggo Mortensen, perhaps his best ever. If he and director Cronenberg don't get an Oscar nom, as well as Best Picture, I'll be very surprised (and disapointed).
And with The Kingdom coming next week and American Gangster in just over a month... maybe this season isn't so bad after all.

You're definitely right about Crash. Although you have to admit, it had an amazing cast (notably Brendan Fraser and Sandra Bullock) that made the contrived story work more than it rightfully deserved to.

Crash was a very good film, but, no, it didn't deserve Best Picture, not by a long shot. And neither did any of the other Best Picture nominees.
In a perfect world, the five finalists for Best Picture, 2006 would have been:
Cinderella Man;
The Constant Gardner;
North Country;
Syriana; and
Walk the Line...
...and Walk the Line would have won.
It's just my opinion.
I remain, as always...
Nico.

Suspiciously missing something, something containing a MANimal that likes to screw Scientology types who live down by Dawson's Creek.
Errrrrrmmmmmmmm... War of the Worlds? Murderball? Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit?

Bloody friggin' clueless. [Grin]

Walk the Line? Oh dear Nico, you should walk the plank for that one.
The film was an overglorified TV movie about a musician's rise to fame and descent into drug use. I'm sure it's working title was Cocaine Blues: The Johnny Cash Story, or something. Sure, its two leads were decent, but if it wasn't for the music, the film would have stunk like a portaloo.
For me, Syriana, The Constant Gardener, 40 Year old Virgin, The Squid and the Whale, and Grizzly Man were all far more better and substantial films with much stronger performances.

I just came in here to tip my hat to Mr. Nicodemus. I had to pleasure to watch the Kingdom last night at my theatre's preview and his review was spot on. To the tee. I wasn't expected to get emotionally involved in it but it really gripped me. And the history lesson in beginning is priceless. I would recommend this movie just for the first half hour and the last half hour. It great stuff.
And I saw Eastern Promises as well and it was as amazing as I had hyped it up to be. I have to agree with Shryke's take on it. Viggo carried that film! The film was just so raw and unrelenting.

Ahhhh, I get it now. I really was thinking you meant War of the Worlds, since Ton Cruise does, in fact (if you believe his press agent, anyway) "screw Scientology types who live down by Dawson's Creek." But, now that you've so generously re-iterated that whole "MAN" clue, I believe I've got it...
It's Tyler Perry's Diary of a Mad Black WoMAN, isn't it? Come on, admit it.
...Oh, well, then, of course it's The Weather MAN.
...The Perfect MAN?
...MAN of the House, then.
...BoogeyMAN?
...George A. RoMero's LANd of the Dead?
I remain, as always...
Nico. (Pooh's Heffalump Movie?)

Hmm... The Running Man Without a Face of the Year.
Sounds like a Hugh Grant movie, directed by Paul Verhoeven and released by AfterDark Films.
(Great, now I won't be able to get to sleep.)
I remain, as always...
Nico.
