    It was better than the Avengers because I thought that the (original) Avengers was awful.  But..sure, no more deserving than 100 other Superhero movies.  I still liked it OK....but Oscar worthy?  No.  

    On the other hand, is it any more silly than a movie about a fishman  fuycking a chick?

    Actually I loved the shape of water. If you didn't oh, oh well.

    Actually, I did like it fine.   I am just not sure that it was "Best Picture" material.  The problem is that I am not sure that the competition was any better:

     
    Great performance by Oldham.....but not Best Picture
    image.jpeg.b592bc1f660282583affe000c6c7db4e.jpeg
     
    Superficial treatment of the event.....there was a much better BBC miniseries on it a few years back......
    .....even though Tom Hardy portrayed my cousin, essentially in this movie
    image.jpeg.241b39ce42c1f7c1662d323ca441bd1f.jpeg
     
    You know how I feel about this....great performances.....but one of the most boring/stupid movies ever.
    image.jpeg.fedbf4c872c3203581937cb53c1d3a80.jpeg
     
    If any this is the one that could have perhaps taken it instead, even though I didn't think overall that it was a tour de force.

    Never saw it.  Heard it was just another minority story.
    image.jpeg.5dd462568691e6c33bb46333853d9c62.jpeg
     
    A warmed over All the Presiden'ts men.
    image.jpeg.9ddf9fddf7278a1160b32b162d7af6a0.jpeg
     
    Never saw it....heard that its only basic appeal was to LBGTers
    image.jpeg.89c861f3532d434483edbb501d49196d.jpeg
     
    Pretty much hated this one.  Got it on video...and didn't finish it.
     
  • As I said, the Tom Hardy role based roughly on the exploits of my cousin:  Alan Deere:

    To be honest I found this to be the most enjoyable superhero flick in a long time. Probably won't get props because it's a comedy and all the f-bombs but it really did go Way Beyond shock humor.

    Are you confusing this movie with the one about the Boston Newspaper that investigated the priest abuses?  Spotlight, from a couple of years back?  This was about the Washington Post releasing the Pentagon Papers.

    Yes I am, and I stand corrected. Should have gone back and read my summary from that Oscar season.

    I should have said liberals always love to press when it does their bidding.

    And conservatives love to suppress the truth and love to lie in order to do their bidding.  So, I guess it is all even.

    That's true but it has nothing to do with the context of this Oscar nomination. Very similar to the scene in the verdict when the bad guys lawyer instructed his cronies in the press to write a puff piece about dr. Tarnower. With the Press Under Fire I don't have much. That this film was made to show them in a good light.

    And it got more attention because for the most part liberal filmmakers are better than conservative filmmakers. Not always but in general.

    Are you saying that Bedtime for Bonzo starring the so called conservative Ronald Reagan was not a fine piece of film making?

    On the other hand, you have Clint Eastwood.  I think that he, and everyone else would think of him as conservative,   and he has acted in, directed, produced many great films.....Oscar worthy.

    I never said that there were none. I just said for the most part liberals seem to be better in that particular instance.

    I haven't been keeping score....nor have I even much an inkling of What writers/producers/directors etc. of who is liberal/conservative etc.  Other than someone like Michael Moore.
