«Rob Balder» I think the best pic last year was "Best in Show" (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:46am) «Andrea Krause» I just wish the oscars would add a comedy category or something, if they so consistently deem gut-wrenching-drama as the only "good" acting. :) (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:47am) «Michael (foof) Maki» Bob Dylan looked like Vincent Price. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:48am) «jaye» true, they have no respect for cominc timing (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:48am) «Michael (foof) Maki» Rob: Gladiator was a good movie...agreed. But I would argue that the three best movies of last year didn't even get nominated. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:48am) «Andrea Krause» bob dylan looked like a geriatric zorro with that damn moustache. :) (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:48am) «jaye» or comic, even. bleh (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:49am) «Michael (foof) Maki» See, and I thought "Urbania" was the best of the year. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:49am) «Michael (foof) Maki» Rob: Best in show? Seriously? (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:49am) «Rob Balder» Didnt see it Michael (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:49am) «jaye» yes, urbania was amazing (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:49am) «Rob Balder» Yeah it was brilliant. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:49am) «Andrea Krause» yay jaci and I sorta agree on something movie-ish! :) *hugs* (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:49am) «jaye» heehee *hugs* sweetie =) (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:49am) «Michael (foof) Maki» ...and I see a *lot* of movies. Over 70 last year. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:50am) «Michael (foof) Maki» Rob: I'd agree that it was a good film...but I think Brilliant may be overstating it. In particular since Christopher Guest has been making the same movie... (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:50am) «Michael (foof) Maki» over and over since Spinal Tap. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:51am) «Andrea Krause» all awards shows are bunk, really. that's the way it is. :) (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:51am) «Rob Balder» Naw I thought Best In Show transcended Waiting for Guffman and Spinal Tap (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:51am) «jaye» ugh. i have to drag my sick self off to work now. bye wall (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:51am) «lawrence» pretty much just a chance for them to show off all their ridiculous outfits, right? (actually, they didn't seem that outlandish this year...) (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:51am) «Rob Balder» The Fred Willard part as the announcer. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:51am) «Andrea Krause» byebye hon :) (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:52am) «Rob Balder» "And to think that in some countries these beautiful creatures are eaten." (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:52am) «Michael (foof) Maki» Rob: Hmmm? Well, I definitely need to watch it again, but I'd always considered "Waiting For Guffman" his high-water mark. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:52am) «Michael (foof) Maki» /me saw *entirely* too much of J-Lo's body. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:52am) «Andrea Krause» awards shows always just end up being an intellectual battle between those who see what gets to the mainstream, and those who go out and see the obscurities. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:53am) «Rob Balder» "Harlan Pepper, if you don't quit namin' nuts...' (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:53am) «Andrea Krause» Same with musical awards shows. :) (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:53am) «Michael (foof) Maki» It is so difficult to compare something like Best in Show to something like, say, Dancer in the Dark... both are incredible pieces of filmmaking, but which is.. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:54am) «Michael (foof) Maki» BETTER (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:54am) «Michael (foof) Maki» I've heard it said that Comedy is harder because you can PRETEND to be serious, but you can't pretend to be funny. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:54am) «Rob Balder» Yeah it's a fallacy to compare (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:55am) «lawrence» that's a good point. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:55am) «Michael (foof) Maki» I agree that they should separate it into Best Dramatic Film and Best Comedic Film or somesuch. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:55am) «lawrence» definitely, that would give the funny films the recognition some of them deserve... (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:55am) «Michael (foof) Maki» ...and frankly, it all boils down to opinion, anyways. Yeah, in this case, the opinion of people who should be knowledgeable about filmmaking, but still just (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:56am) «Michael (foof) Maki» opinion. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:56am) «Rob Balder» Might encourage Hollywood to put more thought into comedies and quit casting David Spade in shit. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:56am) «Michael (foof) Maki» ...and I have a lot of trouble taking seriously the opinion of any body which allowed Jack Valenti to present an award, anyways. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:57am) «Andrea Krause» There's a pretty consistent lack of respect for comedy which pisses me off. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:57am) «Michael (foof) Maki» Rob: But then we'll be adding Adam Sandler to the welfare roles! (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:57am) «Rob Balder» I don't think Adam Sandler's gonna starve. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:58am) «Michael (foof) Maki» ...or is it "welfare rolls"...I dunno. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:58am) «Andrea Krause» though maybe they don't want to recognize comedies, because then we'd be giving a ton of Oscars away to brits. *grin* (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:58am) «Michael (foof) Maki» <sallystruthers> Won't someone think of Adam Sandler?! </sallystruthers> (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:58am) «Andrea Krause» (not that they don't already with dramas...but...yeah. :) ) (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:59am) «Andrea Krause» man I'm frickin' tired. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 9:59am) «Michael (foof) Maki» My favorite movies are always the ones that run the entire emotional gamut...from crying through laughing hysterically. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:00am) «Michael (foof) Maki» ...so which is Steel Magnolias or Billy Elliott? Comedy or Drama? (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:00am) «Michael (foof) Maki» ...or is it like Best Picture amd Best Foreign Language Film, where one film can be nominated for both? (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:01am) «lawrence» they also tend to have a bias against foreign films... (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:01am) «lawrence» Foreign language films are cursed to never win best picture... (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:01am) «Rob Balder» I was annoyed Chicken Run got snubbed (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:01am) «Andrea Krause» yeah, both! :) (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:01am) «lawrence» which sucks, 'cause I thought Life is Beautiful should have won.. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:02am) «Rob Balder» It wasn't quite up to Wallace and Grommit standards but it was great. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:02am) «Michael (foof) Maki» Lawrence: Well, that's just part of the whole "the more effort it takes to watch, the less popular it will be" American laziness thing. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:02am) «lawrence» but by that standard, wouldn't silly comedies *always* win? (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:02am) «Michael (foof) Maki» I mean, shee-yit, if I wanted ta read, why would I go to tha MOOVEEZ?! (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:02am) «lawrence» hehee (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:03am) «Michael (foof) Maki» Lesee here, What was Life is Beautiful up against, again? (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:03am) «lawrence» elizabeth, saving private ryan, shakespeare in love, thin red line (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:03am) «lawrence» that was the only year I saw all the nominees... (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:04am) «Michael (foof) Maki» Oh, that's right. I thought Saving Private Ryan should've won... (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:04am) «Michael (foof) Maki» this was the first year I've seen all the nominees. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:04am) «Michael (foof) Maki» although, frankly, this years list was not terribly challenging. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:05am) «lawrence» I didn't think SPR was all that spectacular... then again, I also have a weak stomach, so I *didn't* like the realism... (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:05am) «lawrence» there weren't a lot of good movies this year in general, I think. it was kind of a ... dull year... (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:05am) «Michael (foof) Maki» There were lots of good movies out there...they just weren't in general release... (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:07am) «lawrence» heh. as usual. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:07am) «lawrence» but like... 1998 was an incredible year for widely released films... (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:07am) «Michael (foof) Maki» <nods> And not every teensy studio had a few million to plunk on the table for "For Your Consideration..." ads in Variety. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:08am) «Michael (foof) Maki» Wow. There's only an estimated $500M in American Currency circulating. I never knew it was that little. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:14am) «Andrea Krause» itchy eye grrr (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:23am) «Michael (foof) Maki» I broached the subject of taking a "Ferris Bueller Day Off" with my friends from my Oak Park group, and everyone thought it was a cool idea. :-) (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:26am) «Michael (foof) Maki» ...but now I need to come up with a list of activities...What all did they do? They went to a Sox game, and the Mercantile Exchange, and had lunch at some ... (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:30am) «Andrea Krause» parade...:) (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:30am) «Michael (foof) Maki» frufru restaurant (which we'll prolly replace with some nice restaurant with sidewalk dining) (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:30am) «Andrea Krause» swimming pool... (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:30am) «Michael (foof) Maki» Heh. How did I know you'd be the one to mention the parade, Andrea? That may prove problematic. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:31am) «Michael (foof) Maki» mmm...Alan Ruck in the swimming pool... Wonder what I'd need to do to make *that* happen. :-) (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:31am) «Andrea Krause» You could have root beer floats and parade around...get it? *grin* (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:31am) «Michael (foof) Maki» ...they went up in the Sears Tower, didn't they? (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:32am) «Andrea Krause» je ne sais psa (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:32am) «Andrea Krause» pas, as well :) (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:32am) «Michael (foof) Maki» You're a goof, Andrea. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:32am) «Michael (foof) Maki» ...and didn't they do the Art Institute or something? (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:33am) «Michael (foof) Maki» I'm thinking it's going to be an evening Sox game...and we'll end the day there. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:33am) «Michael (foof) Maki» damn. I really need to buy Ferris Bueller on DVD. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:33am) «Andrea Krause» yeah! paintings! dot-child! (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:34am) «Michael (foof) Maki» dot-child? hmm? (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:35am) «Michael (foof) Maki» I vaguely recall Matthew Broderick striking a pose as The Thinker...but I could be making that up. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:36am) «Andrea Krause» someone was staring at one of thoise pointilism paintings and it kept zooming closer and closer on this kid. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:38am) «Michael (foof) Maki» ah, yes...the SUnday in the Park painting... I *think* that's at the Art Institute here... I think... yay, me. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:39am) «Rob Balder» They definitely did the Sears Tower. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:41am) «Michael (foof) Maki» ...and there's this cool little sidewalk-cafe-y place to eat right near the Art Institute. This is starting to take shape. (Mar 26, 2001 @ 10:41am) «Rob Balder» Have you seen the pic of the Wrigley Field marquee reading "All Your Baseball Are Belong To Us?"
