"I don't think any of the films nominated are worthy of winning"

You haven't seen them.

"I don't see movies I have already deemed as I won't like them because it will not be a great viewing experience"

LOL. So essentially you are basing your opinion on nothing. You say none of the films are worthy of winning yet you probably haven't seen any of them. You are a joke. And this clown calls me trite. #Ijustcant.

You have seen 1 out of 8 films and somehow none of them are worthy? Yeah that makes sense. Clown.

"I don't think any of the films nominated are worthy of winning. NONE of them."

Well, you're right. "The Tale of Princess Kaguya," "Only Lovers Left Alive," "Two Days, One Night," "Mr. Turner," "P'tit Quinquin," and "We Are the Best" weren't nominated, so there's no chance they're going to award my favorite film of the year.

"Oh, I mean real people. Not people that profess to love movies only to gush over films they see that are limited released and they feel OH so special for having seen them."

So your theory is that anyone who likes Oscar movies (none of which are particularly obscure) - or anyone who seeks out movies that don't open at 3000 theaters and make $500 million - isn't real? Fascinating. So basically anything foreign and/or indie is just for poseurs - the only legitimate movies (because they're the only ones "mass audiences" care about) are Hollywood productions with $200 million production budgets and massive advertising campaigns.

Man, I like most of the Best Pic nominated films this year (even if I can fully agree that the Oscars as a whole are kind of silly and overly political.) I'm so sad to learn that I'm not a real person.

"OH, but I'm sure there are people that will profess how it wasn't that much of a mess of cliches..."

Yes, I'm sure there are people who will disagree with your condescending, uninformed rhetoric. Isn't that just awful? Incidentally, it's kind of funny that you have the temerity to turn around and call someone else "a grumpy old man who has nothing better to do than be a bitter betty online."

Something about motes and beams comes to mind.

Also, just for the record, your attitude is exactly what is wrong with Hollywood today.

I love that this film introduced me to Billy Magnussen and his phenomenal ass.

Side note - can't help but feel on third viewing that "It Takes Two" slows down the first half. I enjoy the number but it doesn't keep it moving.

"What's done is done. They kept "It Takes Two" and removed "No More." Move on. "

Hey, it's a discussion board. We're discussing. If I see a poster make a point that I agree with, I'm going to comment on it. If you'd rather not read it, just skip over it. Have a great day!

Into the Woods is now at $114,000,000 domestic box office wow who would have thought that this the film would have earned over $100,000,000 in just 4 weeks. On top of that 3 Oscar award nominations. I didn't believe some on here when they were predicting that this movie would be a major hit at the box office and a major contender at the Oscars, gosh I'm so glad I was wrong.

"and a major contender at the Oscars"

You are joking, correct?

wow how would have thought that this the film would have earned over $100,000,000 in just 4 weeks.

I give up. How?

ETA: Ha ha. Now you should fix that it's.

^ I wondered that the moment I heard it too. On top of sounding too 'professional,' I also thought it sounded too full.

"You have seen 1 out of 8 films and somehow none of them are worthy? Yeah that makes sense. Clown."

You think Birdman is good just because it's your view. Oh, yeah that makes sense.

I'm sorry to inform you, your opinion is no more valuable than the five year old that told me they liked Paddington Bear.

I know that'll cut you deep, but oh well. Your tears are but the sugar one needs to have a sweet (oh so sweet) cup of coffee.

This magnificent film just passed $140,000,000 at the Box Office! Hooray!

"You are joking, correct?"

Probably not, because though it did get nominated for only three Oscars, it was a awards contender. There's no denying of that.
