"...now its about passing on an important message."

And that message is, "We now deliberately make movies that only 5% of America, tops, would pay to see." Nice strategery, Einstein.

I'm wonder why the pro bestiality crowd didn't come out against this movie because the sheep were left unmolested.

I'm not sure the sheep were left unmolested...

'BROKEBACK ABUSED SHEEP'

March of the Penguins was very good as well, but probably too hard for Hollywood types to understand.

I know some human parents who could learn a lot from those penguins.

The moldy msm has really been pushing this perverted Oscar ceremony. And to make it seem as though there is a horse race when the votes were all cast weeks ago tells us they think the public is really stupid.

REVENGE OF THE SITH. No STAR WARS movie EVER won a major Oscar, and SITH made MORE money than all the nominees combined.

Will this year's stautes be pink, lavender, or if Looney wins one, red?

This stupid movie is about gay "shepherds", not about gay cowboys.

If we'd all start talking about the shepherds being gay, it would make it funny...... and leave the legend of the cowboy with honor.

It's GAY Shepherds. Got it?

And the stupid movie was filmed in Canada, and the movie makers have been accused of mistreatment of the sheep.

That's the story here, folks. Run with it.

Are they trying to say our Mountains as backgrounds aren't gay enough?

That really irks me. Nobody does it better than Americans and I'm sure we could make our mountains the gayest in the world if needed.

Well, we don't know what ended up on the cutting room floor, do we?

Chronicles of Narnia
The Great Raid
March of The Penguins
Walk The Line
Batman Begins

The five great movies of 2005 completely SNUBBED by the fools at the "Academy."


Don’t forget “Cinderella Man”, another good movie that that Oscars totally ignored.

As much as I loved OCTOBER SKY and Gyllenhaal in it , I'm nor sure I can ever watch it in the same light again .

I was, quite happily, ignorant of that connection until now. October Sky is one of my favorite movies.

I'll try to forget that I read this.

Gyllenhaal is a boring actor. He has a limited..very limited--range of expressions and is a one dimensional character.

"Buttcrack Mountain: Where two grown men can kiss and fondle each other while stealing 2 hours of your lifetime."

Hopefully Buttcrack will win a lot of Oscars.

That will turn off more moderates and those who are a little less politically conservative.

More and more Americans are reaching the fatigue level of the constant glorification of the Gay Life Style.

Buttcrack Battering adds to the fatigue level, and if it wins an oscar, that will increase the fatigue level in a lot of Americans.

Be prepared to see many wearing cowboy hats in the red carpet fashion show. :-(

I was trying to remember all the movies that I've seen in the theaters over the last few years, but I really can't remember seeing many... There have been 2 Harry Potter movies: Prisoner of Askaban and Goblet of Fire. And of course the three Lord of the Rings movies... And the final Star Wars movie... I guess I don't get out much.

I wanted to see Serenity, but didn't until I had bought Firefly and watched all the episodes. And I meant to see Narnia, but just haven't found the time. I'm just going to wait for the DVD release.

But that was about it.

Nobody is going to watch the Oscars this year. Drudge has already written his headline, I'm sure...they will tank.
