RE : Oscars for 2002

Return of the King? That's next December, John. [:)]

Catch Me If You Can is getting a lot of buzz and so is DiCaprio.
Spielberg could be in line for Oscar #2.

As for the Best Song category, is there another song that comes to mind other than the horrible Madonna one? [:)]

Spirited Away for Animated Feature? I'll take Ice Age any day! Does Monsters, Inc. qualify?

Hopefully we don't see another Dame Judi Dench nomination/win. Seems like all she needs to do to get nominated is to appear for 10 minutes in a movie (think Shakespear In Love).

The release date is Dec 25th, 5 days after another Dicaprio release, Gangs of New York.

When is it suppose to be released? I have never heard of it or seen it advertised.

Nate, go to - EXTERNAL LINK -

Why would people think a movie made in 1989 would be up for best picture? Catch Me If You Can came out in 1989, produced by Stephen Sommers, which you can read on The Scorpion King DVD in cast and filmmakers. I have never even heard of this movie until it was being talked about on this forum. I mean, a movie that has never been advertise let alone an unheard of movie.

Um, where have YOU been, Nate? Catch Me If You Can is the name of the new Spielberg starring DiCaprio and Hanks. Sometimes, there are movies made with the same title, you know.

Per, Henning is the Editor-in-Chief of DVD Town. Only his opinion matters. He liked Minority Report, so it is a great movie. He liked Die Another Day, so my opinion no longer counts.

LOL. Just kidding. I mentioned Henning, Jesper, and Michael only because you claimed that no one you know liked it. But you know Henning, Jesper, and Michael, right? [:)]

Oddly, John and I both think that Minority Report is a very thoughtful, even philosophical, work. Personally, I think that there are more ideas in Minority Report than in every Dane's favorite movie, LOTR 1. [:)]

By the way, I finally figured out why John's eyes can access the Pre-Crime building--he has special clearance because he is/was the top cop at Pre-Crime (yes, I know that Lamar Burgess is/was the actual head of Pre-Crime, but Anderton is/was the muscle). Therefore, the building lets him go anywhere he pleases.

Ironically, Die Another Day may actually get a nomination for Best Song even though many people hated the music. This can be attributed to the fact that not many memorable original songs were written for 2002's movies, and Madonna is a safer choice for the Academy than Eminem.

Well, they DID nominate Blame Canada from the South Park movie, but the live performance of that song underwent 'special treatment'--basically, Robin Williams mumbled into his hands (which were covering his mouth) when he had to sing obscenities.

Eddie: Regarding: henning, jesper, and michael liked it.

Well Henning also liked Bond 20 wich you did not, so how can we count on his judgement ;)

Anyway, I found Minority Rep. to be too brainless and stupid to be Oscar material.
