Renner was kind of boring, he was just a generic tough guy type character. I thought Jon Hamm gave an impressive performance but didn't stand out because his character was a bit shallow and one-dimensional.

The movie was entirely plot-based not character and IMO why it should have garnered an original screenplay nomination although that lot is pretty packed.   If it were an adapted, it definitely would have made it over 127 Hours--which was entirely built on James Franco's performance.

While Renner didn't have a mindblowing great performance, it at least gives The Town some recognition at the ceremony.

Oh and I watched Exit Through the Gift Shop.  Pretty good.  Kind of inspiring to see how a completely talentless hack could make it big in the arts.  NOTE: I know that happens all the time, but it's interesting to see HOW it happens.

To me Hamm was the boring tough guy. I enjoyed Renner a lot. I certainly enjoyed him a lot more than I did in the very overrated film that won Best Picture last time.

Jon Hamm played it like he was told to do an Aaron Eckhart impersonation because he turned them down or something.

Looking at that list, the one I mentioned seems to be the only really grave one. The others are pretty understandable and more minor.

That was basically the judgment of the article as well, of course. I think more questionable is making a film about Britain in the thirties and making it about that.

Trust the Guardian to point that out.

Water World- One of the worst movies i've ever seen
The Fountain- A very different style. I liked it, not the best thing ever

BTW I saw The Kids Are All Right. I thought it was really sweet. Nothing terribly original outside the premise, but I thought it was a well made family film. Witty, funny, tense, wonderful script and great, believable characters. It's also a terrific plot.

Still not sure why two gay women like to watch men having sex.

Because he's gay? I never paid too much attention to the guy but that was obvious long ago.

Videodrome.

Pretty disturbing but a cool experience and eerily prophetic.

Enter the Void

two and a half hours of french filmmaking. I was vaguely interested but it just seemed like a montage of tragic events and sex scenes viewed through unconventional camera angles. The DMT-induced sequence was really well done though.

Stutterers are bad people who need to shot.

Precisely. I despise your kind.

How so ? It seemed to me that the film promoted exactly the opposite view (part of which I liked it so much).

Hämnden (The Revenge) by Suzanne Bier.

I believe it won Best Picture in a Foreign Language at the Oscars. I really liked it.
