What's the last movie you've seen?

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

The Kids Are Allright.

Probably my least favourite of the Best Picture nominees I've seen so far. Still pretty good.

We watched the first half hour or so of that movie, then shut it off because it wasn't very interesting.

That's the only one of the ten that I haven't bothered to watch.

I thought it was ok... but probably #8 or #9 on the list of BP nominees in my mind.

[Lincoln Republican]

The King's Speech.

Did not approve of some of the language, but overall a very good movie, intriguing story line, brilliantly acted.

Historically factual.

[Eraserhead]

The King's Speech.

Did not approve of some of the language, but overall a very good movie, intriguing story line, brilliantly acted.

Historically factual.

Actually, there were some major aspects of it that weren't correct in that regard.

Never change, Winfield.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

The Princess Bride, a childhood favourite.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Unknown.

It wasn't bad as an action movie but the main plot was kind of predictable and if you're Genre Savvy you can figure it out. Also Diane Kruger's character was kind of hard to buy, she's an illegal immigrant from the former Yugoslavia who needs to get about 4000 Euros to get papers or whatever and works low-class jobs living in a slum. Yet she looks like Diane Kruger, I don't think she'd have much trouble getting the money or papers.

[Antonio the Sixth]

The King's speech. Excellent film.

Historically factual.

Which ones? The one that struck as the most obvious was the depiction of Churchill as supporting the King, whereas in reality he damaged his political career immensely by being solidly behind Edward VIII.

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.

Oh. That's some class analysis. I see your point, but on the other hand I'm willing to grant artistic license on that issue.

[The Mikado]

It's a really weird thing, how even a movie not directly about WWII sees some need to promote the cult of Churchill, even by 100% reversing his IRL stances.

Great movie if you can get past that.

Churchill was Britain's only source of comic relief until the invention of Monty Python.

The major premise of the movie, however, was factual, the stammer of George VI and the treatment received from Lionel Logue in overcoming it.

In Inglourious Basterds, the Nazis were bad and the Allies killed them. 100% factual film.

Wrong, we all know there was in truth no Nazi milk, milk is good!

[Хahar 🤔]

I find the whole idea of The King's Speech rather repulsive.

[Eraserhead]

The Town

Very over the top but pretty damn entertaining. It probably should have been nominated.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Elaborate, please.

Last film I saw was Paul No Shaun of the Dead but it was good.

Stutterers are bad people who need to shot.

Yes.  At least Renner got one.  They should of also gotten an original screenplay nomination at the least.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

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.
