Well you asked, you stupid bastard. Not my fault you hoped for me to say I'm failing. By the way, you're right, they are happy I am succeeding. Don't know why they'd be disappointed in such a thing. Now run along back to your own life.
Watched Zodiac by David Fincher yesterday, for me it is his best film, probably my favourite crime film to come out in the past 10 years at least (though Gone Girl is pretty decent).
Fincher is one of the rare directors where every one of his films have something redeeming about them, even Alien 3 (which wasn't really his fault) and Benjamin Button (really not my type of film). His stuff on House of Cards is fantastic too. If I had to rank his filmography: Zodiac Se7en The Social Network Gone Girl Fight Club The Game The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Panic Room Alien 3 Curious Case of Benjamin Button
I think not getting one for What's Eating Gilbert Grape, The Aviator and Django were just as bad. What's Eating Gilbert Grape - lost out to Tommy Lee Jones in The Fugitive (what the actual ****, really?) The Aviator - lost out to Jamie Foxx in Ray (great performance, but not as good as Leo) Django Unchained - lost out to co-star Cristoph Waltz (whose performance was so prominent, it should've been a Best Actor nomination, whilst Leo wasn't even nominated) He was nominated for Blood Diamond too, but lost out to Forest Whitaker in The Last King of Scotland, which was a pretty fantastic performance so that one isn't as bad. Surprised he was never nominated for Titanic or Inception (Titanic seemed to get nominations in everything but Best Actor).
Tommy Lee Jones was excellent in The Fugitive, I thought Wolf Of Wall Street was an overrated and thoroughly mediocre film. He was very good in Blood Diamonds though.
Day 8 and my first animated film, " the wind rises" it's about jiro Horikoshi The designer of the Mitsubishi A6M zero, used by Japan during the Second World War,the film is written and directed by one of, if not the Best Japanese animated film director of his time, Hayao Miyazaki. This was his last film before retiring in 2013...
Best animation director full stop. Studio Ghibli films trump the majority of Disney's stuff in my eyes. Wind Rises is superb, and it's not even one of his best.
It was up for an Oscar that year,the winner was frozen or brave Cannot remember which. Same year Adele sang skyfall
Ghibli films regularly get nominated for Best Animated, though the last time it won it was Spirited Away. The award was only made in 2000 so a lot of the great films they made in the 80s and 90s never got such recognition. Miyazaki I believe has the most nominations for a director in that category too. Wind Rises was nominated in 2013, but was never going to win because everyone was obsessing over ****ing Frozen. Even though The Wind Rises is a superior film in every way.
No, but I'm definitely going to after watching that! That's genuinely ****ing brilliant. Seriously though, it can't be worse than Expendables 3. Good God what a car crash that is, even for an Expendables film.
I don't think you'd find many little girls would agree with that ... the audience for which it was intended, and which rightly made it a major success.
