Does anyone here actually go see a film based on what awards it has recieved? Does anyone care that film X got 9 nominations and 4 Oscars? The only way to judge whether a movie is good, is to go and see it for yourself. While this isn't realistically possible we have these "new-fangled" things called movie reviews and "word of mouth". Whether they be on the net, or on more traditional media such as radio and magazine they provide an insight into the quality of the movie, of a far greater significance than a bunch of coked-up producers and actors voting for their friends and collegues.
It saddens me that the kind of trash churned out of hollywood like Jurrasic park, titanic, quiz show, LA confidential can get such praise. But this is hollywood after all. We can't expect anything less superficial from an industry that gave us that twat Makauley Culkin can we;o)
Rumours abound that James Cameron is working on "Titanic 2: The next generation"...
Awww, come on. We're getting more and more socialist all the time. Still capitalist, yes. But we're capitalists with welfare, social security, a graduated income tax, unemployment benefits, and plenty of government subsidies.

The sixth sense was abysmal. The ending was coming for the entire second half of the film and shock effects (slow tension then loud orchestra hit) rate about as high on the movie ladder as "I woke up and it was all a dream". The film was a carbon copy of 99% of the films to come out of the states in the last 20 years or so. Studios keep churning out this shit because thick people keep going to see it. It's exactly the same reason why there were so many romantic comedies made in the last 5 years. Basically Most Americans have double figure IQs. Combined that with an incredibly low attention span and... well you get the picture. Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells;-)
I wasn't one of those people who hated the character. In fact Jar Jar was probably the best character in the entire film. It says a lot about the rest of the cast and the script when a CGI effect has the most personality out of the lot of them.. The script was crap, the plot was non-existant, the acting was abysmal, the CGI was nice but certainly nothing special. And as for revolutionary non-human interaction - have you ever seen Who framed Roger Rabbit or Cool World...
But Microsoft will have "3D Solitaire" and "Minesweeper Millennium Edition" available by the time the X-Box launches. That and the really frustrating game that comes with Windows 2000 called "How the @#?$ do I get this damn ACPI working?"

I absolutely agree. After all, music piracy and narcotic abuse are pretty much the same thing....Moron

Twaddle.
That film was quite good until the last 15 minutes or so. It was just another hollywood "alls well that ends well" piece of shit.
