Good Night, and Good Luck (Deserved to win)
Munich

2004:
The Aviator (Deserved to win)

The fact Eastwood has won 30 of the last 5 oscars makes me unable to give him it.

Eastwood only deserves another one if he does a fourth Dollars movie, this time with Blondie having a wise-cracking son.

Of course not.

I was being sarcastic.

Unforgiven was the perfect end to Eastwood's westerns and gladly he seemed to close the book on the genre with that film.

The only reason the hacks version of Infernal Affairs won is because Martin Scorsese is for some odd reason idolized by the slow folk at the academy.

The Departed features amazing acting. If you assholes prefer the asian form of "acting" (IE scream everything like you're in a fucking theater play) more power to you. But don't bring that shit up and try to compare it to real acting.

Cheebs · « **Reply #46 on:** March 07, 2007, 01:50:47 PM »

Apparently there are a lot of white cynical, social intoverts who dislike their own damn country and instead like to fantasize about a magical country with a mythical history where white people are considered honorable and women are legally rape-able. Who the fuck knows what these idiots think

Robo · « **Reply #48 on:** March 07, 2007, 01:58:07 PM »

White? Let's say "non-Asian."

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #49 on:** March 07, 2007, 02:02:42 PM »

I don't know many black people in real life who completely worship any and everything that comes out of Japan. This is something that is far more prelevent in the white male community for whatever reason. They're already on the top of the totem pole in this country, yet they want to be considered honorable and godlike too, which of course is how they're seen to a certain extent in Japan (where everyone wants to be white).

IMO this is a racial issue. I simply cannot understand why anyone would advocate censored porn featuring totally flat women who scream bloodly murder because an inch long object is in their pussy. But lo and behold there's a bunch of people who love that shit over real porn.

Robo · « **Reply #50 on:** March 07, 2007, 02:13:40 PM »

It's more to do with rejection of one's own cultural background and latching on to one more fantastic. Even if it is more prevelant among white males, you're distracting your original point of mindless Asian-worship by making it a racial issue unnecessarily.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #51 on:** March 07, 2007, 02:18:49 PM »

I said early on it seemed like a racial issue. But we can leave that at the door and still have the discussion on people in general rejecting their own culture for that which seems more majestic. But like I said, having a country which worships your ethnicity in some ways certainly doesn't hurt the motivation factor.

Cheebs · « **Reply #52 on:** March 07, 2007, 02:26:20 PM »

That something I hate about gaf. The hatred they have for America pisses me off. And anytime you mention anything negative about Japan you are lynch-pinned.

If you decided to remind them Japan was allied with the Nazi's and Hitler they'd probably ban you.

But call Bush a Nazi? FUCK YEAH!

Robo · « **Reply #53 on:** March 07, 2007, 02:29:35 PM »

How do they worship white people? If you're saying they're obsessed with American culture, I would assume that also means the hip-hop culture and so on.

I hope you aren't basing this on light-skinned anime characters.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #54 on:** March 07, 2007, 02:30:35 PM »

True. Their complete refusal to admit to the huge amounts of racism in Japanese culture is laughable. It's ok to laugh at them dumb southerners but if anyone brings up the "Japanese only" signs and shit in that country you get lynched.

You forgot the whole Irish Joker thing.

Seriously, The Departed was definitely good, but I probably wouldn't have watched it a second or third time if that Dropkick Murphys song wasn't on the "horrible" soundtrack

I've never seen Infernal Affairs, but apparently Chow Yun-Fat isn't in either movie, so why even bother watching them?

The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment · « **Reply #57 on:** March 07, 2007, 03:18:21 PM »

In all honesty, the IA films, while decent, are cheesy as hell and overall pretty "meh".

There seems to be this weird obsession with whites, almost as if they're trying to assimilate and become accepted. This has been discussed with respect to the eye surgery some get to look more white.

And with the light-skinned anime characters...lol.
