Not that P&P in mediocre... but David Poland's predicting skills sure are.adam k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13485604493059621307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1132027926992257032005-11-14T23:12:00.000-05:002005-11-14T23:12:00.000-05:00I know!

That was a headscratcher. And ahead of Ang Lee and co was very strange. I still say Ang has a better shot that the movie, but I am gradually thinking the movie will indeed be nommed (I am predicting it but it's a shaky decision).<BR/><BR/>His comments about Munich were, quite literally, flabbergasting. I can <I>sort of</I> understand the "it'll win Best Picture" thing he's doing despite his bad track record on that sort of thing (Phantom of the Opera) but yeah that whole deconstruction of the genre is bizarre!<BR/><BR/>But, still, the thing that puzzled me most was his comment that appears next to Keira Knightley on the actress page. He has her placed #9 with this little ditty beside:<BR/><BR/><I>"Proud to have a Globe nod, Academy often prejudiced against mediocre movies"</I><BR/><BR/>:0<BR/><BR/>WHAT. THE. F...<BR/><BR/>Again, he's making comments on movies he hasn't seen. Or, I'm assuming he hasn't seen it. Or even read any reviews for it. He should check out Rotton Tomatoes.<BR/><BR/>-GlennAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1132012509536837852005-11-14T18:55:00.000-05:002005-11-14T18:55:00.000-05:00"Brokeback Mountain" has a classical structure and..."Brokeback Mountain" has a classical structure and it's a beautiful Ang Lee's work.

I just have a feeling, though. I know it will be a big deal.<BR/>If the NBR doesn't go for it, though, it could be in trouble.adam k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13485604493059621307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-1131991972233733552005-11-14T13:12:00.000-05:002005-11-14T13:12:00.000-05:00Poland's been confusing his opinion of the film wi...Poland's been confusing his opinion of the film with general reaction for some time.

I a...I seriously question David Poland's judgment. I actually don't think I much like him anymore, if I ever did. This guy thought Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was a brilliant film, and that Depp was oscar-worthy in it. <BR/>Um, OK. If you say so.<BR/><BR/>And now he's touting Munich and Geisha as frontrunners, and leaving Brokeback Mountain out of the mix entirely. I don't get that. That lineup is WAY too conventional... and without enough though behind it. I honestly think Brokeback will be the film to beat, though it may be beat by Munich. All awards season, no one will be able to stop talking about it. It is subtlely political but not overtly political (it is a LOVE STORY) like all the winners he mentioned. And it is deeply American and not a bit international. And has already been embraced by everyone who's seen it.<BR/><BR/>I agree with Nathaniel that Geisha will probably miss, and I think it will be Brokeback, Munich and Walk the Line fighting for votes, with possibly something else thrown in with a big fanbase.<BR/><BR/>I also am miffed that he's all "deconstruction of the thriller genre" before seeing it, but then I am already calling Brokeback a deconstruction of the western and the classic romance, so whatever. But at least people have SEEN that.adam k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13485604493059621307noreply@blogger.com
