TrekBBS Academy Awards #19: Best Picture, 1999

[Harvey]

No, The Ice Storm was released in 1997. I'm just saying that I think it's superior to American Beauty, even though the latter got far more attention and awards glory.

Oh, my bad. Not getting enough sleep these days.

The Green Mile, as it was such a great movie.

 

[Yoda]

I didn't see The Insider.

The Cider House Rules was pretty decent, and I'm not really the pro-choiciest person out there.

The Green Mile was OK. Kind of disappointing to me really, my brother had hyped it, and I was expecting something on the level of Shawshank and it just wasn't.

The Sixth Sense was once again, OK, though I was spoiled on the twist.

But American Beauty? What a piece of crap.

The only movie I can think of in the last 10 years that is in the same league of overratedness is No Country for Old Men.

The Insider Good film with some nice performances in it.

 

[Star Treks]

Speaking of possibly overrated...

While it's decent, I never really got into Being John Malkovich. I thought Adaptation was absolultely amazing, and Eternal Sunshine is one of my all-time favorite movies of the 2000s; and while I haven't seen Synechdoche yet, I think I'll like that too.

But for some reasion, Malkovich just didn't really excite me. I dunno why. Maybe I'm just missing something.

I agree completely on all counts.
