My wants.....

 

[batfan08]

Is Silver Linings Playbook really this good to get this many nods? I didn't see it because it looked like a typical Bradley Cooper love story.

Oh and of course no Batman. I don't care how much you fanboys love it, if you actually judge it fairly and technically, it's a disjointed, poorly written joke.

I disagree. Regardless of what "bias" I may have, it was a well written film, and a large quantity of the "plot holes" that everyone criticizes are easily filled within context. That being said, you used an Al Swearengen gif, therefore, you are awesome.

B/c the movie sucked

Two words: bull. Guess what the other one is (I guess that's seven words)? I'm cool with the movie not getting nominated; to be honest, I'm hard pressed to find a candidate for a film that I think should not be on this list, but to simply say that it "sucked" is doing the film a harsh disservice.

 

[mfoga]

Funny not once watching batman I never once though Oscar. I would actually say the same thing about Skyfall too. That doesn't make them bad films, just means they are not Oscar worthy.

 

[CelticPredator]

I thought Skyfall was Oscar Worthy. It was a great film.

 

[Master Wayne]

I stopped caring about the Oscars years ago. It's all one big pretentious, political, popularity contest with a side of ***-kissing.

In fact, I can recall the moment I jumped ship on the show. It was 2008 and the category was of best makeup in a feature film. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which was heavy in it's use of CGI on only one character, beat out Hellboy II, which was all incredible practical makeup effects for dozens of characters. Ben Button was sweeping the awards that night, and it was blatantly obvious that it took the makeup award due to it's popularity with the Academy, not because it had superior makeup effects to Hellboy, which it most certainly did not. It also beat out The Dark Knight in the same category.

I loved The Dark Knight Rises. I understand that it's hip to hate it around here, but I had a blast watching it. It may be my least favorite of the trilogy, but that is still saying a lot. I don't know about Best Picture or anything, but I definitely think Hans Zimmer was robbed (again) for that best score nomination.
But, alas, I've spoke my peace. I don't give a **** about this show, and it's freeing not valuing the opinions of others over that of your own. I won't be watching. Congrats to the nominees and I hope Skyfall takes every award it's up for, so this year wasn't a total waste.

 

[CelticPredator]

I don't think he was....the TDKR score was good, but honestly, nothing special.

 

[intothevoid]

I don't think he was....the TDKR score was good, but honestly, nothing special.

Nothing special for you maybe.

It's my favourite score of the 3 and one of my favourite scores of all time

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

At least John Williams got in

Agreed about Hellboy II, as for TDKR, well it's a refreshing change from all the ***-kissing the franchise gets

 

[CelticPredator]

Nothing special for you maybe.

It's my favourite score of the 3 and one of my favourite scores of all time

It's just the same themes repeated over and over again. Good, but he didn't do anything new like he promised. What ever happend too

"We have a new theme in TDK, that will evolve into a more heroic theme in TDKR."?

[ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0ynjjk2c7Y[/ame]

TDK remains the best of the whole trilogy.

 

[The Josh]

It was good. I enjoyed TDK more of the three. They're all three currently on my phone.

TDK remains the best of the whole trilogy.

Yup, unless Zimmer meant Deshi Pasta nerd chanting.


And Like a Dog Chasing Cars is repeated AGAIN in TDKR after Batman first shows up with the EMP except it's a tricked out remix version.



Catwoman theme was the best part of TDKR, in my opinion. But that wasn't the whole soundtrack.

 

[CelticPredator]

I'm convinced those scores only worked because of JNH.

 

[Khev]

The Academy stupidly tends to choose only scores from Best Picture nominees. Prometheus absolutely had the best one all year.

TDKR didn't have a chance, regardless of how good it was.

 

[The Josh]

I love The Hobbit Score so I admit it I think it should have been. Take that out Lincoln was the next best IMO. Prometheus was pretty good as well.

 

[CelticPredator]

Also, nothing for Looper? Eh. Oh well. Movie's too good for the Oscars.

 

[DiFabio]

I'm convinced those scores only worked because of JNH.

Could be. I was thinking that the other day. I'm not positive, but I think the more emotional tracks for Bruce, Bruce's parents, Rachel, Dent, the end of TDK, etc. are Howard's.

It's never really been made clear who's done what though but I think Howard did the emotional stuff, not the booming, action tracks. There was some great stuff in the Harvey Dent/White Knight tracks that were cut out that were Howard's.


Makes me wonder, since a lot of the themes were reused for TDKR, surely Howard should have gotten credit for it too, right?

 

[CelticPredator]

I think so. But he wanted to leave, for whatever reason. I'm not sure.

But regardless his Green Lantern score was terrible.

"unless Zimmer meant Deshi Pasta nerd chanting"








Anyway I have the Rises score on daily, amazing score, shame it didn't get recognized. The chant is phenomenal.

Haven't even heard of half of these. Wonder which person will get an award this year because it's his/her "time?"
