Until 1939.

Personally, I think it's a good idea for no other reason then to dilute the mostly pretentious films which usually permeate the category.

It's a pretty good point, since I don't usually see any of the 5 noms anyway.

Eh, I see all 5 every year. This is really going to through my predictions game out of whack. (I take an unreasonable amount of pride in it.)

Favorite critics line about Transformers 2-

"It's the teenage male version of snorting cocaine off a hookers A**"

Saw it- not thrilled. It was...ok, had moments that were amazing, and moments of pure WTF-the result was not pleasing.

Considering I hated the first Transformers movie and felt like a tool for being convinced to see it by all the rave word of mouth and reviews, I'm not likely to EVER see a sequel that is considered even by not-me people to be horribly worse.

Nephythys, am I remembering correctly that you really liked the first one?

Nephythys · 06-25-2009, 09:46 AM

Loved the first one-was disappointed in most of the 2nd. HUGE let down-

Daybreakers looks like an interesting twist on the vampire mythos. Here's the trailer.

Any stylish photos of you on the red carpet?

I heard they deleted the LaToya Jackson scene out of respect for the family, but no word yet whether it will be restored with the film premieres July 10 in the U.S.
