Official Fuck Slumdog Millionaire Thread.

[nytemare]

I liked the film, ok, but it is not this damned good. Gabriel and WallE were robbed.

[prolesunited]

1. Bitter much?

It's a freakin' awards show

[nytemare]

2. Nah, I just blew up.

I feel much better after posting, though.

[MadBadger]

3. Springsteen and THe Wrestler were robbed

And I am bitter.

[nytemare]

5. I thought Frost/Nixon should have gotten editing.

Slumdog must just be the flavor of the day.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

4. Wall E and Milk were robbed.

Two that I saw.

Hancock should have been nominated in Action.
Oh, wait, sorry....Hancock has a PLOT about PEOPLE, besides the crashing cars, and such.

So it's not mindless enough.

[EastTennesseeDem]

6. Best Picture hasn't been announced yet

So Milk still has its shot. I guess.

Who am I kidding? If they fucked Brokeback Mountain over in 2005, there is no way they are going to give an upset to a movie with themes of homosexuality.

[Inchworm]

9. ok, there is still hope?

:shrug:

[EastTennesseeDem]

Penn, van Sant, and the film itself are still on the table

But no, I think it's apparent Slumdog Millionaire has it.

I agree with you about Wall-E. I'm gonna watch that later just to flip off the Academy. :evilgrin:

[LostinVA]

8. There isn't an "Action" category

[Renew Deal]

25. You didn't see Slumdog and you claim the other two were "robbed?"

How would you know?

[Zuiderelle]

7. Slumdog Millionaire was great, and definitely deserves what it's getting.

[PBS Poll-435]

10. Overhyped Garbage

:grr:

[Jeep789]

11. I loved Slumdog and have since I saw it early on

Looks like a lot of people agree with me.

[EastTennesseeDem]

12. Blasphemy!

OFF WITH THY HEAD HEATHEN!



























:hide:

[Lavender Brown]

13. They never spread the Oscars around though

I wish some other movies got recognition, but there's usually one that dominates. Much worse films than Slumdog Millionaire have won all the Oscars... like Titanic.

[nytemare]

16. I'm not saying I didn't like the film

but sound, editing, music?

You're right about ones that seem to dominate. They can't all be "The Departed".

[bigwillq]

14. Slumdog is Hollywood fluff

It was way, way overrated.

A cute movie but nothing of substance from a movie that had an opportunity to be just that.

[Phoonzang]

15. Agreed. nt

[gblady]

17. As someone who....

disliked this film a lot...
this is disgusting and predictable.

[OneSelf]

18. Haters keep hating

Doesn't make it a bad movie.
In fact, I quite liked it.

[IGotAName]

19. Really too bad.

A good movie that was just terribly overhyped.

Kind of ruined the Awards. Again.

Reminds me of Titanic.

[Jeep789]

20. Hmm, I loved Titanic too

Guess I just have poor taste. lol

[Genevieve]

24. ...

me too.

[Renew Deal]

23. Overhyped? It won 8 awards.

So I think the hype was just right.

[Renew Deal]

21. Did you see Slumdog?

It's tough to account for taste. Apparently you don't have any.

[nytemare]

27. Did you read the post?

Apparently not, because I said I liked the film, just not proportionate to the hype it got.

[Renew Deal]

29. You couldn't possibly have seen it and compared it to Wall-E

[nytemare]

31. For best song??

Peter Gabriel was nominated for his song in WallE against two songs from Slumdog. Therefore, I compared his nomination to theirs in that category.

And score? Button's score was amazing, as were Milk's and WallE's. Slumdog's was pretty much as most Bollywood films.

[Renew Deal]

32. You didn't say that.

;)

[nytemare]

35. I said Gabriel and WallE were robbed.

Gabriel was nominated for his song in WallE.

[Fire Walk With Me]

33. I have paid cash for soundtracks to Bollywood films

and I found Slumdog's soundtrack to be jarring and inappropriate in several places. It took the film down several notches.

For reference, my work is in sound design and music/music technology. Music is the second most important thing to me.

I'm likely to purchase the WALL•E soundtrack, however.

[Zuiderelle]

22. YAY! Slumdog won! Well deserved!

:bounce:

[tanngrisnir3]

26. The S.S. Get An Effing Life is docking at pier Something Relevant

[Lyric]

28. Nothing can top the Sean Penn win. How sad when the Actor award

is more exciting and moving than the supposedly "big" award of Best Picture. Oh well. The Academy is very good at making mistakes. At least they didn't screw it up with Penn.

:hi:

[PBS Poll-435]

30. Sean and Kate made my night

Good observation.

[Hello_Kitty]

39. Penn deserved it.

Admittedly, I haven't seen the other films but Sean blew me away as Harvey Milk.

[Odin2005]

34. You suck. Slumdog was awesome!

Get the rope, boys!!!

[Shine]

36. I heartily disagree and disapprove of your negative ju ju. Bad form.

:thumbsdown:

Love always wins over hate, anyway.

[nytemare]

37. Bad form?

Really?

I said I enjoyed the film, but didn't think it deserved to win over any of the nominated films, and I can think of many other that weren't nominated that deserved a nod over it.

It was an enjoyable film, well worth watching, not worth the majority of the statues it got.

Please with the bad form stuff. So sorry you disapprove that I comment that many excellent films were swept away in hype.

Love doesn't win over hype, I suppose, or a film like "Milk" would've won.

[Hello_Kitty]

38. To the Greatest Page with you! Wall-E was robbed, indeed. eom

[Skittles]

40. I agree

[Sultana]

41. Well, look on the bright side, no more SDM hype....

it will go away like the Titanic did.... :evilgrin:
