November 28, 201113 yr Oh NO....but wait a second. we are NOT third world when it comes to the crappy Twilight. that it's released the same day in all ****** countries.
November 28, 201113 yr Viewed: November 22nd, 2011Every year. Or maybe every other year. I complain about this situation. This man — the great Leonardo — has been deprived of gold for over 15 years. It’s an injustice or a conspiracy at this point. Has to be. The competition was never good enough to come out from under him and steal it (cough, Jamie Foxx). The Academy knew that by nominating him, the rest of the world would expect gold. Fail.What’s with the hesitation? Why deprive a genius of his reward? Pretty sure after each Oscar robbery, Leo goes home, wimpers and cries like a six-year-old to whichever blonde-big-boobed-dumbed-down-bombshell he’s dating that year, before he has to man up and pretend it doesn’t matter. My heart hurts.This may be one of the most repeated mistakes by the Academy in it’s 83 years. Such stupidity. You would think that someone on that board would learn.And let it be known that if he doesn’t win this year (although it’s a little controversial, which we will discuss, gimme a minute) I’ll be complaining just like this. AGAIN.Now. Onto the film.Since I’ve opened up the doors to accompanied research, I get requests like: “Don’t see this-and-this-film without me!” And so I wait for them, and scheduling sucks (I’m calling you out, Sibling. You too, SAMBman). So movies that have been out forever are getting reviewed later, even though we all know it’ll be nominated for at least 5 golden categories.This was one of them. I was supposed to see this twisted flick with … let’s call him The Scientist. But again. Scheduling flopped, and the Project is falling behind, so I had to pick up my own pace. A benefit of unaccompanied research that I hadn’t realized until now. That being said (deep breath for those of you who just took offense), I’m do notice that accompanied research makes the Project seem. I dunno. Fuller. Happier. Funner. I like whining or praising to someone other than my research notebook.Plus the people who work there don’t look at me weird like when I ask for just the 1 ticket. Bonus!Anyways.The first thing written in my notes is: “OMG. HIS EYEBROWS.”The makeup in this film is beyond winning. There will be no other little number that could take this movie down. I’m positive Leo is wearing make up or mask throughout. Even when he’s young. His face disfigured (and I don’t mean like … ugly looking. Well, maybe). It’s not his face. And as he ages, all of Leo is completely transformed, it’s jaw dropping. Contacts in, hairline receded, obese, droopy necked and chubby cheeked, Leo is Hoover. Not only that — the entire cast, as they age is transformed the same. Armie Hammer is unrecognizable. So. nomination and win over here. Thanks.Moving onwards — and before I get to Leo. The script — not a fan. It’s cheese and cheeseballing hard. And no surprise (you’ll find out when I spoiler this) it’s been written by Dustin Lance Black. He’s won his gold at the Oscars before. For? “Milk.” And remember that speech? He was thanking Harvey Milk for his story and his movement.Apparently, Hoover in this film is a homosexual. I doubt any of it is proven. Because the premise of the screenplay is Hoover narrating his autobiography. And everything he says is acted out by the rest of the cast. He doesn’t behave or have any partners. But Armie Hammer’s character, Clyde, is so in lalala with him that it makes you question.And here’s the thing. The Academy will nominate the screenplay. Because it’s Black, and because it’s lead is a presumed homosexual. Mark my words. BUT — in my unexperienced (cough) and humble opinion, it shouldn’t be. It’s cheese and awkward. Credit goes to the actors and actresses who make the most of its cheeseballing. No offense, Black. But you shouldn’t take home gold for this. You lucked out with Penn.Segue to our actors.It might be a jinxer, but Armie Hammer is Leo’s second coming. You’ll recognize his face from, “I’m 6 foot 5, 220, and there’s two of me.” Whaddup, “Social Network.” Hammer’s been to the Oscar’s before, un-nominated. And I’m almost positive he’s returning this year without a shout out. But that’s besides the point. Not every actor starts incredible, but they can build their way to it. And Hammer is one of those guys. He’s this boldly shy partner to Hoover — DiCaprio — and all the while, in love with him and in such lalala that you ignore how awful the screenplay is and start … analyzing their relationship. Are they or aren’t they? You don’t know. When we get to the end of the film and *spoiler* he gets pissy because Hoover plans on marrying a woman, eyes widen and jaw drops because he’s angry enough to scare you. Like, oh dear God, please don’t let anyone yell at me like that. AND?This time, you’re waiting for Leo to match Hammer’s acting. Most reviews I’ve written, it’s usually the newbie who gets the credit for managing their heavy-duty role while the A-Lister blows us away. I’m not sure if Leo blew anyone away … but he matched Hammer. Only you can’t exactly tell. Hammer doesn’t get anywhere near as much screen time as Leo, so the focus (of course) stays on our understated, undecorated champion.Let’s talk about that now, huuuuuuuh?!In my opinion, there has never been a better Leo-performance than “The Aviator.” It was, for me, the biggest upset in Oscar Project history when Jamie Foxx took home gold for “Ray.” Despite my affections for an almost-musical and the ridiculously accurate impersonations in song that Foxx managed to nail, Leo was mind-blowing-ly spectacular and unmatched that year.Unfortunately. Every actor has a peak. And that might have been it.This film is not his strongest. Hell, he was better in “Catch Me If You Can.” Hoover was too uncinematic and too plain and too boring of a character, that I want to make the conclusion that maybe maybe maybe he couldn’t lose himself entirely. I feel like he’s acting. In all of his other performances, it’s not Leo the Great. It’s just the character. Here. He nails the accent. He nails the voice. The makeup helps him nail the look. But wow? He’s weak.No, no. I’m not exaggerating.He’s got the mannerisms down at least. The Academy loves mannerisms. Like he collects a stupid amount of spit in the corners of his mouth when he speaks. The way he walks is good, too. Very Hoover. But the screenplay destroys him with cliche’s and garbage jargon that you’re distracted. Why? Why would you try and win gold with this, Leo? Not cool.WAAAAAAAIT. Let me clarify. Ever notice how the host at the Oscars slips a joke about actors who want the gold bad? You need to do one of 3 things: Jewish, Royal Family. Or Gay.Guess which one happened.I feel like this film is just a quick stab at an omg-it’s-been-too-many-disappointments-just-give-me-the-statuette-already kind of role. What? The character is famous enough. The cast is Hollywood-ified enough. And it’s directed by Clint Eastwood — another Oscar King. I don’t even have to list his accomplishments. You know his accomplishments. You don’t think that it didn’t cross Leo’s mind at all when he was approached for the film? Don’t lie.He’ll be nominated (the world will stop if he doesn’t). And although I want to say he’ll win (which I say every time he’s nominated, and then I lose one of my victory-predictions because the Academy made a stupid decision) … if he does win this time, I would hate it to be now. This is nothing compared to his previous years. Nothing.Final points. Costume Design will get called out, for sure. Everyone looks so fly and so twenties. And they follow through the years, adjusting those 3-piece suits accordingly with insane precision and accuracy. Gary Roach took care of that. But he’s a rookie. Rookie’s a not Academy favs in this category. Like at all. So, maybe not. Naomi Watts was here — she managed to be as cheese as possible. Wouldn’t be surprised if she got a shout out. But, please God no. And Madame Judi Dench was incredible as usual. In fact, the relationship between her and Leo throughout the film held the only real moments in Leo’s performance. Something about that woman works with everyone. But a nomination-worthy performance? Meh.There is this one moment that deserves a real highlight, though: “I would rather have a dead son than a daffodil for a son.” SERIOUS kudos to Black for that quote. It pierced you just now, no? It hurts to hear even when it’s not applied to you. And serious kudos to Dench. Because her face, when she says it, is stone cold and straight. That if you muted the movie right then and there, her eyes would pierce you just as hard. It hurts to watch, her expression and then Leo’s reaction when he hears it, so much so, you hope it’s never repeated to anyone again. Ever.Of course. Best Picture nods solely because it’s an Eastwood Production. And because there are 10 nomination spots that need to be filled. Deserving? Actually … Absolutely absolutely absolutely yes.Told you it’d be a big review.Next up, (and at long last), “Ides of March.”
November 28, 201113 yr By Princess As to the article you posted, I see writer has come to tell one and all why Leo doesn't deserve a nod or a win while , naturally, never mentioning the actor who he thinks is more deserving of the nod /win.He tries to present himself as a fan of Leo's acting /past performances but his agenda is all to telling in his comments below : Pretty sure after each Oscar robbery, Leo goes home, wimpers and cries like a six-year-old to whichever blonde-big-boobed-dumbed-down-bombshell he’s dating that year, before he has to man up and pretend it doesn’t matter. My heart hurts.Ever notice how the host at the Oscars slips a joke about actors who want the gold bad? You need to do one of 3 things: Jewish, Royal Family.

November 28, 201113 yr Oh NO....but wait a second. we are NOT third world when it comes to the crappy Twilight. that it's released the same day in all ****** countries.ARGH, :yuckky: Don't remember me this. It's ridiculous this kind of crap movie makes so much money and even get in the first place in the box office, this makes me so ANGRY. <_<
November 28, 201113 yr WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ARTICLE? So, basically he's saying Leo did better performances than in J.Edgar. Well, I don't see the movie yet so I can't say anything by now. But all I know is that a lot of times academy is unfair with actors, directors... I remember to read a lot of stuff when Scorsese FINALLYwon his Oscar for The Departed, they said that wasn't his best film or directing and that he should have won for other movies in the past. SO WHY THEY JUST DON'T GIVE HIM THE OSCAR BEFORE? you know this things get me mad, he didn't deserved now, he deserved before... what the hell? It's not his fault that academy fail, so it's like give him an honorary Oscar later in his life... give me a break. :knives: So let's suppose that Leo's performance in J.Edgar is not his best one, but still he wins the Oscar, will be unfair? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, why not? Because he centainly deserved to win at least 2 times before, without count the times he was SNUBBED (RR, Shutter)... so if he win don't matter when or for what movie WILL BE DESERVED.
November 28, 201113 yr That guy/chick who wrote that needs to stfu and stop trying to make a joke/look how cool I am and anti establishment I am out of everything he/she says. Also, personally, I think Leo was just as good in J. Edgar as he was in The Aviator. Except Hoover is just a more understated character than Howard Hughes was. Actually, at this point, I don't even know if I still care if he wins an Oscar or not. Since...it's basically a joke that he hasn't and the Oscar is so political and stupid and etcetc. So...uggggggggh.
November 28, 201113 yr You right, bari. That article is a JOKE, bad joke.No, I want HE WINS, first and foremost because he deserves and also to shut up some mouths out there.
