I thought all the Bonds were gonna be on stage tonight? What happened with that.

Connery wasn't on board, it fell apart after that

 

[Gorillaz]

Why do people act as if he's done for without Quentin?

Because he played parts in masterpieces such as this

 

[shira]

It's amazing that they've got her locked in for three more movies in a teen-girl targeted franchise. Everyone involved in that casting decision has to be patting themselves on the back right now.

They will surely figure a way to make the last movie into 2.

Is he going to use him again in every movie like samjack?

I hope so.

it already is 2

To me- Argo had zero character or emotional pull. The other two films may have been more flawed- tho I'd strongly disagree given the back half of Argo- but definitely had way more heart.

In regards to character building, Argo definitely wasn't that strong. It's more about a bunch of everyday people finding themselves in an extraordinary situation, and just doing their best to get through it. I think it definitely had emotional pull, though. It was there in any scene involving the hostages. You wanted them to get out.

I'm also a Star Wars nerd, so Argo touched an entertainment sweet spot for me with the sci-fi stuff...though the scene with the actors reading and the scenes in Iran being mixed in worked beautifully. Really creative stuff. Don't think I've seen that kind of juxtaposition in a film before.

They did, ages ago. It's only three books, they got four movies scheduled.

Looks like we wont be seeing Jennifer Lawrence in anymore X-Men films now that she has an Oscar.

To the person who said that "the other 8 films nominated will be remembered more than Argo," you have got to be kidding yourself. Do you think anyone will remember Beasts of the Southern Wild 5 years from now? I sure don't. However, I do think people will talk about the controversial history-twisting suspense thriller from Ben Affleck. As well they should. As a film, it's a fantastic ride. As a historical document, it's one-sided and inaccurate. As a piece of pop culture, it's absolutely relevant and worthy of discourse.

I didn't explicitly mean all of them, I meant most of them. And I stand by it. For various reasons, compared to Django, Lincoln, ZDT, Life of Pi (hell, even Amour/Beasts/Les Mis), personally, Argo is p. forgettable just like SLP is. Not that I didn't like the latter two, I do.

 

[Ithil]

Already locked in, she's due for Days of Future Past, they had to mess around with filming just to keep her.

 

[JohnDoe]

lmao
He had/has a solid and successful career in german films.

 

[jtb]

Because he played parts in masterpieces such as this

1) gotta pay the bills, man.
2) that was directed by the guy who directed Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. (not saying it was good or anyhting, just a fun fact) could've been good, even if it wasn't.

not like Waltz was the reason the movie was shit, anyways.

 

[Gorillaz]

Heard her in an interview awhile back and it sounded like she liked xmen more then hunger games tbh. Either way she bringing in bank tho.

Three more already includes splitting the final book in to two movies. Starring an Oscar-winning actress. The mind boggles.

She's probably contracted to do 3.

Haha "Brave" won best animation? Talk about winners that's dumber than Argo fuck yourself.

I am glad Sugar Man won, just saying.

That didn't save the world from Halle Berry Catwoman.

 

[jtb]

if anything, Lawrence's career is destined to tank post-Oscar, Adrien Brody-style.

 

[Escape Goat]

the reason I brought it up was that Halle demanded more money/screen time after she won her award

 

[Ithil]

Being locked in for two blockbuster franchises, including the leading role in one, often does that.

I feel so bad for him, he still can fucking act

 

[Oersted]

lol I've said why like two or three times in the last couple pages. Apparently she stepped on broken glass.

Sorry, quote feature didn´t show anything and thread was too fast.

I think she was tripping over her dress

So we don´t know?

Would have gone for leg injury, high on medicine. Would have explained everything. But whatevs.

 

[WyndhamPrice]

Brody didn't really even have a career like Lawrence's before The Pianist. One might argue he doesn't really have one now. Not that I think it matters much to him, he seems very picky about his roles.

If only he knew how to pick roles.

In other news, is Argo fuck yourself one of the most forced catchphrases in recent times?

 

[harSon]

Her "What's going on? Where am I?" attitude sometimes straddles the line between charming and annoying.

It's been annoying for a while now.

 

[thecouncil]

"Never go full retard" (The Village)

It's been annoying for a while now.

I know. I just didn't want to directly incur the wrath of Lawrence-GAF.

 

[Ithil]

I'm sure after the Hunger Games' BO numbers, they rushed to beef up Lawrence's role in a major way for any X-Men sequels, by themselves. I don't think Halle Berry really ever had all that much star power, despite her prominence. It seems like no one is a bigger mark for her than Halle Berry.

Damn, that is fucked. Too far, Onion.

i hope deakins sets the building on fire and sends every one of those bought tasteless fucks to their expensive private graves.

 

[cj_iwakura]

I think Argo's great so far, and as a period(re: 70s/80s) piece, great on the visuals.

For those who don't know about the Iranian hostage crisis and why many people are pissed at Argo's depiction of it, here's why:

http://www.torontosun.com/2013/02/22/argo-shamefully-re-writes-canadian-history

Basically, Canada was responsible for the majority of the operation. They made the passports. They housed the hostages. They planned almost everything and put themselves in the line of fire when they didn't have to. Argo makes it seem like the CIA did everything. That's its biggest sin.

It's still a great suspense thriller, but it does twist history quite a bit.

I thought the First Class cast were contracted for 4 or 5 Xmen movies.

Anyway, more Jlaw is always welcome.

As a period piece, it nailed it. Wait until you see the credits.

I was just guessing but I wouldn't be surprised if it was that many.

Yeah the J law hype train is catching fire right now.

No Dark Knight Rises mentions at all, huh. Even Prometheus got a mention.

Related. Never forget.

Deakins is the Susan Lucci of Cinematographers. Damn.

Last second switched out best adapted screenplay to Life of Pi from Argo, and went with Skyfall for cinematography (it was a LOCK! I was SURE!) - and those two choices prevented me from winning the pool. 2nd place. So bitter.

Called Ang Lee, though.

And for real, Jennifer Lawrence needs to just wear some fucking PANTS to award shows from now on. Jesus.
