Lego movie in 3d on my 110" projection screen is [expletive] awesome. Almost as awesome as Tintin 3d. Two terrific Movies. Can't wait for Lego Batman movie.

Best Original Song
"Everything is Awesome" from "The LEGO Movie" (written by Shawn Patterson)

Anybody else find this ironic?

Basically, the producer had to go up to Shawn and say "We want you to write the stupidest, bone-headedly simple pop song that is literally indistinguishable from 99.99% of the fake crap that you hear on the radio."

And then it gets nominated for "Best Original" song.

Maybe if there was a "Most fitting song" category, I could definitely see that, because man did they hit their target...

Went to see Imitation Game with my daughter last night. Over $15 per ticket at West Olive. Glad it was sold out. Went to Frontenac and pd $9 per.

That post does not belong in this thread. Try "random musings," "first world problems," or "old people's obsession with gas prices."

Saw Gone Girl last night and it was incredible

[The Third Man]

Fury was phenomenal. It's like Apocalypse Now had sex with Come and See.

That's quite a mix.

In the last 36 hours, I've done:

-Life After Beth
I kind of expected more humor, but it's also slightly more intelligent than I expected. Still, not really a must see.

-Gone Girl
Admittedly, I know nothing about the book. But I thought the movie was pretty damned impressive. And it has a lot to say about gender politics.

-The Skeleton Twins
Hader and Wiig are great, but boy howdy, did they ever lay on the ham-fisted drama in that movie.

TCM aired "The Great Train Robbery" a couple of nights ago. That's a 112-year-old movie, for those who don't know. Easily viewable over the internet. The lady passengers on the train had really, really big hats.

Finally watched "O Brother Where Art Thou" - that's a great flick
