ButteredMuffin 1440 Report post Posted February 28, 2011 As the only actually original premise, Inception deserved it. Or Scrooge McDuck... http://www.cracked.com/article_19021_5-amazing-things-invented-by-donald-duck-seriously.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. McNinja 445 Report post Posted February 28, 2011 Whether or not King's Speech deserved Best Picture, Colin Firth's performance was mindbogglingly good and easily deserving of Best Male Actor. Good job Colin Firth, you're doing a great at copying word-for-word George VI's actual speech, of which you have the actual audio recording for. Straight-up historical films ruin cinema for exactly this reason: nothing original in character portrayal. It's funny, because The Social Network is exactly how one does a historical (yeah yeah, recent history) film. Eisenberg and Garfield had a book and Aaron Sorkin to go off of, and the linchpin duo defined the film. Colin Firth had extensive writings about the behavior of George VI, not to mention recorded audio of him. BRB, not giving a shit about actors who can follow a mold. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you had said what Rawr here did, I wouldn't have given you one. Or Scrooge McDuck... http://www.cracked.com/article_19021_5-amazing-things-invented-by-donald-duck-seriously.html The Scrooge book came out in 2002. Nolan pitched Inception to Warner Bros. In 2001, but came out feeling like he needed to make more "big" films to get the necessary experience. After the Dark Knight, he felt he was sufficiently skilled and Inception was made.

Kritik Of Being 20 Report post Posted February 28, 2011 The Scrooge book came out in 2002. Nolan pitched Inception to Warner Bros. In 2001, but came out feeling like he needed to make more "big" films to get the necessary experience. After the Dark Knight, he felt he was sufficiently skilled and Inception was made. Yes, but Nolan himself said that it was made out to be a heist film in the beginning, but he changed it into this... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
