    I like RT, I think they are probably the most accurate of the critic style reviewers, but you still have to deal with a lot of indie movies being overrated on their scale.

    Right.

    E.T., Star wars, Indiana Jones were all ignored.

    Cool to see the Hurt Locker win, loved that film. And Avatar, come on....it's very pretty to look at, but it's nothing special. The only award of the night that I thought ehh, I'm not sure about that one was best actress. I know people loved Sandra and the story, it's heartwarming. But I thought it should have went to Gabourey.

    I mean... I'm sure it's good, but I just can't imagine it being "Best Picture" good. Admittedly I haven't been on the ball this past year in terms of seeing movies like I normally am, but Idunno. I'm not saying Avatar should've won by any means. I thought it was enjoyable enough, but again, I'm not sure about "Best Picture".

    With all the hype I just feel like I'll inevitably be disappointed.

    There is no way that Hurt Locker was the best movie.

    Hurt Locker was not the best pic. Inglourious Basterds by far. I liked Hurt Locker, it just wasn't anything all that special. Kind of ridiculous that it won. Also, Avatar should not have won either. The special effects were amazing, but the plot and characters were forgettable. Ten years from now, Basterds will be looked at as the best film of last year and Hurt Locker won't be remembered.

    A safe movie that ends with
    a man putting down his infant son, declaring that as you grow older you only love one thing, and [implied] "Sorry, kid, you're not it." Next shot, he volunteers to go back into the hellscape of war, fully aware of its pointlessness.
    You think that's safe?

    I didn't see Hurt Locker, but I though Inglorious Basterds was just okay. Generally, I like Tarantino, but he's getting to the point where you've seen one, you've seen them all. I understand this can be said about a lot of directors/creators (Burton, M. Night, etc.), and Tarantino's are usually entertaining, but short of the actor who won the Oscar, and a chuckle from Brad Pitt's accent for the first second...just didn't do it for me.

    It probably didn't help that I was also watching (for the first time) Band of Brothers when I saw Inglorious Basterds.

    If Inglorious Basterds is the most remembered film of last year, than Band of Brothers is the greatest thing ever produced (maybe, anyways). In either case, one presents the war in as real, thoughtful, gripping, entertaining, violent, heartbreaking, well acted, beautiful, amazing a way as possible. And then there's Inglorious Basterds. Entertaining? Sure. Violent? Right, as Tarantino's always are. But otherwise kind of smug....in that way his movies tend to be.

    I didn't see a lot of the Top 10 movies. I saw Inglorious Basterds, Avatar, Up and District 9. I thought Avatar, Up and District 9 were all much better than Inglorious Basterds. If I had to pick one out of that group that I thought was the best, I'd say District 9 - just such a unique movie with a gripping story.

    it is sad that poetry isn't more appreciated.

    I agree. However, it wouldn't be poetry if it were Bruckheimer produced and Bay directed to appeal to the masses.
