  • i doubt the person who wrote this has actually seen cool hand luke, north by northwest, or the usual suspects.

  • The Dark Knight didn't get nominated because the Academy correctly saw it for what it was: a summer popcorn blockbuster. And don't even get me started on the farce that was giving Ledger an Oscar posthumously.
