That movie looks good. I was surprised by a lot of the nominations to be frank. I find it hilarious that Tom Cruise and Robert Downey Jr. are nominated, and Heath Ledger is an unsurprising choice, and I hope he will win.
Dude, In Bruges is easily the years best comedy, even if it does take at least 2 viewings to fully come to terms with. It's so wholesome in the sense that everything meshes perfectly, the tastelessness is for once required to do the plot justice and it is very, very fucking funny. Sod it, I call best comedy of the decade.
In Bruges is probably the best film of the year in general, so i'm pleased to see it's been nominated for awards even though it didn't do so well at the box office.
once again a few movies that got released this past month that nobody saw or gave a shit about get nominated for all the big awards. if the globes didn't give The Dark Knight the respect it deserves, than i have little hope in the Oscars. i'm not saying it needed to win everything, or anything at all, but it only got one nomination and thats just non sense.
i never understood the awards bullshit. we get it, you like the touchy feely movies about life and romance etc etc. well what about movies that are widely critically praised AND make a shit load of money, meaning the people actually agree with the critics?
i love movies, and i love watching a well made film about anything, i haven't seen all their nominations yet, except for The Wrestler, which Rourke deserves the win for, but I'm sure they excellent films. But I doubt any of them were as entertaining as the Dark Knight was for so many people.

Touchy Feely movies? Dude, In Bruges has a dwarf on drugs, people being thrown out of towers, a little boy being shot in the face and a shitload of cussing. And as well as that, it has heart, and not the sappy 'I'm King of the World' sort from Titanic. I mean real heart. To put real emotion into a film with those sorts of elements is a fucking feat, my friend and as much as I loved The Dark Knight (and I did love TDK) there is no doubt in my mind that In Bruges was a better film.
In any other film it would be, but in In Bruges, the only way you could get around it is if you actually put a kid in there and a kid hopped up on drugs like that would have been more sad than funny. And when you consider the self-centred nature of Colin Farrels character (for the most part of the movie) it just seems natural for that Dwarf humour to come out eventually.
I've always meant to watch In Bruges, but for some reason I still haven't gotten around to it. Every time I go to rent a movie, I always walk by it and pick up another movie. I really need to watch this.
