http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/1d7...p-from-fgump44

Hahahaha

That's so...... unoriginal. :D

thats so god damned perfect.


really - FUCK benjamin button.

fucking god damn formulatic piece of safe oscar guaranteed shit.

fuck the people who see it and are overcome by the sheer beauty and magnitude...

i hate crap like this - fuck hollywood - fuck the oscars.. fuck whoever votes on this insulting shit.

;)


Such anger I sense in the urge! Just repeat: it's only a stupid award show, it's only a stupid award show...

Urge, i think it's time for your medicine.

Having a bad day, dear?

i dont know what it is - every time i see the benjimine butthole add i fly into a rage ... that link that compares to gump says it better than i could

Having F. Scott Fitzgerald as your source doesn't hurt either. I've never really liked the Oscars, just an ego stroke for the industry, from the industry.

i feel the same way ...


i do want mickey to win though - i know he is at a point in his life where that kind of recognition means he'll be in more good roles in the future.


for whatever the Oscars are SUPPOSED to be- instead of the political circle jerk they are - Mickey has deserved one for years

I hope Mickey gets it too.

i saw your sig and thought it would be funny if they were combined :)


"sticking feathers up your butt means never having to say you're sorry" :D

It will be considered. :D

Best Picture: "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "Frost/Nixon," "Milk," "The Reader," "Slumdog Millionaire."

I haven't seen any of them


It would be nice to see Mickey win.....as well as Heath

for the record....these award shows bore me to tears....but the wife likes them

WHIPPED!!!



Newb, i have a sign for your wife to put on your front door.

:p

funny.....real funny


Its how I stayed married for almost 30 years....a little give & take.

I draw the line at "reality" TV though

Like American Idol? :p ;)

I really don't even watch that one anymore....a little here and there. I actually always thought of that one as a singing competition as opposed to these drama filled reality shows.

I'm pissed Revolutionary Road got completely ignored. Not safe enough for the picnic, I guess.

Gotta admit I was too. Leo's best work since Basketball Diaries (for me at least) and he gets majorly dissed.

I'm sure Leo will get an Oscar sooner or later.

Oh wait, hasn't he already won 1?

:eek: LMAO!!!!!! and I'm suppose to be the grumpy old man on this site huh? :D

Let me be the first to say...


WHERE IN FLYING FUCK IS THE DARK KNIGHT FOR BEST PICTURE?! WHO THE FUCK DO THESE PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE? FUCKING HELL! EVERYTIME I GET MY HOPES UP ABOUT ANYTHING THEY ARE FORCEFULLY SHOT DOWN BY STUPID PEOPLE WHO SPONTANEOUSLY BELIEVE THEY ARE IN CONTROL OVER THE FILM INDUSTRY! GODDAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh grow up, Posh..

Says the Dark Knight hater!

I loved The Dark Knight, but I could have told you months ago it wouldn't get a Best Picture nod- and I don't even know if it deserves one. It's a great superhero movie- leave it at that.

They nominated The Reader and Benjamin Button. I understand Button being nominated for Best Actor and Best Director. But the writing was pretty dull. I think The Dark Knight, The Wrestler, and Wall-E were better than the nominees, except Milk.

But oh well, didn't these people nominate Babe for Best Picture? And give Best Picture to Lord of the Rings?

All i'm saying is... If Ledger doesn't get best supporting actor.... Ohhh man... Ohhhhhhh man.




















I'll take newb's beer away and tell him the people behind the oscars stole it.

Hehehehe

I got a better one for Posh.

:D

Gran Torino got completely snubbed, eh?

You impress me. I swear I thought that link was going to be Chris Crocker.

Yikes!!

That would just be nasty, dude. lol

Yeah...I though Clint at least deserve just a nomination here for the best actor as they didn't recognized him this way before! (pls correct me if I'm saying wrong:confused: )

me too!:mad:

It's really sad to see how shamelessly they nominated fairly good/decent films like SDM & The CC of BB (wow! that's a funny initial:D ) in so many category.

don't even joke


really....not funny


not funny at all

Benjamin Button was a very, very good movie...but 13 nominations? HAH!

The Oscars are just a ruse for filmmakers to compare dick sizes, that's all.
