"You think otherwise? Then go watch the Super Bowl."
Can I watch 3 movies instead?

Yes that's totally acceptable. That's the jon boy option too.
― Kevin John Bozelka, Friday, 11 September 2009 17:15 (sixteen years ago)
NOTHING is worth watching six hours; that's why my best friend, who can watch a double-header without interruption, is mad.
― vulva eyes (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 11 September 2009 17:17 (sixteen years ago)
depends who's playing
― A Patch on Blazing Saddles (Dr Morbius), Friday, 11 September 2009 17:17 (sixteen years ago)
Since that six hours will have four hours of commercials it's doubly mad.
― Alex in SF, Friday, 11 September 2009 17:18 (sixteen years ago)
not if you're in the park, and since Alfred is in Miami that's easily done.
― A Patch on Blazing Saddles (Dr Morbius), Friday, 11 September 2009 17:20 (sixteen years ago)
I never mind long Oscar ceremonies, since I look forward to the event every year. People who complain about the ceremony's length act like they're under some obligation to watch it.

xp I thought we were talking about the Oscars. I've never watched a double-header at the park. I think it would exhaust me.
― Alex in SF, Friday, 11 September 2009 17:23 (sixteen years ago)
I don't watch the Oscars, but I am guessing that people just want the Oscars to be ya know better. Or if they are going to suck then at least be shorter. I think that's a legit complaint.
― Alex in SF, Friday, 11 September 2009 17:24 (sixteen years ago)
NOTHING is worth watching six hours
So untrue. Shoah and Satantango immediately come to mind and both have a six-hour Oscar telecast beat by 2, 3 hours. I'm sure there are others.
― Kevin John Bozelka, Friday, 11 September 2009 17:28 (sixteen years ago)
Complaining about the show's length is like saying the show's tacky.
So untrue. Shoah and Satantango immediately come to mind and both have a six-hour Oscar telecast beat by 2, 3 hours.
I couldn't even finish Shoah. It was unrelenting.
― vulva eyes (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 11 September 2009 17:29 (sixteen years ago)
I bet you'd watch the Pet Shop Boys for 6 hours
― A Patch on Blazing Saddles (Dr Morbius), Friday, 11 September 2009 17:37 (sixteen years ago)
I got restless at the 45-minute mark at last Wednesday's concert.
― vulva eyes (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 11 September 2009 17:39 (sixteen years ago)
Then go watch the Super Bowl.
what does this even mean?
― k3vin k., Friday, 11 September 2009 19:56 (sixteen years ago)
I read that as "you luddites should go watch the Super Bowl with the rest of the unwashed masses if you can't handle six hours of Oscar glory".

You got it wrong, baby. And kk, let's not make the first time you italicze me Reverend-esque in the LEAST, k bwoy?
― Kevin John Bozelka, Friday, 11 September 2009 20:50 (sixteen years ago)
well that cleared things up
― k3vin k., Friday, 11 September 2009 20:53 (sixteen years ago)
oscars should be presented as super bowl halftime show
― goth casual, Friday, 11 September 2009 20:59 (sixteen years ago)
I picture this being said in the same voice I hear when I read the Lefsetz Letter.
― Size-zero-brigade-embrace-token-chubby-chops (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 11 September 2009 21:04 (sixteen years ago)
Picture it in Mo'nique's voice, player.
― Kevin John Bozelka, Friday, 11 September 2009 21:11 (sixteen years ago)
why are you ruining Mo'nique
― "So messy!" (HI DERE), Friday, 11 September 2009 21:16 (sixteen years ago)
It's a direct quote. kk stepped to her ass too.
― Kevin John Bozelka, Friday, 11 September 2009 21:19 (sixteen years ago)
Even Satantango has two intermissions built in.
― boring movies are the most boring (Eric H.), Friday, 11 September 2009 21:19 (sixteen years ago)
As far as I'm concerned, next year's Oscars can be a 6-hour celebration of Mo'Nique. And very well may be.
― boring movies are the most boring (Eric H.), Friday, 11 September 2009 21:20 (sixteen years ago)
Yes that would be epic! But come on, the commercials are your intermissions.
What the hell is with y'all today?
― Kevin John Bozelka, Friday, 11 September 2009 21:26 (sixteen years ago)
Anyone who thinks the Oscars are going to get longer based off recent developments (i.e. honorary awards handed out discreetly and quietly four months before the actual show) is kidding themselves.
― boring movies are the most boring (Eric H.), Friday, 11 September 2009 21:28 (sixteen years ago)
the oscars should be presented in 60 seconds between king of queens and everybody loves raymond reruns, like powerball
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 11 September 2009 21:31 (sixteen years ago)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
best ilx idea ever
― Mr. Que, Friday, 11 September 2009 21:31 (sixteen years ago)
spread out over like 4 months
― goth casual, Friday, 11 September 2009 21:32 (sixteen years ago)
thanks bro
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 11 September 2009 21:32 (sixteen years ago)
i don't agree with the 4 months part but yeah
― Mr. Que, Friday, 11 September 2009 21:32 (sixteen years ago)
Forcing Kevin and Morbs to watch the tail end of "King of Queens" for 4 months? Diabolical!
― boring movies are the most boring (Eric H.), Friday, 11 September 2009 21:34 (sixteen years ago)
No Country for Old Men is such a retarded piece of shit.
― Turangalila, Sunday, 13 September 2009 23:25 (sixteen years ago)
Jerry Lewis has his Oscar, I may never watch again

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

hahaha yes
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 23 September 2009 23:37 (sixteen years ago)
dummies here bound to overturn one of the few agreeable Oscar results of the last 30 years.
The last 15 minutes of TWBB is pure dildoism.
― A Patch on Blazing Saddles (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 24 September 2009 00:44 (sixteen years ago)
^^ up until the last 15 minutes I thought that director might actually be capable of making a movie I thought was decent. Nope. At least he's consistent.

Let's smoke out the Juno voters and force them to watch Atonement.
― Little starbursts of joy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 24 September 2009 01:44 (sixteen years ago)
Juno voters and Atonement voters should be forced to watch better movies.
― my other display name is a controversial mod edit (sarahel), Thursday, 24 September 2009 01:47 (sixteen years ago)
newsflash--no country sucks
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 24 September 2009 01:49 (sixteen years ago)
But it sucks less than the other four.
― Little starbursts of joy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 24 September 2009 01:51 (sixteen years ago)
I'd rank them:
No CountryMichael ClaytonThere Will Be BloodAtonementJuno
― Little starbursts of joy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 24 September 2009 01:52 (sixteen years ago)
^^ agreed.

NCFOM doesn't have a guy screaming about malteds after imitating John Huston for 3 hours, THAT'S true
― A Patch on Blazing Saddles (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 24 September 2009 01:53 (sixteen years ago)
atonement should have gotten negative votes. NCFOM should have won this tho, even though i liked TWBB. contrarian sons of bitches.
― A DOG, A BARREL... RIDICULOUS! (jjjusten), Thursday, 24 September 2009 01:55 (sixteen years ago)
TWBB won because it's so fuckin WEEEEEEIRDD! and almost as BAD/FUN as Tarantino!!!
