    When the Wild Wind Blows

    The Man Who Would Be King This song is just so amazing. The riff at the start of the song (0:46) is especially beautiful and so fun to play on guitar. e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|...

    Oh, regarding the Superman reboot, Nolan is going to "have a lot of creative input" in the projejct... so that's a good sign. Maybe it will be sort of a Superman version of his Batman films - with Zach Snyder visual style. Starting to sound good...

    Yeah, the only official news is that Tom Hardy is Bane and Anne Hathaway is Selina Kyle (not even Catwoman). Nolan has also been quoted to say that Two Face and The Joker are not returning, although nothing official on that yet.

    Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 7: Group B) [abandoned]

    Re: Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 6: Group G) Pleasantly surprised with this :P I voted for CIPWM as I love the song and consider it a guilty pleasure... but I'm surprised it's beating Invaders.

    Classic cinema - thoughts and questions

    +1 on 12 Angry Men. Easily in the Top 5 screenplays of all-time for me. I find it amazing how a film can be driven primarly - almost solely - by the strength of its screenplay alone and end up being one of the best films I've ever seen. The dialogue is superb. They rarely make films like this...

    Best Cinematography I can understand animated films not getting nominated for that. The acting awards as well, since you get the visual as well as aural package with live-action actors. But there are so many animated films that are strong enough as a whole to compete for Best Picture. They can...

    "...more often than not, I believe that the people and films that deserve to get nominated are nominated... and the same goes for the winners." One general problem I have with the academy is not taking animated films seriously. There are a good number of animated films that deserved to be...

    I know a lot of people love to malign awards shows for this reason, but I think this is exaggerated for film awards (music awards such as The Grammys are another matter altogether though). While there is certainly a significant amount of politics involved, more often than not, I believe that the...

    No other actress can really give Natalie Portman any competition for the Best Actress category in the Oscars this year. Second place for me is Jennifer Lawrence in Winter's Bone, but it's going to be a shocker if Natalie Portman doesn't win it. Oscar nominees are going to be announced on...
