    3. Those Academy Idol results. Ugh.

      That was a fun podcast though. Lots of interesting perspectives on Les Mis and Django to say the least.

    4. Gotta love it everytime Robert comes on the podcast. I don’t always agree with him, but he’s a spirited debater for sure, and I love how he can always question group think when it comes to movies. Great podcast guys.

      As for me, when I look towards the new year, outside of the films that you guys mentioned, I find myself anticipating “Oz: The Great and Powerful” and “Only God Forgives”. I’m a big fan of the Oz stories, as well as James Franco (who I believe has two or three other movies coming out next year), and I loved “Drive” so much that I’m anticipating another Refn/Gosling collaboration.

    5. Glad to see The Master depart. It really deserves to go. It is a bad film. I’m sorry for all the critics who love it, but the public doesn’t and this time the public is right.

    6. Django is Tarantino derivative more of the same. Time to find something new other than revenge. Acting is great, the movie is not. Anyone who thinks Les Mis is bad is wrong, wrong, wrong. There are flaws as a result of too little time and Hooper trying to crowd too much into too little, but the acting is simply the best there is this year for Jackman who as usual makes every film he is in better simply because he is there, and this year he should get the gold if only for one more save.

    7. And just to top it off, Hugh Jackman should walk away with the Oscar unless DDL’s machinations can actually sing Lincoln.

    8. And just to top it off, Hugh Jackman should walk away with the Oscar unless DDL’s machinations can actually sing Lincoln. You poor souls don’t don’t know that Brigadoon cuts half the songs from the stage. You really need someone who knows musicals because you are really out of it.

    9. Wishing you could delete some of the stuff you write and for a New Year’s resolution please get a woman on this site and to not be so defensive about the movies I deeply love even if Les Miserables is incredible. Beyond all of that have a truly happy new year that blesses all the people you love.

          • They contribute as much as they’re able to. No one is stopping them from ever posting an article or coming on a podcast…
