The 80th Academy Award Winners

The 80th Annual Academy Awards

Here are the winners from this year's Oscars. I am sad to say that I have not seen any of these movies. The Oscars, though, are more of an artsy set of awards, not a popular set of awards. I am sure that each of these movies, and each of these performances, were great in their own right, but they were not on my radar at the time. I would like to eventually see most of these, though. I have heard good things about No Country for Old Men, Michael Clayton, Juno, Rataouille, and The Golden Compass. What do you think, movie fans?

Anonymous said...: I think Hollywood is out of touch with movie viewers and it showed this year with an extremely low viewer turnout at the Oscars. Why would someone want to watch an award show that doesnt reflect ones choices in movies.; March 3, 2008 at 3:02 PM

Movie Quotes

Here are some of my favorite lines from some various movies. If you have one you want me to add, let me know in a post.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas
The Grinch: [Hating the Whos] Hate, hate, hate. Hate, hate, hate. Double hate. LOATHE ENTIRELY!

How the Grinch Stole Christmas
The Grinch: Any Calls?
The Grinch's Answering Machine: [computer voice] You have no messages.
The Grinch: Odd. Better check the outgoing.
The Grinch's Answering Machine: [Grinch's voice] If you utter so much as one syllable, I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN AND GUT YOU LIKE A FISH! If you'd like to fax me, press the star key.
The Grinch: Hmm. Hmm.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas
The Grinch: [Takes back his mask and barks at Cindy Lou] Give me that! Don't you know you're not supposed to take things that don't belong to you? What's the matter with you, you some kind of wild animal? Huh?

Quantum of Solace
M: When someone says "We've got people everywhere", you expect it to be hyperbole! Lots of people say that! Florists use that expression! It doesn't mean they've got someone working for them inside the bloody room!

There Will Be Blood
(I haven't seen this movie yet, but this line is great!)
Plainview: Drainage! Drainage, Eli, you boy. Drained dry. I'm so sorry. Here, if you have a milkshake, and I have a milkshake, and I have a straw. There it is, that's a straw, you see? You watching?. And my straw reaches acroooooooss the room, and starts to drink your milkshake... I... drink... your... milkshake!

John Carpenter's The Thing
MacReady: "Somebody in this camp ain't what he appears to be. Right now that may be one or two of us. By spring, it could be all of us."
Childs: "So, how do we know who's human? If I was an imitation, a perfect imitation, how would you know it was really me?"

John Carpenter's The Thing
Childs: I just cannot believe any of this voodoo bullshit.
Palmer: Childs, it happens all the time, man. They're falling out of the sky like flies. Government knows all about it, right, Mac?
Childs: You believe any of this voodoo bullshit, Blair?
Palmer: Childs, Childs... Chariots of the Gods, man. They practically own South America. I mean, they taught the Incas everything they know.

Alien: Resurrection
Elgyn: I'm gonna take a wild guess here General, but I'm thinkin', whatever you got goin' on here it, uh, ain't exactly approved by Congress.

Carlito's Way
Carlito: I'm reloaded! Okay? Come on in here, you motherfuckers! Come on, I'm waitin' for ya! What, you ain't comin' in? Okay, I'm comin' out! Oh, you up against me now, motherfuckers! I'm gonna blow your fuckin' brains out! You think you're big time? You gonna fuckin' die big time! You ready? HERE COMES THE PAIN!

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
Veronica Corningstone: I will have you know that I have more talent and more intelligence in my little finger than you do in your entire body, sir.
Ron Burgundy: You are a smelly pirate hooker.
Veronica Corningstone: You look like a blueberry.
Ron Burgundy: Why don't you go back to your home on Whore Island?

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
Ron Burgundy: Boy, that escalated quickly... I mean, that really got out of hand fast.
Champ Kind: It jumped up a notch.
Ron Burgundy: It did, didn't it?
Brick Tamland: Yeah, I stabbed a man in the heart.
Ron Burgundy: I saw that. Brick killed a guy. Did you throw a trident?
Brick Tamland: Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident.
Ron Burgundy: Brick, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself a safehouse or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you're probably wanted for murder.

The Crow
Top Dollar: Childhood's over the moment you know you're gonna die.

Braveheart
Young William: I can fight.
Malcolm Wallace: I know. I know you can fight. But it's our wits that make us men.
