My guess here is that if you are that excited about Breaking Wind, you probably aren't going to be particularly bowled over by Citizen Kane. ]]> Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:36:03 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5365&PID=47932#47932 POLL: Is CITIZEN KANE Really The #1 BEST Movie of ALL Time?? : CITIZEN KANE http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5365&PID=47918#47918 Author: atk2tonogan

Citizen Kane was a really good movie and I"m not surprised why it was chosen as the #1 Best movie of all time. I liked Citizen Kane but it's not really my favorite to be in the no.1 spot. My most favorite is Casablanca. It was a truly great classic movie. I also loved Gone with The Wind and The Godfather.   ]]> Sun, 30 Oct 2011 21:17:23 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5365&PID=47601#47601 POLL: Is CITIZEN KANE Really The #1 BEST Movie of ALL Time?? : CITIZEN KANE http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5365&PID=47008#47008 Author: Lord Naseby

I don't think it SHAKESPEARE a satire at all. Satire uses ironic sarcasm to make a statement, something SIL lacked. It was an homage film. Plus the references were anything but subtle. The priest saying "A plague on both of your houses," not subtle. In another year I might not have minded (although I don't know which). My big problem is that Harvey Weinstein lied his butt off about what kind of film PRIVATE RYAN was. 'Historically Inaccurate?!?' Give me a break! SIL had even less that was actually accurate about it. Not to mention that it managed to take other Oscars away from people who gave performances of a lifetime (such as Cait Blanchett in Elizabeth, who kicked the ever- loving crap out of Gwyneth Paltrow in terms of performance).

Weinstein controls the Academy like a puppet master. Not to mention that the Academy has always hated Spielberg's guts. When you combine the two, Private Ryan loses and Weinstein gets to go home with another Oscar.


RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Don't even know where to start trying to respond to this diatribe -- If the AMPAS "has always hated Spielberg's guts," how do you explain that he's been Oscar-nominated 13 TIMES (IMDb LINK) and has not only won THREE TIMES, but one of his wins was as Best Director...for PRIVATE RYAN! 

As for SHAKESPEARE being "historically inaccurate," it did not represent itself as being about actual history but instead was clearly a romantic fable, merely "riffing" on the works and legends of Shakespeare and his times.  

Sounds to me like you're buying into the "Spielberg is God/Fanboy" folklore too readily available on the 'Net...

Actually I would vote for Forest Gump as my best ever -- That is a great movie!  ]]> Thu, 29 Sep 2011 10:02:49 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5365&PID=47007#47007 POLL: Is CITIZEN KANE Really The #1 BEST Movie of ALL Time?? : CITIZEN KANE http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5365&PID=46818#46818 Author: SuperTeenTopia

I don't know, not every SuperBowl makes for a great showing for all teams. There's the odd chance you get that 33-3 game that should have ended after the second quarter...

I agree that the Oscars are the Super Bowl of the movie industry, but the NFL doesn't have to look back on several of their past champions with a degree of embarrassed throat clearing. I don't think anyone who played for the Green Bay Packers in the '97 Super Bowl would speak of the accomplishment with anything but pride. But seriously, would you ever come out and publicly admit that you were one of the guys who voted for Forrest Gump?

I was in a rush when I posted that. I re-checked the source and it didn't say they paid them, but implied it. There's no links, so I can't verify it. Sorry for the confusion.

I think Shakespeare in Love is a brilliant film. Considering the fact that I downright loathed the story of Romeo and Juliet and every film adaptation I've seen, I was blown away by how great the movie was. Saving Private Ryan is good too, but I've seen better war films -- like Full Metal Jacket and Letters to Iwo Jima.

Gotta disagree with you about SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE vs SAVING RYAN's PRIVATES -- I have seen both films multiple times and, while RYAN is one of the best war films ever made, SHAKESPEARE is a brilliant satire that actually expects its audience to be educated enough to get subtle references to several of Shakespeare's classic plays and favorite plot devices. While RYAN is indeed a fine film, SHAKESPEARE is a movie that respects audiences enough not to talk down to us -- an all too rare vote of confidence in movie-goers' intelligence in an age when most of Hollywood thinks we're all complete cretins!
