"You want me to jump? " "Yeah, Time Jump" IRL, Tommy Lee Jones rules so hard.

Be nice to my Men in Black. Pure nostalgia. Don't care how much the movie will probably blow.

I know. The first one was great. Tommy Lee Jones' humor is so awesome, Elfman's score is good, and Will Smith still had that charming energy. Linda Fiorentino is awesome too.

After not being nominated for fifteen years worth of Oscar-worthy scores (Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, Batman and Dick Tracy ALL should have taken the honor --and don't get me started on none of the songs from The Nightmare Before Christmas being nominated), Elfman was finally nominated for his first Oscar in 1997. 97 was a unique year for having two categories for Best Original Score: one for Best Dramatic Score and one for Best Comedic Score. Elfman was nominated in BOTH categories -- for Men in Black in Comedic and for Good Will Hunting in Dramatic. He was beaten by the scores for Titanic and The Full Monty. To this day Danny Elfman has still not won an Oscar. Five years from now he'll win for something he doesn't deserve. /history lesson

...it's also worth mentioning that in spite of his dual nominations in 97, Elfman chose not to attend the ceremonies because he was reasonably convinced that he didn't stand a chance of winning.
The Academy takes that sort of thing personally, which is the main reason that none of Elfman's subsequent nominations (for Big Fish and Milk ) have resulted in an Oscar.
This is also the reason Woody Allen hasn't won an Oscar since 1987. Well, that and twenty years worth of films that range from forgettable to downright unlikeable.

Never knew that about elfman. I still get choked up by the Edward Scissorhands soundtrack.

Match Point, Vicky Christina Barcelona, and Midnight in Paris are all stellar films. They're obviously not Annie Hall or Manhattan but they're great films nonetheless.

the academy is a strange entity. Peter O'Toole, Cary Grant and Alfred Hitchcock have combined for 0 oscars (and no, lifetime achievement awards don't count as winning... unless you consider living to be an old man winning), meanwhile MoNique, Jennifer Hudson and Angelina Jolie have all won oscars.

Time will tell for Midnight in Paris, it was released just this year. I wouldn't be surprised to see it get several nominations, and if it were to win any of them it would absolutely deserve it.

Shame on Tolkien for not having Cate Blanchett in all of his books is what I say!

Yeah, the tone of this movie looks to be completely like the tone of LotR, which isn't how its written. But whatevs, I'm going to love it.

My wife and I went and saw We Bought a Zoo today and both of us loved it. It was happy, touching, funny and super entertaining. As with most Cameron Crowe films the soundtrack is stellar and Jonsi's score enhances the overall feel of the movie perfectly.

Yesterday, we watched Thor, 30 Minutes or Less and The Zookeeper. And you know what? All three of them were WAY better than I thought they would be.
And shut up, I'm a sucker for talking animal movies. And I thought Paul Blart: Mall Cop beat Observe & Report six ways from Sunday.
