My point is, was it more deserving of a Best Picture nomination over "The Kids Are All Right"? And my answer is, a monumental YES!

... for civil discourse.

I'm not a big fan of The Departed either, but I respect your opinion.

The Town deserved more love.

Yes, in the seventies homosexuality was considered a mental disorder until the gay establishment forced the doctors to take this scientific info out of the textbooks. So, if you'd like to see the idea of the nuclear family destroyed and see what the Illuminati (and elders of the protocols of sion) want you to think about the "modern" family, than see this film. BTW, this is a well made movie and entertaining, so you will be entertained, but know what the real agenda and hidden messages are, hidden in plain site.

I can't believe I missed this post. I am going to copy and paste your post into a Google search.

I'm interested to see how many movie websites with discussion boards that you've posted that on.

Back to the movie, it wasn't mind blowing or anything, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. It's still the best "mental disorder" family movie of the year.

I couldn't help but feel sorry for him... he was living a decent (and fun) life prior to the kids' intervention, then the kids show up. He gets a taste of something more meaningful, and it's yanked away (admittedly through partial fault of his own). He's now left sans-girlfriend (that he broke up with) and with two kids he never knew existed beforehand who he now likes/loves but has to live with knowing they hate his guts.

Benning was a total bitch for the entire movie who demonstrated few qualities that would make somebody want to endure a relationship with her, Moore willingly participated in (and initiated, IIRC) the affair when she was the one in the relationship, and Ruffalo gets the total shaft for it.

You should feel sorry for Ruffalo. He didn't deserve the end that he got, but that's how that fucked up situation would have ended in real life the majority of the time. Even the way he paced outside of the couple's home at the end was very accurate, swimming in emotion, his mind racing, trying to find some shred of something that will salvage things. There was simply no chance.


Agree on both counts. Saw it last night and that's exactly what I was thinking.

100% agree. I would have tossed out Winter's Bone too.
