1. This side of the Truth
2. State of Play
3. Inglorious Bastards
4. Nine
5. Brothers
6. Shutter Island
7. The Lovely Bones
8. The Road
9. Watchman
10. Avatar

'The Informant' was originally on this list at number 5, but after seeing "Brothers", I truly believe this film should replace it. Any thoughts, or suggested changes that need to be made?

...and number 9.  Also, how does something go from #5 on a list of 10 to unranked by adding one movie? :huh:

I thought you were going to show us pictures of your allegedly "huge" tits, tia?  Do that and I'll go click on some link related to that stupid movie 300 times for you.

Natalie Portman can't act. There. I said it. She's dull and lifeless and nearly every part she plays is completely transparent and vacuous. She's had like two movies she was any good in, and that's probably because the role she was playing is closer to the comfort zone of her real personality. It's like any time she has to play a character not herself she goes dead.

All I've ever seen her in is the Star Wars movies and clips from that one movie where she's a stripper, but FWIW I agree.

She was playing a kabuki stuffed doll in Star Wars, that's hardly fair.

Which two are you thinking of MIM?  I thought she was amazing in both The Professional and Beautiful Girls.  Best child actress ever.

If she writes Languish on her tits and posts it, I'll go see Brothers and post the ticket stub

Yeah, that's why I added the FWIW caveat.

Yep those. I heard Heat was all right too, but I haven't seen it. It's the little girl roles.

Seriously though, what the fuck is wrong with you?

That movie is going to suck and ruin any chances of a future season based in the Avatar universe. :weep:
