I wouldn't vote for any of these. Also, Meri, you can just click view results.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Ice Pirates was awesome.  Solarbabies is unwatchable even as far as bad movies go.
PDH!

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

I thought that one chick who was also in The Lost Boys was hot in Solarbabies.

Haven't watched any of them. Where's Hobbit or Cloud Atlas?

Only watched Django Unchained.

Life of Pi received quite unflattering reviews over here (mostly along the lines, "Goes to prove that the books can't be turned intoa  movie.").
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Looks like Argo is really a heavy favorite now that it's swept the Guild awards.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I've seen Argo, Les Mis, Django, Lincoln, and Zero Dark Thirty. Of those, I would probably vote for Zero Dark Thirty.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

To be honest I don't care anymore. I watched Lincoln and Django and liked both. Movies all spend the first half hour trying to get me to like the protagonist and I'm a misanthrope and am incapable of liking anybody that doesn't have a set of 38DDs  within 30 minutes.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Man, fuck Les Mis.  It's a shitty fucking musical.  The Liam Neeson film version is great.  The Depardieu version is great.  This whole musical schtick is fucking trying.
What I speak out of my mouth is the truth.  It burns like fire.
