Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Except for an occasional good western or war movie I gave up on Hollywood 'bout 20 yrs ago. Never had any interest on who was on the running or who got what. Fact is I catch myself watching B&W movies more and more.................mebbe I'm regressing, or sumpting.

Dusty Balz, SASS#46599 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I saw True Grit, 6th movie I went to in 10 years, I enjoyed it.

T. H. O' Sullivan Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 For us it's @ 142 miles round trip to see a movie. The only Oscar nominee I have seen for this year is True Grit. We head to Las Vegas, NM for dinner and a movie, or if we plan to do some shopping, we make it an all day Saturday event in Albuquerque. Most of the films I see, however, on are Blu Ray or DVD.

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hi Folks, I haven't been to a movie in years. Hubby won't go and now we live in the boonies. It's an hour drive to the closest theater. My MIL does go frequently. She said The King's Speech was great. I probably will not watch the Oscars; but will watch Joan River's Fashion Police.

The Original Bad Bob Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I saw two of 'em, True Grit and The King's Speech. I thought both of them were Oscar-worthy. For you guys that hate movie theaters, but like movies, rent both of them when you can. They are two great movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to the original post..Mebbe hollyweird is "tiffed" on account of the best movie of the year was "True Grit"?? That's actually a Utah-Modified cheap Bailey 2X wool that I've had awhile. The original Army issue hats were cheap wool too. I got a 1 1/2" ribbon from Whalemart and sewed it on and put an officers hat cord over it. It had a rancher's crease so I changed that to a cavalry pinch and voila It would be pretty close to 1872 regulation if I cut the brim down a bit but I like the shade. .

Noz Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I think it is pathetic that the film industry spend so much time and money explaining to each other how great they are. No other industry spend so much time in mutual self gratification. If you will note, the films and actor idolize have nothing to do with popularity or box office receipts.

Racer5625 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 The wife and I watched last night, first time in many years to see the awards. I told her when we heard a True Grit nomination that it would not win anything. The Oscars just don't go to westerns - not artsy, cutesy enough for that crowd. They like movies like the Black Swan better. I'll stick with my westerns and leave the Hollywood crowd to themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
