Happy to highlight the best, Branden! And Ruffalo’s snub stings even more because the Academy STILL hasn’t nominated him … hopefully he gets a long overdue nod for “The Kids Are All Right.”

I am so glad that you highlighted this movie, Marshall. It is one of my favorites. I saw this after Laura Linney was nominated on Sundance and loved it. It was so real. It sucked that Mark Ruffalo wasn’t nominated as well.

Haha, right after i put that in I thought, “shit, i left out Winslet…hope he doesn’t realize it.”

This looks great; Mark Ruffalo and Laura Linney both look fantastic. Ruffalo is one of my favorite (and almost an under-rated) actor, and when I read he was in this I immediately added it to my Netflix queue.

It would need to be extremely well-written and it would also need Kate Winslet to round out the ’00 powerhouse actress cast.

I’m with ya, man. You know what would be a fantastic movie? One with Linney, Blanchett, Swinton, and Cotillard. And then just throw in Streep for the hell of it. It would be like “The Hours”, but with more star power and actually captivating all throughout.

Honesty, if she doesn’t get an Oscar this decade, I’ve lost hope in the Academy.

I love this film. Hell, I would go as far as to say that this might be my all-time favorite “F.I.L.M.” The script was wonderful, and the acting was brilliant. One can pretty much never go wrong in watching Linney do her work. I think it was Heather that pointed out that she even made Congo halfway watchable, that’s how great Linney is.
