Alright, Nick, this is where you can post your "Soon-to-be Oscar Best Picture nominee" slogan.

Was hoping this was an Amelia Badelia adaptation.

Vaguely interested, I guess, because it's a Mira Nair film, but I can't imagine what would inspire me to actually go watch it. This made the Darwin movie trailer look interesting.

But seriously. Soon-to-be Oscar Best Picture nominee.

Awesome. Another biopic. :rolleyes:

Nair's visual eye might interest me enough. Otherwise, meh. I expect nothing other than a couple inspired shots.

Yawn.

Probably will get nominated for BP, but Swank is already a shoe-in to win Best Actress.

EDIT: Does anyone else find it odd that the recent green band trailers are saying "appropriate audiences" instead of "all audiences"?

Swank will continue her trend of snagging an Oscar once every five years, and doing nothing but crap in between.

Sunshine music should be banned from movie trailers.

Mira Nair? Hmm.

Swank isn't playing a woman getting her ass kicked. So no further than a nomination.

Doesn't look awful though.

At least one winner of the acting categories the last 5 years has played the lead in a bio-pic and won an Oscar. I won't be surprised if she wins.

Audrey Tautou for Coco Chanel instead?

As it appears, there's no "big Oscar-y" movies so far. Outside of Nine. But at this point, who had Slumdog, Cruz, and Winslet (for The Reader) even mentioned?

Um, Invictus?

The Clint Eastwood film about Nelson Mandela played by Morgan Freeman?

It'll be nice to look at, but it looks so safe and uninteresting.

The movie theater I work at had a standie for this movie that was in one of the two hallways. And yet, in the end the movie was not actually shown there, which I took as a sign that it was indeed either not properly backed, or it sucked something awful. More than likely its both.

I've purged most of it from my memory, but this seems an apt descriptor of my experience of the film. It's like it was directed by a parking meter.
