<p>I'm not sure if screeners is <em>really</em> the issue though, enough people saw it for it get nominated as best film, it's just the other nominations it missed out on that cause some to wonder whether race plays/played an issue.</p>

<p>Nominations are different from getting people to actually vote for the film. If you haven't seen the film, you won't vote for it.</p>

<p>Perhaps those that did see it were uncomfortable with the portrayal of LBJ (Director just made stuff up)?</p> -

<p>Nothing but the best for the Fern.</p> -
<p>I watched "Need for Speed" last night (yea yea, i know, but there's fuck all to do when the wife is away for work). As expected, it is completely ridiculous, the "plot" is absurd, and full of more holes than Sonny Corleone, BUT, goddam it, i was actually pretty entertained. It looks pretty cool, the Mustang is fucking sweet, they wreck some (fake) supercars, and the bad guy loses. It's probably (ok definitely) too long (2 hours for a shallow cheesy race movie is too long). Needed hotter chicks and some titty to up it a level, but i guess it was marketed at kids. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Basically it's about the worlds greatest street-race driver, and his mates, who are also the world's greatest custom car builders, have to get revenge on some rich dick who killed one of the guys from One Direction. The way they get this revenge is by beating him in the world's bestest street race. The middle bit is basically reckless endangerment x1000. Don't think too hard. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's still better than The Robbed and the Furious. </p> -

<p>Why the need for revenge? He did the world a favour.</p> -

<p>Watched The Wrestler the other night. Fantastic movie. That Sean Penn won an Oscar instead of Mickey Rourke is disgraceful.</p> -
<p>Indeed it is. Top shot that</p>

Yep , still looks hot these days too . Not quite famous enough to have decent career but famous enough for people to sit through her movies because she will get naked. Alyssa Milano was in a similar situation a few years back too. -

<p>Yep, theres a whole campaign thing where they send out screeners WAY in advance, then contact the voters to check they've watched it, have screenings for members with the cast & directors in attendance, put massive ads in all the LA papers etc basically do everything they can to ensure as many voters as possible see the film. Its the sort of thing Harvey Weinstein is legendaryily good at. The Selma guys couldn't be even arsed sending out screeners on time.</p>

The sex scenes in bound are rubbish.

<p>I love them so much. If I could choose one company to work at, feck Apple or Google or Tesla or Space X. Asylum all the way.</p>

<p>"Of the twenty-six films The Asylum will release in 2013, only five will mimic Hollywood tentpoles. The remainder is a grab bag of B-movie genres: schlock horror, raunchy teen sex comedies, raunchy stoner sex comedies, Lifetime movies of the week, and puppy-themed Christmas films. And then there are the shark movies: <i>2-Headed Shark Attack, Sharknado,</i> the entire <i>Mega Shark</i> franchise. In 2007 the team opened Faith Films, which produces apocalypse movies that closely resemble their other apocalypse movies, but with more God. "<em><strong>The only thing we haven't done is straight drama," says Rimawi. "In other words, good films,"</strong></em> adds Paul Bales, 48, the third Asylum partner, who joined seven years ago to manage operations and keep the books in check."</p> -

<p>I saw an interview with Samuel L Jackson last night and he was explaining its awkward apologising in advance for getting "excited" in a sex scene and even more awkward apologising to the lady involved for not getting "excited".</p>
