Pic of the Day: “I think we can do nothing to stop the march of time.” “Believe me, I don’t know who is going to win this war in the end, whatever it is will be the end of the Rauffensteins and the Boeldieus.”
Pic of the Day: “Visions are worth fighting for. Why spend your life making someone else’s dreams?”
Pic of the Day: “Remember, you will only have time for just one shot. If you need another, the risk is yours.” “I don’t take risks.”
Pic of the Day: “Ready are you? What know you of ready? For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi. My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained. A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. This one a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away… to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph! Adventure. Heh! Excitement. Heh! A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless!”
Pic of the Day: ♫ “I never meant to cause you any sorrow / I never meant to cause you any pain / I only wanted to one time to see you laughing / I only wanted to see you / Laughing in the purple rain.” ♫
Pic of the Day: ♫ “Cruella De Vil / Cruella De Vil / If she doesn’t scare you / No evil thing will / To see her is to take a sudden chill / Cruella, Cruella / She’s like a spider waiting / For the kill / Look out for Cruella De Vil.” ♫
Pic of the Day: “I should tell you this.” “What?” “I saw your wife in the street yesterday.” “So what?” “She was with some guy. Probably a friend. Just thought you should know.”
Pic of the Day: “What have I done, Alfred? Everything my family… my father built…” “The Wayne legacy is more than bricks and mortar, sir.” “I wanted to save Gotham. I failed.” “Why do we fall sir? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up.” “You still haven’t given up on me?” “Never.”
Pic of the Day: “Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become your character. And watch your character, for it becomes your destiny. What we think, we become. My father always said that. And I think I am fine.”
Pic of the Day: “Remember, once you’re inside you’re on your own.” “Oh, you mean I can’t count on you?” “No.” “Good!”
The Oscar Quest: Reconsidered (Best Supporting Actress, 2013-2014)
The Oscar Quest began in May of 2010. I finished about fifteen months later, and wrote it up for this site. That was essentially the first thing I did on here. Five years have passed since then. I’ve grown as a person. My tastes have changed, matured (or gotten more immature, in some cases). So it feels fitting, on the five year anniversary of the site and of the Oscar Quest, to revisit it.
I want to see just how my opinions about things have changed over the past five years. I didn’t do any particular work or catch-up for this. I didn’t go back and watch all the movies again. Some I went back to see naturally, others I haven’t watched in five years. I really just want to go back and rewrite the whole thing as a more mature person, less concerned with making points about certain categories and films than with just analyzing the whole thing as objectively as I can to give people who are interested as much information as possible.
This is the more mature version of the Oscar Quest. Updated, more in-depth, as objective as possible, less hostile. You can still read the old articles, but know that those are of a certain time, and these represent the present. (more…)

Pic of the Day: “Sir, she just rolled her eyes at us!” “All right, make a show of force, I don’t want to have to put the foot down.” “No! Not the foot…” “Riley, I do not like this new attitude.” “Oh, I show you attitude, old man!” “No! No, no, no! Breath!” “What is your problem? Just leave me alone!” “Sir, reporting high levels of sass!” “Take it to DEFCON 2!” “DEFCON 2!” “I don’t know where this disrespectful attitude came from.” “You want a piece of this, Pops?” “Yeah, well…” “Prepare the foot!” “Keys to safety position! Ready to launch on your command, sir!” “Just shut up!” “Fire!” “That’s it! Go to your room!” “The foot is down. The foot is down. Whoo!” “Good job, gentleman. That could have been a disaster.” “Well, that was a disaster.”

Pic of the Day: “What did you do for your birthday?” “Nothing.” “Oh come on, you must have done something.” “Nope. Woke up, felt like shit. Went to work, felt like shit.” “That’s called a hangover, Amigo.”

Pic of the Day: “I got it! I got it!” “You do?” “We’ll work up a Number SIx on ’em.” “’Number Six’? I’m afraid I’m not familiar with that one.” “ Well, that’s where we go a-ridin’ into town, a-whompin’ and a-whumpin’ every livin’ thing that moves within an inch of its life. Except the women folks, of course.” “You spare the women?” “Naw, we rape the shit out of them at the Number Six Dance later on.” “Marvelous!”
