    agreed, if you dont leave that film feeling absolutely disgusted you have no soul. period.

    as for guaranteed winning best song i would love it but i think it would destroy eddies street cred and im kinda torn because id really like to see one of the songs from once win....
    Agreed as well (about Once). Falling Slowly in that movie is already one of the great music-in-movie moments I've ever seen.

    A bunch of tense scenes strung together doesn't necessarily make a good story. How can I get behind a movie where the only thing even close to a protagonist is knocked off halfway through the film. To much killing without much story- that's my feeling. What's the point? The world is a fucked up and violent place and its getting worse not better? No thanks- I've got the front page of the local paper for that...


    theres things you need to see and things you dont need to see and if you think that all this killing was for no reason you obviously missed the point of the whole story and need to watch the movie again or better yet google Hermatia and the heroes flaw, maybe that will give you a better idea...

    work = work +1;

    there was like 3 songs in that movie that could easily win best song
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {

    work = work +1;

    i think that we turned a thread about eddie winning best song into a thread about NCFOM just shows how amazing this movie is for better or worse, wheter you loved it or hated it

    We could also divert this into a thread on the writer's strike- I'm going to be pretty pissed if Eddie gets nominated and then they don't even have a ceremony for him to play at. I'm still bummed PJ didn't get the nod for Man of the Hour.

    yeah totally man !! plus im pretty sure at least one song from once will get nominated (falling slowly) and for once there would be 2 performances worth watching!!!! Eddie as well as Glen Hansard and Marketa Iglova !!

    They actually played a show here in Austin not too long ago, but I already had tickets to another show (The Hold Steady). I'm really pissed I missed it. I saw them on Leno and it was pretty great.

    i had a talk about this movie on the long drive back to school today and according to my friend who read the book, the movie is spot on! just as confusing and everything... i guess that helps justify leaving certain things in... the more i argue about this movie the more i think i like it... i still wouldnt say its good... but it doesnt suck either... ill give it another watch when it comes out on video... i felt initially unsettled about the movie as a whole but more and more i think thats exactly what they wanted me to feel... the viewers kindof in the shoes of tommy lee jones character... thats my latest revelation... somethings still not right with that movie tho...

    Your buddy is right. If you take the book, open it up to the last page, you'll read Sheriff Ed's recalling of his dream to his wife.....word for word.
