Anyone seen Oscar winner 'Slumdog Millionaire'?? And just when did Kate Winslet become so highly regarded?? And, cynical as it maybe, had Heath Ledger NOT died, I'd put money on him NOT getting that Supporting Actor Oscar.
Is that a double-negative - or just simply negative??!!

Heath Ledgers gonna be a hopeless hippys hero as his last movie(yet 2 b released) is about a trippy scientist who takes people on a journey through time that has has unexpected twists and turns, he derservd to die as it sounds like the GE bomb etc etc to me or just another annoying passive agressive hippy, 'don't touch my dog!' 'stop being sick!', 'taking medicine is bad!' or saying awww 2 everything while their house burns down around them, they're thicker than bricks, add: i am part hippy so i hate myself too fuckyou, Winslets been taken seriously since she showd her boobs in Titanic, shows wat a titanic hollywood really is, asian men should really stop being so arrogant and burning witches and when did being sympatheic towards naziism and facism in germany become ok, oh wait BMfuckinW

Yeah, I'd say Heath Ledger pretty much got his oscar etc due to him dying! It'd be interesting if you could go to an alternative reality, where he didn't die and see what the outcome was!

I wanna know how much those kids get paid in the end for Slumdog! I'm betting they'll get fuck all from it! Even though it'll be making God knows how many millions...

They're getting free houses and shit from the Indian govt, how could they not as it's been seen as an Indian movie, heath wazzzz brilliant as The Joker in an unsually dull movie but i fee lhis madness may have also taken away from sharing, ah well, brilliant!

I tend to ignore awards shows and announcements but I am keen to see Slumdog Millionaire. Probably will next week if it lasts that long in the local movie theatre.

i'm a glamour boy but ya wouldn't know til i start dancing or behaving badly, i think i'm in luv with the flicks but i luv music more, wanna see gran tarismo but i probably need a change etc

why haven't they been shown on main telly *sigh or was i the last off the boat as it were but i haven't left the house, been toooo busy ugalug

Mmm... Houses you reckon? Surprised you believe what any government has to say Blair

I'll believe it when i see the bricks and mortar, well theres @!'s on bbc now, wat next your're mum's a punk rocker oh wait.

Houses? They should be getting millions of $... considering how much that movie is gonna make! Those hollywood actors get paid like around US$20,000,000 a movie...

least its not a slum eh or shot but they probabaly are getting someit but thata how contracts freek u over, it might actually be going to an 'education'.

I reckon Heath Ledger was kinda cute... not that'd i'd wanna get it on with the dude now

man where have u been 'WHY SOo SERWIOUS!' must b going through a movie schizo phase, have you ever danced on the red carpet by the flicker of the pale moonlight, mayb u cud dance on his grave, he'd like that oh wait that sez i most likely believe in spirits, bah humbug

man i must find the internat banal(but useful), i talk so much shit with my fingers, shitfingers theres a new one bit gumby meh, mayb i just like creativity hmmm 'who the F cares bjob', yes yes

Sooooooooooooooo..... HAS anyone seen 'Slumdog Millionaire' yet? As hard as it is to believe, the Taumarunui Cinema has actually managed to get the film in the YEAR OF ITS RELEASE!!! Unreal!! Opinions anyone????

I enjoyed 'Slumdog...' Dunno if it was really worth the eight (or however many) Oscars it got though... Neat story, some good photography - Danny Boyle's come a long way since 'Trainspotting' which was a modern-day classic if ever there was one.
It's pretty grim in parts - least of all the bit where a kid's eyes get burnt out so he makes more money begging on the streets...

I saw it some time ago with my Mexican brother-in-law. It felt a little uncomfortable watching it with him as he's lived in places where he has been around poverty daily where young children are working by selling small goods like chewing gum.

We both enjoyed the movie though.
