And you know what? You are right. THE LIVES OF OTHERS is better, but because the Nerd Clique don't jack off to it....alas. HEY! I loved Pan's Labyrinth, but even I didn't say it was THE best foreign language film of the year. The Lives of Others was one I truly wanted to see, and it irks me when I heard the rumor that they are going to make an english version of it. Yeah. That is annoying. But a few years ago there were rumours that they were going to remake Cinema Paradiso with Bruce Willis and Macaulay Culkin. Luckily common sense prevailed then. I'm hoping the same will apply here.

I can''t believe Epic Movie wasn't nominated. The scene where Kal Penn eats a turd should get it the Oscar alone.

I'm not downing PAN at all....I just think as good as it was, LIVES OF OTHERS was superior. Not knocking PAN at all. As for the American remake, Nic Cage is attached to star. It's so SCREWED.

As for your comment about "ultra-mainstream"...what about THE DEPARTED? Hell, that broke $100 million last year. In fact, JUNO aborted right past that mark as well.

This year No Country for old Men will desrve and win it.

It can pass it but it still does not have that mainstream feel. It has a underground feel.
