That Kanye West thingy with Swift... I think this voices many's opinion. (C'mon, its short! Just read it lol)

I didn't watch the show. I had a friend send me the vid clip, along with every other person on Facebook that night. But anyway... I don't listen to Swift. Don't even like her, barely like the Genre, but i do fucking hate Kanye, that dumb sunuvabitch. So if she would've smacked him in teh face, with the award preferably, i would've gone out and religiously bought every single album she has and releases in the future. I wouldn't even listen to them. I would just buy them as a tribute to her. Am… Continue

Last Year In Film: Frost/Nixon

I am an all round geek. A jack of all geek trades and a master of none and one of the facets that makes up that geek whole is political geekery. I first started to become interested in politics around the time that George W. Bush came to power as the president of the United States and so my interest has always been with American politics, which is far, far more interesting than our rather underwhelming British system, and in particular the dark, shadier side of the political scene. It should be… Continue

Gorog's top 5 overrated games of 2008...

It's that time again. Where snobbish video game websites decide what is the creme of the crop/crap so we can all blindly argue about who has the better system. With my seething hatred for the slavish dedication to "game of the year awards" this year, I decided to post a sort of 'anti-game of the year for 2008' awards. For those of you who are wondering, no, I don't have a preference for system, they're all horribly disfigured in their own special way. 5. Resistance 2 (Award for most… Continue

2008: A Film Breakdown

Wise words of Korey Koleman: "Lemme save this sh*t!" Yeah, I was working ever so hard on this when I pressed a wrong button and made it go kaplunk!. Remember! Save! With only one more day of 2008 left, I looked back and thought about the year. The good things, the bad things, films... Ahh, yes, films. Did Hollywood dish out a shmorgisbord of goodness, or was it a pile of poo? Well, it turns that 2008 wasn't just good, it was excell… Continue

What Makes A Good Film? -- Analysis of the Award Season

Award season is just around the corner, and I'm asking myself the same question I asked myself last year: What makes a good film? Is it the acting, the direction, the design, or the replay value? There are so many factors that can make a good movie that I wouldn't know where to start. What do these big time critics at these award shows consider when they cast in their ballots for nominations? What are they looking for when they want to give out those shiny golden awards? In my opinion, the big… Continue

Carlye, where do you get all your wonderful (screeners) toys?

Ghostwriter asked... I'm a bit confused here...so what else is new? When you were talking about the "for your consideration" DVD's you get, are you a member of the Academy and you get to vote or do the studios send these out to the critics to generate buzz for their films? The answer to the furst part of the question is a resounding NO. We here at spill are not members of the Academy, nor can we vote. The four of us, however, are all members of an organization called… Continue

Top 11 Mentally Disabled Characters

When I first posted this, I had received characters that I should have added. And I agreed with most. So here we go: 11) Arnie: What's Eating Gilbert Grape?

Still here is Arnie, the lovable retard played by a young Leo DiCaprio in an Oscar Nominated performance. An urban legend that I don't know the validity of is that he didn't get it because they were scared he really was retarded and… Continue

ASK CARLYLE: Will Ledger's Joker win him posthumous gold?

John said… Here's a question for "Ask Carlyle" Do you think Heath Ledger will win an Oscar for The Joker or is it just a bunch of fanboy hype? Ledger's Oscar isn't just hype. It is pretty much a forgone conclusion. While there are many out there who will hedge their bets by saying he'll probably get it, let me say without hesitation that he WILL get it. I don't make this prediction lightly and it has nothing to do with my love… Continue
