...cool, they just follow the charts. By that rationale, Pokemon probably placed 6th in the Best Picture race.) So they nominate The Cider House Rules, The Green Mile and The Sixth Sense instead of the three real best pictures of the year--The Talented Mr. Ripley, Being John Malkovich and The End of the Affair (throw in Election or Toy Story 2 and I'd still be happy). To look edgy, they reluctantly toss in Spike Jonze for Best Director and omit Frank Darabont for The Green Mile even though the movie is nominated for Best Picture--but that just...
...married to director Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich), Sofia read Jeffrey Eugenides' cult novel about five suicidal teen sisters and started a script before she even had the rights.

But it surely partakes of the new machine's ability to cast us adrift in ungrounded cyberspace, where all the spatial and temporal...
...gasp!--a shortage of champagne? Movies that hype the end of the century, the end of the world? They're nowhere to be found. Too short a shelf-life, the executives claimed. So instead of continuing the postmodern trend launched by Run Lola Run, American Beauty and Being John Malkovich earlier this year, we're getting epic fluff--the annual flurry of "Oscar-bait...
