Meh.... I pass..... But I bet the Oscars won't.

Curious. Why do you pass? The trailer doesn't really show much from the movie. What makes you pass?

What I've seen and I know from the movie just doesn't appeal to me enough to get me in the theater. When the DVD hits stores, I'll check it out (I like Bigelow's work).

Plus, if I wanna watch an over-dramatized story about the capturing and death of Bin Laden, I'll watch Fox News.

So you like Bigelow's work (reason enough for me to see a movie in the theater usually), but you're not going to give it a chance, but you're upset that it might win an Oscar. ok

My only current complaint with the movie is the utterly moronic title. I'm just going to call it "Beer O'Clock" from now on instead.

Hah. Bigelow's got a thing for bad titles. The Hurt Locker? That one still makes my head hurt. And let's not forget K-19: The Widowmaker.

1. I do like her work, specially the movies she made in the late 80's - 90's.

2. I rarely go to the theater. If I do go is to see something "special" like for example the only movies I've seen in theaters this year are: The avengers, Dark knight rises, The hunger games, Prometheus and Moonrise Kingdom . Planning to go watch THE MASTER (Obviously, like 10 times) and DJANGO UNCHAINED. Most of the time I wait for movies to come out on DVD and check them out.

3. I WILL give it a chance... When it comes to DVD.

4. I'm not upset. I'm just tired of the Oscars always giving awards to these type of movies, I haven't seen it yet but I'm sure the academy will be all over this. On another note, I really wanna see PTA win this year. But knowing how moronic the oscars are, probably won't happen.

5. OK.

Bret Easton Ellis Tweets Sexist Insult About 'Zero Dark Thirty' Director Kathryn Bigelow
The novelist-screenwriter, a member of the Academy, says the first woman to win a best director Oscar is "really overrated" because "she's a very hot woman."

On the same day The Hollywood Reporter hosted a breakfast to honor the most powerful women in entertainment and the progress of women in Hollywood in general, as well as the misogyny target-turned-women's rights activist Sandra Fluke, Bret Easton Ellis demonstrated just how far the fight against sexism and ignorance still has to go. At 11:32 PT, the novelist-screenwriter and Academy member took to Twitter to assert about the first woman to ever win a best director Oscar, "Kathryn Bigelow would be considered a mildly interesting filmmaker if she was a man but since she's a very hot woman she's really overrated."

Bigelow, who won the best director Oscar for The Hurt Locker (2009), has a new film coming out called Zero Dark Thirty, which will go into limited release Dec. 19. It recently began screening for critics and has been almost universally heralded as one of the year's best movies. Both the New York Film Critics Circle and the National Board of Review bestowed upon it their best film awards. And I am currently predicting that it will score Oscar nominations for best picture, best director, best actress and best original screenplay, among others.

Ellis, meanwhile, probably is better known for his provocative statements than any of his films. The 48-year-old's opinions should be taken with a grain of salt, though -- he walked out of The Artist because he didn't find it entertaining but is now at work on a film starring Lindsay Lohan and a porn star.

Bigelow could not be reached for a reaction to Ellis' statement, as it came in the middle of the night. Ellis did not reply to a tweet about it.
