Not to slag on either of those movies, but five years from now, Fleck, Dayton, and Faris will be directing episodes of "Law & Order" while Rian Johnson shares a Xixax forum with Fincher, Aronofsky, and Soderbergh.  I'm not saying I'm bitter, but yes, yes, I am bitter.
That's what fiction is for. It's for getting at the truth when the truth isn't sufficient for the truth.

agreed.  this was the one category where i was really disappointed.  i can't believe that Half Nelson sneaked ahead of Brick.  i don't remember everyone talking about that earlier last year, i think everyone must have rented it and thought it was gritty and confused performance with film.  or it could've been the late swell of Brick-lash.  oh well.  a year ago we were all in love though, werent we?

i also wish Monster House and Mission: Impossible III could've lost this category too.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

I agree with Xixax only here.
Raven haired Linda and her school mate Linnea are studying after school, when their desires take over and they kiss and strip off their clothes. They take turns fingering and licking one another's trimmed pussies on the desks, then fuck each other to intense orgasms with colorful vibrators.

i rented half nelson expecting a great performance and got more, i got a great movie. the way this film combines the inner experience of his main character with his sorroundings, and organically links his personal life with his environment and sociopolitical condition it's a lesson for all the "pursuits of happyness" in this world,,,....-.-mn
