Um, RIP? She was 85 and her heyday was even way before my time. Not quite the same as when someone whose career you've really followed passes at a relatively young age.
But its a testament to her that I (and I think a lot of other people) even know who she was, considering that I don't think I ever saw any of her actual work except in TV clips.

Yeah if it was a sudden or tragic death you'd get more talk about it but given that I'm not the biggest fan nor did I get to experience her in her prime there's only so much to say about an old woman dying basically of old age.

She was before my time (Temple) & her type of movies never interested me.
When my son was younger, he hated the commercials they ran on the Cartoon Network advertising her career retrospective on DVDs. He was such happy go lucky little guy but whenever that commercial came on he'd say, "I Hate That Commercial!".

I guess you mean separately.
Seth hasn't run out his good will with me yet. The funny parts in 50/50 were really funny. Glad that whole team is doing something else again.
Franco may just be an acquired taste and that's only cuz of all of the other stuff off screen revealed about him. His acting is solid enough. I wish he'd pick better roles but he likes his weird and sometimes just plain bad choices. He's like a b grade Johnny Depp with a mix of Nic Cage.
Together they may be stretching it. They're not Ferrel and Riley or Vaughn and Stiller/Favreau/Wilson funny or reaching their limits yet but they're getting there.

50/50 was the last good thing Seth has done from what I can remember.
this is the end was dumb. My wife & were bored to death after the end of the world occurred within the first 10 mins or so. We kept expecting it to get funnier & when the end came we looked at each other like huh? Felt like I got a hand job without getting the happy ending...

Wait, so because Leo's great in pretty much every movie of the last ten years, his job in Wolf comes up lame compared to other actors? Leo was phenomenal, I guess he's the Peyton Manning of movies. On a different level than everyone else but because he does it every year it's not appreciated and is standard.

John Travolta Has Had Meetings About Playing A Bond Villain In The Future
Eh, just from reading the title I'm thinking Swordfish, Punisher, The Taking of Pelham 123, and what he did in Killing Season. Travolta's gravitas tends to wax and wane. I don't know what kind of Bond villain he'd really be but I wouldn't be surprised if the movie ended up bad.

I agree.
Phoenix and Leo were both great in their roles, but neither transcended above your typical Oscar-nominated film.
Matthew McConaughey completely killed it. Chiwetel, he knocked it out of the park.
I still think the story of Ron Woodroof is the favorite going into the Oscars, but as venom said, Ejiofor winning will not be an upset.
Leo, Phoenix, Bale, Forrest, they were all great, but Matthew and Chiwetel were far superior.
And that's coming from someone who's favorite film in 2013 was probably Her, and the performance in WoWS was probably my favorite from Leo.
Chiwetel and McConaughey were that good.

Phoenix didn't transcend the "typical" Oscar role?
Sorry can't agree with that, he definitely did in my eyes. The man spends half of his screen time alone, in a relationship with a women that isn't there, not very typical IMO.
I think he was better than everyone else besides maybe McConaughey
