I’m 104% right, The Dark Knight was carried by Heath Ledger’s performance, nothing more. If he wasn’t in that movie the Dark Knight would’ve been awful.

uh…John…dude….you have had Wale as your number 1 on a couple lists…uuuh…but you wouldn’t even put TDK in your top five? Sounds like a personal issue. Something is seriously “koo koo” in that head of yours.

Like….get off of the Wale cock for two seconds, wipe the robo skeet from your eyes and feast them upon a bigger and brighter world of seriously upper-echelon films like The Dark Knight.

Others? Tell that to the legions of guild members who voted for it throughout the precursor season and the critics that chimed in, making it one of the two most critically acclaimed films of 2008.

100 infinity %. And I’m fucking your girlfriend.

Check mate.

Silly silly Tapley,

I know it’s fun seeing conspiracy theories behind every tree when things don’t go the way you think they should… but reality isn’t as convenient.

I know The Dark Knight wasn’t one of the 5 best of the year… so maybe… just maybe, others thought the same without the conspiracy.

I’m 102% right… and I’m rubbing my ball sack on your blu ray collection.

By the way, if you still contend that the Academy has no prejudice against comic book movies (given the tone of your last statement in the post), well, “deluded” ain’t the half of it.

An Oscar nomination for Best Pic is a lot different than perpetuating the myth that the SAG ensemble award is the guild’s equivalent of Best Pic. So snub vs. snub doesn’t really compute here, John.

Man, sometimes it takes me all day to explain the ins and outs of awards season to you. But I’ve been knee deep in this mess for nearly a decade now and you haven’t, so, you’re forgiven.

That said, I never once said the Academy “didn’t snub it because it was nominated in eight categories.” I said it was nominated in eight categories and you made a quip, “Jeez, that’s not snubbing it.”

Sorry to go into the specifics of a personal conversation and bore your readers, but somebody’s gotta tell the truth ’round here.

I’m 101% correct.

Oh poor deluded Tapley,

First of all, I was not “Bat bashing”. I said in my post that I thought it deserved the SAG nomination for the top award.

You’re also flip flopping on your arguments. You just said:

“SAG did NOT snub the film. Wouldn’t you know it, it was the only contender to walk away with two trophies.”

You’re the same guy who when I tried to point out that the Oscars didn’t “snub” TDK because they had EIGHT Oscar nominations… you said it didn’t matter because they weren’t the big one.

Well which is it. Do the “other” nominations count or don’t they?

I’m 100% correct.
