Although this thread seems to have descended into rancor, on the original subject...I had little expectation. The story itself has little drama. But the director threw his full arsenal at it, and he's quite skilled at this point, and there is almost no shot or scene that is not compelling to watch. Starting out with the conversation in the pub, which is complex, layered, total non-realistic movie speak, yet eminently watchable. A slight personal enjoyment, the tech speak was accurate and sensible ("then I had to use emacs to change the perl script.."). This was much better than I expected as well.

Do you think it stands a chance of winning anything other than "best adapted screenplay"? NT - Jazz Inmate 20:18:04 10/15/10 (1)

  For one thing, it's only October and a lot of heavy hitters come out during the holidays. And I wouldn't really know what Oscar voters might think anyway. My gut feeling would be this is not the kind of big movie favored by them.
