Today’s episode of The 404 Podcast deals with a lot of movies, which makes sense after last night’s utterly forgettable Academy Awards ceremony, or so Wilson claims, because he forgot to watch.
The awards committee certainly wasn’t lacking a sense of irony after selecting Sandra Bullock for the best female performance in “The Blind Side.” The actress also won the Razzie for worst female actor in “All About Steve.” Audience members were also surprised to see “Avatar” lose the best picture award to “The Hurt Locker,” despite the questionable activity of one of its producers prior to the event. It’s also interesting to note how the same movies in the best picture category ranked on BitTorrent, with “District 9″ earning the most at more than 12 million downloads since its DVD-quality release last September.
Tim Burton’s adaption of “Alice in Wonderland” came out last weekend, and Jeff went to check it out with his fiancee, who festively dressed up as Alice for the showing. Don’t get your hopes up though; Jeff sadly left his White Rabbit costume at the dry cleaners. I won’t spoil Jeff’s personal review of the movie, but let’s just say that 91 other movie-goers on Rotten Tomatoes agree with him.
No matter what you think of AIW, we can all agree that Zach Snyder’s new movie “Legend of the Guardians” will win next year’s Oscar for best comedy. Based on the novel “Guardians of Ga’Hoole,” the teaser implies that the movie is about talking owls…fighting in the sky…wearing Elven face masks. Check out these screenshots and join us as we purchase advanced screening tickets live on the show.
All these stories plus some a near-expired batch of Calls From the Public and a news piece about your grandmother DJing Parisian nightclubs, all on today’s episode of The 404!
