Which also wouldn't have deserved it over Shawshank Redemption.

1994 was Oscars' most embarassing year.

John Turturro wasn't nominated for either actor category for Quiz Show.
Hoop Dreams wasn't nominated for Best Documentary or Best Picture.
Shawshank didn't win a single award -- Tim Robbins wasn't nominated.
Every nominated song was from the Lion King.
Everything else had something to do with Woody Allen and Bullets Over Broadway or Martin Landau's pity award from Ed Wood.

Touché.

Shit like this is precisely the reason I hate watching award shows.

Oh, come on - the fact that Mr. Gump had a firsthand role in nearly every monumental historical event since 1950? Watergate, Elvis, etc. It's just annoying to me. Plus Forest or Forrest or whatever is annoying as hell as well.

That was the genius of the movie, that they were able to tie in Forest to all of those significant events. I like the movie but it's not my all-time favorite, frankly, I didn't like Pulp Fiction.

Not a Tarantino fan at all.

From Dusk Till Dawn has to be one of the worst movies ever made.

That's funny. We were over at my sister's house a few weeks ago, and it was on. I had seen it, but no one else had. I made them watch it because of how stupid it was. It had some respectability up until the vampires in the strip club came along.......

"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get."
(with a southern accent to it)


Best line in the movie for me.....kind of fits the posts you find here on good old Buckeye Planet. Which is a good thing.

shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.

Shouldn't have won Best Picture over Pulp Fiction

Pulp Fiction has to be one of the worst movies of all time. It included Uma Thurman possible the worst actress of all time and it was shot out of sequence, one of the worst direction decisions of all time.

Sry but that is how most of the ppl I know think of this and every other Tarenteno film.
