Spock wasn't upset about death and then later he was.

The character "development" is all in them just behaving differently when the plot needs them to. Their experiences don't actually lead them there.

Every time I see a new username post I'm like "IS THIS THE ONE ARE WE GONNA HAVE A FIGHT" but then they're always cool and thoughtful.

I'd even say Let It Go was Broadway style. Could totally see that whole sequence killing it as a stage show. Though part of that, again, was Menzel tearing it up more than the song itself being particularly great.

Although I will say when the trolls did their marriage song, I got a flash of an idea that I'd like to see the movie where these well meaning, sweet, but completely insane trolls decide they have to assassinate the prince because their boy has fallen in love with the princess.

I disagree with Fix Three. Given more to work with Idina Menzel can do great stuff, as we know from Wicked. Your Fix Two basically turns Elsa into Elphaba anyway, and Let It Go is essentially the same character beat as Defying Gravity. In fact I'm guessing that's at least part of the reason they cast her.

Otherwise, love it. I think you get to the heart of the problem -- overall the whole thing is really underdeveloped. Lots of great stuff here, but it all feels really vomit-drafty. Especially agree with discarding the trolls, because really wtf.

Olaf has to stay though.

As Trey pointed out, there's a difference between being depressed (aka really sad because something sad happened) and having depression, which is something that hits for no reason at all.

The Oscars are masturbation.

And masturbation is fun.

Haha, I probably called it. I said IRON MAN 3 was the one we dismissed as "meh," which meant it'll not only get nominated but probably win.

I, too, am still pulling for GRAVITY. Also, the GRAVITY score is the first score in years I actually had to run out and buy immediately, so yeah.

STAR TREK's nomination makes perfect sense given the handicap that the VFX branch has a huge ILM contingent. Though it's surprising then that PACIFIC RIM didn't get it -- they probably split the vote.

As an anti-shitty patron activist, I'm gonna go on record as saying I find this excessive.

4 should be fine. I think last year I got there around 6 and was very near the front of the line.

But yes, it's open to anyone who hops in the standby line, which is what fills up the seats that are left after the Academy members get the good seats.
