Worst Inclusion: Best Picture
Mmm... Sabin... You are a great guy but I mean - ever tried not to change ur opinions for a reasonably long period? I mean, for more than three, four minutes...
(how'd I miss this one?)
I see a movie, I sit down, I write my thoughts. I reflect for a few days and digest the film, and reevaluate. Italians don't do that? Too busy being immediately right?

Now I can't actually remember what I voted for, now. I think I ended up going Michael Clayton's more flatlining mediocrity over Juno's peaks/valleys ... and knowing that Juno would probably win this poll.
But it is Clayton, not Juno (and not Atonement), that is this year's Ray/Capote nomination. Not even so much bad as it is completely dull.

Sadly after two days of reflection, I think you're right, Steph. The first hour of 'Atonement' is masterful. The rest is languishing. 'Michael Clayton' may not say anything profound and 'Juno' is always amusing. Any chance to recant my vote and sheepishly cast it for 'Atonement'?
