Nah. Not his best film by far. Now, the first 2 hours were great, but it lost it's way in the last 30 min, then laughable in the final 10 min. There was laughter in the theater during those last events cause it was just so much and got a bit silly what was going on there.

Cowboy: Friend? Hell, I got lots of friends.
Doc Holliday: ... I don't.

*shrug* To each his own. It was by far the best new film I saw in 2006 (that including Little Miss Sunshine, which wasn't bad either, btw).

Ya, but I wish I knew about all of LMS Arkin's non stop F-Bombs before I took my nieces to see the film. I saw many good flicks that didn't make the nomination this year; boring year for films. My personal fav was the Illusionist.

IMHO the last 30 minutes was the difference between a good movie and a great movie.

All in all the awards were cool, but there were too many montage presentatons and while I like Ellen G., I have got to say she was not a great host/MC. My personal recentfaves in that dept., are Steve Martin and Jon stewart.

I thought Ellen did an OK job.
But based on his short bit during the show, I think Seinfeld might be a good choice!
Really.

It is also the most thankless job in Hollywood.
