HCA Academy Awards - Best Picture 2002?

[Gladstone]

Dang. What a masterful list of movies from this year. Also shoutout to Chicago which was also from 2002 and actually won the Oscar. Gangs has maybe the greatest villain performance ever. Road to Perdition is Hanks at his absolute best, I actually prefer it to LA Confidential for film noir.

 

[Gladstone]

Yes, I'm with @NEsnake12 on Helm's Deep. 2:08 specifically:

Secretary. Rather easily.

Road to Perdition, Gangs, and City of God are all worthy. Gangs is one of my favorite movies due to Bill the Butcher. I really liked The Pianist though and assumed it wouldn't get others' votes.

25th Hour & Adaptation would be my other picks, better year than I thought it was

 

[Fishpo31]

I must admit that I have not seen any of these films. When looking back, I believe I spent the entirety of 2002 in a bar...actually, many bars...shaking and about to vomit

 

[RoadDawg55]

The sheer audacity and the simpler times that allowed this to happen make this a favorite

When he's in the hotel room with Tom Hanks and bullshits his way out is classic

One of the best scenes of all time. When I saw it the first time, I was taking bong rips with two college buddies and we all were cracking up. Then we had a lemon party.

I’m just kidding about the lemon party, but great scene.

We talking jail, adult establishments that one drinks at, or Xanax bars?

The adult establishment type...

Road to Perdition I feel is criminally underrated

 

[huskyhooligan]

Also shout out to the Jackass Movie franchise starting in 2002.

Road to Perdition I feel is criminally underrated

It's a strong movie, but I'm not quite sold on Tom Hanks in the role as gangster.

Hey @Logistics what do we have to do to make flying great again? Scales for the FA's and ban pours?

You are correct, sir, as usual. The Walmartization of the airline industry has led to the degradation of the flying experience. Mandatory retirement age of 30 for flight attendants and the requirement for them to be height-weight proportionate would go a long way. Mind you, I'm talking about all flight attendants being female. It is safe to say that most passengers don't care for the "gaybob" FAs, with the exception of Mr. @puppylove_sugarsteel. I think he rather enjoys them.

Also, a sharp uniform on crewmembers would help. Seeing pilots and flight attendants looking slovenly like Mr. @backthepack does not inspire confidence and it takes away from the lore of flight.

Unfortunately, we all know the truth. Even poor people want to fly and they feel entitled to "cheap" airline tickets. These are often trips they couldn't make with their cars for less than what they want to pay for the airline tickets. But, the reality is that this is the world we live in.

Gone are the day of the Clipper skippers. White trash wearing flip flops and wife beaters will demand low-fare tickets and airline management will cater to them. Cost cutting will lead to slovenly crew, 80 year-old grandma FAs, and cheese & crackers being served to passengers with a cup of tepid water.

Logistics life in these COVID days has been tough. Talk about burning the midnight oil and then some. Will contribute more to this discussion board in the future. For the time-being, I'm staying busy with trying to get vaccine shipments to all corners of the country.

Stay tuned!
