FACADEMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!2013 nominations

(Facademy: as in, fuck the academy awards*)

For those of you who have read previous incarnations of the Facademy Awards, you are well aware of the basic premise. For those of you who haven’t, here is a brief summary:

This is solely based on movies that A. My cousin and I saw or B. Movies we will see in the very near future [sorry Amour, no nomination for you].

Agree, disagree, comments, concerns, donations at the bottom.

Some of these nominees are a stretch, but hey, sometimes you can barely find enough films to fill a category (especially when you aren’t being paid to watch them or watching them for free).

*side note- me and the homeboy mota actually respect the Oscars now, but we’re keeping the name because it has been the name of the awards from the start (also: Mickey Rourke!!!!!!!!!1).

But I won’t keep you from what you are here to read any longer. Direct all concerns to @ mrstealurjosie or @ raythar.

So here they are:

Best Quote

1. “Well… sometimes I have the feeling I can do crystal meth, but then I think, mmm… better not.”- Fat Amy

2. “I know this might sound crazy from a guy that’s in prison, but for the first time in my life, I am free.”- Whip Whitaker

3. “Then I saw it. I saw a mom who would die for her son; a man who would kill for his wife; a boy, angry and alone, laid out in front of him the bad path. I saw it and the path was a circle, round and round. So I changed it.”- Joe

4. “Now as to you poor devils? So as I see it, when it comes to the subject of what to do next, you gentlemen have two choices. One: once I’m gone, you could lift that beast off the remaining Speck, then carry him to the nearest town. Which would be at least 37 miles back the way you came. Or Two: You could unshackle yourselves, take that rifle, put a bullet in his head, bury the two of them deep, and then make your way to a more enlightened area of this country. The choice is yours. Oh, and on the off chance there are any astronomy aficionados amongst you, the North Star is that one. Tata.” -Dr. King Schultz

5. “Hello James, welcome. Do you like the island? My grandmother had an island when I was a boy. Nothing to boast of. You could walk along it in an hour. But for us it was paradise. One summer, we came for a visit and discovered the whole place had become infested with rats. They came on a fishing boat and gorged on the coconut. So how do you get rats off an island? My grandmother showed me. You put an oil drum in a pit and hinge open the lid. Then you coat the lid in the coconut. The rats come for the coconut and plink, plink, plink, plink, plink, plink, plink; they fall into the trap. Then what do you do? Throw it in the ocean? Burn it? No. You just leave it. And then one by one… they start eating each other until there are only two left. The two survivors. Then what do you do? Kill them? No. You release them into the trees. But they will not eat coconut anymore. Now they will only eat rat. You have changed their nature. The two survivors, this is what she made us.”- Raoul Silva

6. “Let me tell you, I know you don’t want to listen to your father, I didn’t listen to mine, and I am telling you you gotta pay attention this time. When life reaches out with a woman like this it’s a sin if you don’t reach back, I’m telling you its a sin if you don’t reach back! It’ll haunt you the rest of your days like a curse. You’re facing a big challenge in your life right now at this very moment, right here. That girl loves you she really really loves you. I don’t know if Nicky ever did, but she sure as shit doesn’t right now. So don’t fuck this up.”- Pat Sr

7. “I’m bad, and that’s good. I will never be good, and that’s not bad. There’s no one I’d rather be then me.”- Wreck-It Ralph

8. “Hey! Stop fucking with Korean Jesus! He ain’t got time for your problems! He’s busy… with Korean shit!”- Captain Dickson

9. “We’re reviving a canceled undercover project from the ’80s and revamping it for modern times. The people behind this lack creativity and they’ve run out of ideas, so what they do now is just recycle shit from the past and hope that nobody will notice.”- Deputy Chief Hardy

10. “I’ve heard tell about you. I heard you been telling everybody them mandingos ain’t no damn good, ain’t nothing nobody is selling is worth buying – I’m curious. What makes you such a mandingo expert?”- Calvin Candie
