I suppose on this thread it goes without saying, but I'll say in anyway...BOYCOTT THE OSCARS tonight.
I want the ratings for this year's program go into the toilet (where most the nominated movies belong). I won't waste my money to see the films, my electricity to watch the Oscars, or my time watching to witness Hollywood's self-adulation fest.
Pass it on...

Chris Penn died on January 24th of this year and he was included. Maybe the editing was done a few weeks ago.
Besides they all deserve a better tribute than this tripe.

I for some reason purchased the non-MST3K version of Manos as the Crown Jewel of a bad movie marathon I put on...it truly is horrendous beyond words. Thus making it great. If you are watching with a group of friends, anyhow. I once tried to watch it by myself. It can't be done.

Yup. He also played the Artful Dodger in Oliver! He died of lung cancer at age 55.

I'm gonna guess they made the montage sometime between 2 to 6 weeks ago then.

Yippee. BSG is on the Universal Channel in HD as I type.

There are a lot of "comedies" from that era that were not funny. And Altman's been milking the "success" of that movie for years. It goes to show that Hollywood hasn't learned that honoring a poltical statement isn't usually a good long-term plan.

Paul Giamatti was robbed!
Damn right!

1971 : "Theme from Shaft" from SHAFT Issac- "The say that cat Shaft is a bad mother..."
Chicks- "Shut your mouth!"
Isaac- "Well I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft"
Chicks- "Then we can dig it"
Isaac- "He's a complicated man, but nobody understands him but his woman"
Chicks- "John Shaft!"
Oscar gold.

I noticed his comments were all about how great he is and not one word to his cast, crew, etc. That man is one egotistical piece of #$@$.

Um it was throat cancer and they had to remove his tongue and his vocal cords.

Have you all ever heard a 50 cent song? If Rush hasn't used it for a bump, the answer is no.

WHY are these people so ga-ga over Clooney? He is so self-centered and rude.
