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...
No. He did not. And since I've misspelled his name 5 times tonight, I hesitate to try again, but I THINK it's Joaquin Phoenix. I loved him in Walk the Line.
They will pack their sh!t and go home after all.
You're right.....maybe Forest Hills (where I live....off Tyne)
She was HH all the way....
great manners.....
most of her kin are GOp and some in the Insurance field here are old money and very conservative....
Fortunes, Fiddles and Fried Chicken
*** The Academy was able to quit Brokeback.***
BROKEBACK GETS FRAKKED BY THE ACADEMY!
Talk about your oxymorons!!!!!!
I went to North Texas State, where McMurtry was the big deal alum among the English teachers. He's written a lot of great stuff: "Lonesome Dove," "Last Picture Show," "Terms of Endearment," and more. Of course, he's also written a lot of hard-to-get-through wanking. As a general rule, his western stuff is better than his contemporary stuff (aside from "Terms"), and his sequels aren't as good as his originals. If you loved "Lonesome Dove," avoid "Streets of Laredo" and preserve the memory.
I really enjoyed Crash. It was similar in a lot of ways to Traffic, but involved race relations instead. While a lot of the racial issues were sensationalized, it made for a very entertaining and moving film in my opinion and definitely was worthy of Best Picture.
No--Capote guy got it.
There will still be homos on morning talk shows tomorrow - they just won't be as gay/happy as they would have been if the gay/fag movie won.
Wormwood is entitled to his/her opinion, as are you.
So, what is Crash about?
I thought Dances was a good movie.. like Black Hawk not one I want to see over and over because it was depressing, but a good movie nonetheless.

It was good, but a little too "cute" in it's plot contrivances. It was honest about the nature of racism.
Thank God and Greyhound, it's gone.
I don't know why I did this. I never do, but I just brought my laptop into the den and sat here for 3 hours and 30 minutes typing stupid comments about a stupid show.
I'll never get that three hours and 30 minutes back!!!
Thanks for that info... sounds interesting.
That's gotta be the biggest upset in Oscar history, bigger than "Shakespeare In Love" beating "Private Ryan". I mean, not one person in ten could tell you what the hell "Crash" even is or what it's about.
"Brokeback" was a lock!
