Comments on This Weekend at the Oscars

but does anyone care?

I care! I care! Regardless of Schmader's attempted buzzkill

Girl, I hated writing that as much as you hated reading it. It's a sad state of affairs.

Meryl doesn't expect to get a gold statue anymore than you want her to. I think nominations just make her giggle. Like winning $5 on a scratch ticket, "ooh look, I got nominated for something. Now where was I.. oh yes... five letter word for female dog *giggles again* b-i-t..."

If Little Miss Sunshine is Best Picture the American film industry deserves to be razed.

The American film industry HAS been razed. This is what it looks like afterwards.

Children of Men deserves to win everything. Hell, Children of Men was so fucking good that it should win Best Animated Feature and Best Foreign Language Film. They should just give every fucking Oscar to Children of Men and tell everyone else that they need to work harder next year and try to put out something that comes within a hundred light years of being as brilliant as Children of Men.

Still have to see Children Of Men but Little Miss Sunshine pretty much ruled! Should it win best picture? Yes.
10-4

"Little Miss Sunshine" ruled? Ruled the pits of hell, maybe. That movie made me hate humanity with a flaming passion. I hate being manipulated, especially by morons who think everyone's forgotten "National Lampoon's Vacation".

I just watched United 93 - god I'm glad I didn't see that in the theater. Fucking great film, but I was bawling at the end.

I also rented Little Miss Sunshine - was hoping to get The Departed, The Prestige or Babel, but they were all out. Damn everyone for thinking the same thing I was!

I love the Oscars.

Who gives a fuck about a goddamn Oscar? Yes I am drunk. Babel was the most tolerable and fascinating of all that hoo-hah, and it still is hoo-hah. Yes, Gitai, 'Children of Men' is the shizznatch. Everyone I run into says it is one of the best films they have ever, EVER seen, but you'd think from the media response it was in more minor a key than the charming 'Pan's Labyrinth'. I haven't seen anything that kicked that much ass since 'The New World' and that was a completely different type of film.

Pattern? The three most interesting films of the year (except for 'United 93') are by Mexican directors. I didn't just randomly pick that country to move to on a globe (like the guy in 'The Last King of Scotland' - which ruled, don't get me wrong). It is the rising center of the consciousness of what it means to be a citizen of the New World. Always has been, really.

Hollywood is done. Done.

Hey number 8 are we thinking of the same movie. Did you just watch Garden State and get it confused with Little Miss Sunshine.

I liked The Lives of Others - still haven't seen Little Miss Sunshine.

I would eat a chili dog covered with flies out of Dick Cheney's ass if I could get the space in my brain that remembers "Little Miss Sunshine" back. Just horrible, horrible. Like a bad sitcom.

But I have heard Children of Men was good.
