"...since when does someone from China know anything about being a cowboy?"
Well, a couple of things wrong with this statement. One, they weren't cowboys, they were sheep herders. Two, Ang Lee directed one of the best War Between the States movies ever made -- Ride with the Devil.
Check it out.
Does anyone know what the ratings were last night?

I didn't watch the Oscars either.
Took my mom out for her birthday dinner instead. Went to Outback Steakhouse.
A much better evening than watching the Oscars. When I got home, I went to Fox News' web site to see who won.
I'm going to rent it today. Haven't seen it, but I'm a big Matt Dillon and Terrance Howard fan.
IOW Hollyweird Oscar voters paniced and tried to put the homosexuals back in the closet.
After watching the fox summary, hollyweird thought it was safe to bash the USA. They still don't get it.
This was an effort to save the viability of the show.
If you haven't bought it yet, I recently picked up Disney's 50th anniversary edition of "Lady and the Tramp". I love that cartoon.
Crash does not lecture. And it's not so much about racism per se as it is about the corrosive effects of hate, and the redemptive power of getting beyond that hate. It is a brilliantly written film, layer upon layer of subplot and character, all fully developed and interwoven. A very difficult form of screenwriting.
I couldn't care less. The very fact that these pompous, sel-absorbed, self-indulgent, elitist, degenerate liberals that populate Hollyweird turning out agenda dreck refer to this as an "Academy" is absolutely ludicrous. Meant to imply sophisticated intellectualism it is actually a facade for crass stupidity and mental incompetence!
It was confusing this year, because Madagascar was a kids' movie and it was about penguins, or a penguin, too. I didn't know the documentary one had anything "too real" in it, though. I thought it was supposed to be humorous.
Yes, a lady from right here in Peoria won an oscar for her work on the make-up and costumes for the film. YEAH!
The $78 million that Brokeback has made is hardly impressive. Out of all movies released in 2005, 25 have made more money than it (includes money from both 2005 and 2006), including Cheaper By the Dozen 2, Fun With Dick and Jane, Are We There Yet? and Dukes of Hazzard. Sorry, but I don't consider that a box office success.

'Shakespeare in Love' was literate and witty.
It's not that simple. Crash showed minorities as being racist as well.
Did Brokeback win the "Best Simulated Homo Sex" Oscar, or did Capote take it?
