I get the feeling that the Golden Compass win over Transformers (which was, among other things, the only Hollywood movie in the last two years that depicts the military with dignity) was a “take that, fundies!” moment.

There, thank you! That's a much better photo of them. She's very pretty. Her hair looks better like this than the way she slicked it back in the past. It frames her face better. He looks fantastic.

I LOVE that yodeling song in Raising Arizona. I tracked it down and it’s from a song called “Way Out There” and it was first perfomed by the Sons of The Pioneers back in 1934. I also noticed an old performance of it by Marty Robbins on youtube.
