Is he the brother on "Judging Amy?"
I don't know, why? Why is there always someone on these Oscars threads (or Grammies, or Emmys) who insists he or she doesn't care about the awards, but cared enough to post to a thread that is of no interest? Why is the sky blue, and which came first, the chicken or the egg? Why do fools fall in love?(As long as we're asking deep questions).
Boston `04 Redux: shallow, leftist knuckleheads in drag everywhere you look.
May have to polish the cats instead.
The release date has been delayed. It has been pushed back to May 17.
LOL! Let's see him try a carrier landing, though!
-or- Replace Chris Rock with Steve Martin, Billy Cystal or some other headliner.. i.e. headliner like in a car..
Yes, the Aviator was good but didn't it drive you nuts the way Hughes/DiCaprio kept repeating the same sentence? The way Hughes/DiCaprio kept repeating the same sentence? The way Hughes/DiCaprio kept repeating the same sentence?
Must be me. Oh well, I need to tend to my urine jar
collection now... :)
ABC EXECS FORCE ROBIN WILLAMS TO CUT OSCAR SKIT
newsroom sources tell DRUDGE.
Williams had hoped to joke using lisping character:
"Pinocchio's had his nose done! Sleeping Beauty is popping pills!
"The Three Little Pigs ain't kosher! Betty Boop works Beverly Hills!"
"Fred Flintstone is dyslexic, Jessica Rabbit is really a man, Olive Oyl is really anorexic, and Casper is in the Ku Klux Klan!"

Officials from ABC's broadcast standards and practices office were not pleased.
Williams explains: "For a while you get mad, then you get over it. They're afraid of saying Olive Oyl is anorexic. It tells you about the state of humor."
Go Clive Owen
I don't know if this fits here, but I want to take this opportunity to talk about Gigli.
I saw it last night for the first and last time and I cannot properly express the awe and wonder I felt upon beholding its breathtaking baseness. How utterly bereft of wit or humor, how profoundly unimaginatively banal, how relentlessly peurile can one film be? Some might suggest the writers and producers should be shot, but I humbly propose they be imprisoned and studied, so that whatever small kernel of understanding that might be gleaned could somehow advance the human condition, presumably by aiding the diagnosis of mental illness.
The script is not one final revision from passable, it is not even three rewrites from watchable...instead, teams of nobel laureates could work for decades, in round-the-clock shifts, modifying this script and in the end, it would still not surpass the first efforts of a dozen shaved monkeys throwing feces at a gigantic, specially-modified PC keyboard.
When Jennifer Lopez reclined on a bed, her legs splayed open, and cooed "It's turkey time...gobble gobble!" I suddenly began to hope against hope that I was actually watching a snuff film.
I sat, my mouth agape, ashamed that the coarse, pitiful crapopalooza playing out before me was created by members of my species. I wondered bleakly that, if the persons involved with its production have human souls, how valuable could a human soul really be? Perhaps I would be better off without one than to face even the most minute comparison to them, cosmologically speaking.
Seriously though, you might be asking, can Gigli really be that bad?
No. It is far worse.
A postscript about Gigli:
It is Ben Affleck's very best work.
The gift bags for all nominees and presenters are now worth more than $100,000, and it takes a phalanx of assistants to carry them.
Some items for this year:
An 18-inch baroque Tahitian pearl necklace from PearlParadise.com, featuring multicolored pearls with peacock overtones that measure from 8 to 10 millimeters and are double knotted on black silk along with a solid 14-karat white gold ball.
The ultimate "Canadian Experience" package for two from the Opus Hotel in Vancouver, which includes three nights in an executive suite with breakfast in bed, afternoon tea, dinners, spa treatments, personal oxygen canisters and helicopter delivery to a ski excursion at the Four Seasons in Whistler.
Monogrammed slippers from Bronx-based designer Amy Jo Gladstone, just like the kind Julia Roberts wore in Ocean's Twelve.
Private dinner party at any Morton's steakhouse.
Olive oil, flown fresh from Italy.
Mucho more, see link.
GOSH!!!!
IDIOTS!!

AFFLECK TAKES MASSIVE PAY CUT
Hollywood star Ben Affleck has waived his usual multi-million dollar fee to
play actor George Reeves in a desperate bid to regain critical acclaim and
box office success.
The struggling actor's last four films -- "Gigli," "Paycheck," "Jersey Girl"
and "Surviving Christmas" -- all flopped, but he hopes playing the '50s TV
Superman actor in "Truth, Justice and the American Way," who was
mysteriously shot dead in Beverly Hills in 1959, will impress audiences and
revive his flagging career.
Affleck is so convinced the low-budget, fact-based drama is the perfect
project for him at this stage of his life, he's taken a massive pay cut.
Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody co-stars in the upcoming film as a
detective investigating Reeves' death. The movie is scheduled to begin
filming this summer.
I just read that Ben Affleck has a hairy back, it's so bad that he sheds and Jennifer Garner wants him to wax it.
Who cares what a bunch of Christian-hating liberals are up to?
(I did fall asleep during this movie, it was THAT bad!)
sw
I wasn't sure if it was good, but now I think I'll ping my biggest fans. ;O)
