For awhile I've been thinking of going to Forest Lawn and paying my respects to James Stewart. Today might be the day to do it - classic Hollywood legends could well be spinning in their graves today!
Crash and Capote are worth seeing. Neither should offend FReepers.
I can relate.If there was something worth seeing,i'd go to the movies more often.Hollyweird simply cannot make an entertaining film w/o interjecting their particular bias/political philosophy.Even"The Day After Tomorrow"(the last movie i pd to see)used global warming as the premise of this disaster flick.To add insult to injury,i pd $4.00 for a box of stale popcorn and $2.50 for a cup of flat diet coke that was mostly ice.
I think Brokeback is in real trouble. I recently saw "Crash" and it was an awesome film. Brokeback is in backlash, and it is amusing to read about about Clooney will beat Jake G (Jake shouldn't even have been nominated). Jake has NO chance to win. Clooney has three nominations, I think his only chance is in BSA - but Matt Dillon or Paul Giamtti should win.
Hoffman is a lock, and he deserves it, ditto Rachel Weisz, and I think Witherspoon also.
I am hoping that Crash pulls it off and leaves Brokeback with only 1 major award, which will be director. I think Ang Lee has it in the bag, although I don't know why.
I still can't believe that "Walk the Line" or "Narnia" wasn't given a Best Picture nod.
Let's hope Brokeback ends up with pie on it's face. I saw it and it wasn't that good, trust me.
Capote as worthwhile. It was an amazing acting performance and Capote was a real dirt bag, which they don't sugar coat in this film. However they do try to drum up sympathy for Perry which made me a little sick.
Yes, I agree. Crash and Capote are the only two.
Thanks for the info.I'll catch the movie.Capote was an interesting character.
Close to orgasmic pitch.....
In this household, no such tension exists.......
Incredibly enough, even PBS admits the US guvmint was infiltrated with
a lot of Soviet spooks:

I about had a heart attack when this PBS product admitted that McCarthy
was right about Communist infiltration, even if he wasn't always accurate
in identifying specific targets.
LOL, ride baby ride. What a title.
Where have you been?
The left depends on the fact that no one will read for themselves.
Communist Goals #26(1963)
Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35
January 10, 1963
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
Capote was more than interesting - he was really a horrible person. But this is a fascinating study, so get try it.
I would think it would be an interesting movie.Truman was very eccentric(to say the least).
