More importantly. What were the National Ratings and the breakdown by geography?
Rent it. The penguins have more regard for their young than many people. They risk their own lives to protect their offsprings' right to life.
BTW, speaking of the oscars, did anyone else have a hard time first recognizing Jennifer Lopez? She always had a distict broad nose. I think her nose shrunk.
Paul Giamatti shut out 2 years in a row
He was robbed this year and so was the movie Cinderella Man....a great movie...
Not attend? I remember seeing a film of her acceptance speech.
I disagree, I think the stuffed penguins were great. Certainly more appropriate than the big striped bow ties.
Apropos of the film, a friend of mine says that he can not believe in God after that film, unless He is unusually cruel and callous.
If you read my next comment you would see I corrected myself...she did attend, but was forced to sit in the back by herself...I corrected myself..but thanks for catching the error.
Hey, sorry about the mixup, she did attend the awards...but she was forced to sit in the back by herself...I got my facts mixed up, she wasn't allowed to attend the premier of the movie...sorry for the confusion.
Not when your used to living with a big stick up your butt! Besides this was his baby his agenda he had to do it!
She's a huge lib donor.
I think your friend's reaction is a little extreme, "nature red in tooth and claw", it's a big bad world out there. Still doesn't mean it's all a big freak accident.
You should tell him about how evil the devil is, and stop blaming God.
And for best director
Oh, wait you didn't mean THAT Mel, did you?
Hmm... Where are my Mel Blanc photos...?
OH, him... Ping to #76.
There was a lot not to like, granted. I watched results on the Internet. My wife was occasionally peeking at the show but I strictly forbid the kids from watching! (They know all about the leftist agenda, but, hey, those guys' kids--if they have any--won't sit around watching our shows if their parents [or "guardians"] can avoid it!)
So it's the devil that made life tough for penquins! Boy, that guy really gets around.
