Thank you Eric Stratton!

[Johnny_Cipher]

He was young and needed the money :)

[NYC GOP Chick]

Been watching Animal House again, babe? ;D

[nhoward14]

A friend of mine in college made me watch that movie. Needless to say, he is not my friend anymore.

[Diddle E. Squat]

I didn't see 'Lost in Translation'. Did she deserve this award, or is it the usual PC/storybook ending?

[Petronski]

LOL

[Dan from Michigan]

Everytime that pic's posted, that one song goes through my head.

[DoughtyOne]

[Porterville]

I watched it-liked it, but don't believe for a second, that she did any of it on her own.

[Diddle E. Squat]

ARRRRGHHH! No cell phones in movies!

[NewRomeTacitus]

This is just disgusting considering how Gail Ann Hurd continued the hard work while "The King of the World" was sleeping one off during the past 15 years. Hollywood.

[Johnny_Cipher]

That's "Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman." Damned glad to meetcha!

[Kieri]

Go to http://www.watchfarscape.com/ for all the latest info.

I'm extremely familiar with the site; they pretty much took up the slack after Farscape was axed. I ran a site for a long time, but RL stepped in, monopolized all my time, and the gang over at savefarscape.com was doing a better job :-)

[Clemenza]

Lost in Translation was disappointing for me. Too much "travelogue" and unecessary scenes. Needed to cut about 15 minutes. Bill Murray is OUTSTANDING however.

Congratulations to La Bella Napolitana, Sofia Coppola.

Namedrop alert: I once helped Francis Ford Coppola find a coffee machine.

[John H K]

Actually some of the prettiest girls on Seinfield were ones that George dated

Actually the women both George and Jerry dated were all absurdly hot.

I am, at least, better looking, taller, less fat, and have more hair than George, and even more gainfully employed most of the time, and I could only dream of dating women 1/10th as hot as George's dates.

[eddie willers]

Fran Drescher is my secret sitcom crush. I prefer watching The Nanny with the sound OFF!

Ha ha....mine too!
But that voice HURTS these Southern ears.

[Lil'freeper]

Naw- she's probably using tape.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Which song? The one when Bluto takes the guy's guitar and smashes into the wall? :D

[Central Scrutiniser]

It is a makeup call! The oscars don't reward performances, they reward careers. That ain't right. The Independent Spirits are much much better.

[Dr.Deth]

>>Is that Marilyn Manson?

>its janean garofolo

Well, see... that's where I got confused, because normally Janeane Garofalo is a dead ringer for the Bigfoot.
