OSCAR BLINKS

Capote, Crash and Walk the Line were GREAT films. Much better than that Hobbit crap that won all of the awards a few years back.

[nickcarraway]

I thought Crash came out several years ago. Are we talking about the David Cronenberg movie?

[Clemenza]

No, the Paul Haggis film starring Matt Dillon and Sandra Bullock.

[nickcarraway]

I don't even remember hearing about it.

[Clemenza]

Check it out. A worthy winner of the Best Picture Oscar. Its now out on DVD.

[mupcat]

For the victim, that is.

Exactly

I guess it's only Michey Moore who can wake up the dead.

[sarasota]

I don't remember what she did? Can you explain?

[antiRepublicrat]

May I ask where you found that statistic?

CDC.

[sarasota]

Perhaps it's just her age that's showing. She shuffled across the stage and appeared terribly nervous. Guess she didn't time her meds properly.

>I don't remember what she did? Can you explain?

Everybody loved Helen Hunt in TRANCERS, then she went on and did that Paul Reiser show, then she got an Oscar [!] for As Good As It Gets.

I am sorry, but this article is absurd. To slam Capote as just a "gay-themed" movie is shallow and priggish. Truman Capote was a major figure in literature, and this film is not about his gayness in any way, per se.

And Hirsen is as humorless as the Oscar audience he criticizes. To wit...

Many of the stars seemed incapable of laughing at themselves. But when Stewart let loose with a joke that was at the expense of Vice President Dick Cheney, the guffaws flowed freely.

That joke was not a dig at Dick Cheney, it was a dig at Bjork. And it was damn funny.

[sarasota]

I loved As Good as it Gets and have seen it many times.

[uncitizen]

What did Lauren Bacall do that was sad? I missed that part.

[eleni121]

Apparently she was having trouble reading the prompter.

Look - she is what? 80 something. People half her age have trouble even thinking.

[lugsoul]

Where do you get your 'facts'?

[Trillian]

Just try not to go there during the 'gay games'. Blech..

[theFIRMbss]

>I loved As Good as it Gets and have seen it many times

Yep. I always say the WRONG THING, then I get punched, then the girl stares down shocked she knocked me out. (The only plus is sometimes I see up a skirt . . .)
