I have a theory:

Given the amount of weight that Mr. Gore has put on, he must sweat profusely. As a result, I think that when he speaks of global warming, the globe of which he speaks is -- himself!

I have also heard it is a very good movie. Probably watch it when it comes out on DVD. But Patricia Heaton and others like her are probably 0.1% of the folks in Hollywood - very bad odds for a corrupt industry that has so much influence on America and even the world.

This must be why The Shield delayed the start of its next season until March. They'll talk about Oscar-winning Forrest Whitaker. And he's phenominal in that show.

With the directors win, can best picture be far behind for "The Fallen"?
