If you're the one who's always lonely, then I'm the one who's always alone.

Everyone is predicting remarkably low ratings for this Oscar telecast. It will be interesting to see if that holds up. I'm no gauge, of course, since I don't ever see movies in the theater any more. :-)

You know, with the expansion of entertainment opportunities available to consumers nowadays, this is going to be a trend -- the Oscars, Grammys, Miss America and the Olympics will never disappear entirely, but they won't be the guranteed ratings winners they once were. And yet the Super Bowl just keeps hanging in there. I think it's a gladitorial thing.

As long as we're store ranting...

If you wish to check out at the express check out, with the highly advanced automated computer than does the work for you.

Please, oh please, don't even think of writing a check.

Please?

[bigrob]

And if you're writing a check -- caveman -- how about filling the fucker out as much as possible before you get up there? Hmmmmmm?

[bigrob]

Okay, now I have to go find that address, and go see who, if anyone, lives there.

(And piss pee on his fuckin' valued rug.)

Pretty good... you called all except one (supporting actor).

I didn't think Crash would take best picture, mostly because it so clearly wasn't. But my should/will win picks mostly jibed with yours (although I thought Reese deserved it), especially with Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams. Those were searing, human performances; Heath went deep with his, and it paid off emotionally big time.

Reese deserved it. I just think some others deserved it even more. All the categories were rich with awardworthiness this year, even best Supporting Actress. And to my mind, if there were a Silver in this particular event, Crash might very well be up for it. (Maybe.)

Yep. Colbert beat me. *cackle*

..*raises meek hand* ... but I *like* fantasy and sci fi.

I dont' see why they are automatically excluded from the "true acting" awards. One can't "really act" if they're wearing a silly costume?

Anyone find the irony here? the best of print science fiction, the Hugo and Nebula awards - go to those stories that are the most emotionally and mentally complicated. Stories that challenge morals, societal beliefs, and general make you go "whoa! deep man, deep." Then, if they are lucky, some of these same stories get made into films that are all CGI and alien guts.

Be that as it may, I won't likley ever see Brokeback Mountain, not even three years from now when it'll be shown three times a week on the Lifetime channel. not because it's a gay story, but because.... well, all that real-life drama bores the begeebies out of me. I also have no use for Places in the Heart, Hope Floats, Fried Green Tomatoes, or any of those other tear-jerkers.

give me a good laser cannon or wizard any day.

Yep. Welcome to Hollywood.

Oh, and if you're trying to make people laugh, forget it. Because obviously you can't expect to be given and Oscar (insert angel chorus here) for being funny.

Meh! And, for good measure, Feh!

[bigrob]

What he said.

And, for the record, I love those genres as well... certainly, "King Kong" and "Narnia" were the equal of many of these nominated films. (Not all, mind you, but they're up there.)
