thanks.:)

The Jam fucking ROCK! I loved them when I was 11! I still have a very old cassette tape and now I wanna dig it out!

Paul Weller was/is so beautiful.:)

I still can't get over a song of theirs being used in a car ad.

I pretty much cried when Bob Dylan was featured in a Victoria's Secret commercial, and then hear a Jimi Hendrix song be used - just awful. Pisses me off that they sell out like that!

Walk the Line was impressive, but yeah, why did Reese win? Oh yeah, because June Carter and Johnny Cash had died not so long ago when that movie was made. It's an Academy rule, it appears. *rolls eyes*

see, i totally missed dylan and victoria! and i'm pretty damn glad i did. what the hell was the man thinking? it's not as if he needs the dough or needs to rebute his career. curious man.

Oh yeah, because June Carter and Johnny Cash had died not so long ago when that movie was made. It's an Academy rule, it appears. *rolls eyes*

i have to agree with you. it's also academy rule to give it to the actor/actress who hasn't much time left here i.e. alan arkin.

I'm going to go with the theory that Bob is senile, which is why he did that commercial? LOL

But if that's the case, how come the Oscar didn't go to Peter O'Toole? I fear the half of his liver will give out if we don't give him an Oscar soon!

Yeah, I thought that very same thing too. It still amazes me that that man has never won an Oscar. He should haven totally gotten it for "The Lion In Winter."

I have the hots for Joaquin, so I'm happy with whatever movie he does.

The commercial where two people sing "Friday I'm in Love" makes me want to cry. Jerks.

[violaviolet]

I haven't seen that commerical. I seem to recall one years ago that used "Pictures Of You."

I certainly don't think Reese even deserved a nomination, but I think Joaquin was fantastic. When I first heard he was cast, I kinda wondered why, and yeah, he wasn't a dead ringer for Johnny Cash, but he sure made his voice sound like his, and in some shots he really does look like him.

Plus, I heard Joaquin met Johnny Cash before he died and basically Johnny approved of Joaquin to play him.

Anyway, if anyone in that movie deserved an Oscar, it was Joaquin. At least he was an actor playing a part and not just "Reese Witherspoon As June Carter." :p

yeah,i heard that too. and i'm sure johnny knew what he was doing. i dunno....maybe i need to give joaquin and the film another chance.
