giving in to the whole oscars thing
so a friend of a friend of mine gives an oscars party every year. i've never gone before because it's such total bullshit, but this year i decided that i'd just take it at face value and have fun with it. so i'm going to the party tomorrow and i've been watching movies like crazy lately.
including...
- triplets of belleville (awesome)
- whale rider (good, but they brought out the whales about 40 minutes before the end and it was nothing but tears til the damn movie was over.)
- mystic river. (sean penn has been working out, whoa! and tim robbins really nailed it. he was great.)
- in america (that's tonight)
- seabiscuit (another damn animals/crying movie. that's tomorrow).
of course, i'd already seen 'lost in translation' twice, which i absolutely loved. murray should win best actor, but probably won't because his performance is actually subtle.
so i've seen a bunch of movies i probably wouldn't have otherwise, and will be going to a very silly party populated entirely with women. stuff like this just gives me that "bread and circuses" feeling.

maybe you should start a "slam-oscars" festival or something. like slam-dance, you know? get it??
you could make sure all the good movies that didn't get nominated for oscars got nominated for your "slammies", then we could all get drunk and have our own awards show. and wear ugly gowns and stuff.
