The Academy Awards 2010

I really wish Dancing With the Stars would go away.

I really wish Dancing With the Stars would go away.

Don't hold your breath.

 

[Imperor]

I'm not going to lie to you. Erin Andrews will be more than enough to get me to watch Dancing with the Stars for the first time.

 

[MrPryck2U]

I really wish Dancing With the Stars would go away.

Holy shit, I was thinking the same thing.

 

[LemonMelon]

Now that I've seen 8 1/2 I kind of want to go ahead and see Nine, even if it's gonna suck.

No description, image or clip I've seen suggests that Nine bears any resemblance to 8 1/2. Unless, of course, you adored 8 1/2 to such a degree that anything relating to Fellini's creation is of interest to you. For the record, I don't disagree with you or Impster: it really does appear to at least be an entertaining film, and that's good enough for a rental.

Was Mo'nique expressing surprise that an adaption of a novel about an abused child overcoming adversity was warmly received by the Academy?

 

[corianderstem]

I think all the viewers will peer closely at Evan Lysacek and think ".... was he that orange at the Olympics? He didn't look that orange when he was skating."

re: Precious - having read the book, I think it's an understatement to say that Precious was "abused." No idea how much they present or shy away from the specifics in the movie, but when you list out the abuses she's suffered, it's hard to see it as a movie anyone would want to go and see, because who wants to pay to see something so horrible? So to not only have a lot of people go and see it and have it receive acclaim, I think that's what she's talking about.

/cori's two cents

 

[MrPryck2U]

Avatar's first of the night.

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

Really glad Mo'Nique won. A little part of me was worried that there'd be some Oscar political bullshit about how she didn't do the whole campaigning thing.

I kinda think it's because of the politics that she won. It turned against them.

 

[Imperor]

Ah, I love the fact that "horses" was just associated with the Seabiscuit-esque SJP.

Ha - I had that thought after I posted that comment. Wouldn't surprise me.

The film and broadway show were both inspired by 8 1/2.

Haha. Those people would be blind then because I think he definitely less orange now than he was when he was skating.

It's nice when the Academy get's a nice F-you once in a while.

 

[corianderstem]

I guess I'm blind too, then! I didn't notice the orange until I saw a bunch of pictures online after he'd won.

 

[corianderstem]

Charlize's dress says "HELLO. THESE ARE WHERE MY BREASTS ARE."

 

[Imperor]

Mr. F.

 

[corianderstem]

Last night I was at a concert, and in between bands, a DJ did his thing, and his laptop had a sticker that said "I'd rather be watching Arrested Development."

The End.

Mr. F.

You get a gold star.

 

[corianderstem]

Man, what was I smoking? Maybe my eyes were bleary from having to stay up so late to watch it.

 

[Imperor]

Nice. There's a car in my complex's lot that has a sticker on the back that just says in black type on a white circle "Her?"

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

the STEW!

 

[corianderstem]

Oh my god, I want that sticker!

Also in oh my god news, that Paranormal Activity skit made me laugh really hard.

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

I was trying to explain to a couple of my students last week why Jaws scares me.

 

[corianderstem]

IS IT SAFE?!?!?

clf

 

[Thora]

I leave the room for a minute to get more water, and all I hear coming from the TV in the living room is shrieks and screams. What's going on??!!

 

[corianderstem]

God, I loved The Dark Knight.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

AK 4 foot 7!

Am I utterly callus for cracking up at a number of those scenes? Honestly, I fnd The Shining in general to be one of my favorite comedies. Shelley Duvall's acting especially. And Jack Nicholson exhibiting homicidal tendencies from scene 1.

 

[No spoken words]

He looks like Gary Busey's brother.
