"My hands are a little dirty." "...So are mine" It looks like Transporter but with the most generic title possible. I'm still going to see it.

I just was season 6 to start with

"Hell breaks loose!" Major stretch, but according to the books: Again, major stretch. I don't want to be correct on that particularly. But seeing as the book's also say I think we could take the book plots and just let them go.

Movies I could never get tired of: 1. The Stupids (will defend this to the death) 2. Road to Perdition 3. LA Confidential 4. Amadeus 5. There Will Be Blood 6. Network 7. The Royal Tennenbaums 8. Battle Royale 9. Little Miss Sunshine 10. The Addams Family Honorables: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Falling Down Confessions of a Dangerous Mind Let The Right One In Hot Fuzz/Shaun of the Dead Throw Momma From The Train The Producers La Vie En Rose Princess Mononoke Aladdin National Lampoons Christmas Vacation The Presitge In Bruges

Leo winning was the worst part of the night, more than Kings Speech winning, more than Exit Through the Gift Shop losing Documentary. She wasn't bad, but I still think that out of the two from The Fighter, Amy Adams was better. Leo was louder, but Adams was better. I was pushing for Adams or Stienfeld.

Batwomen had a total of one good moment: About 2:00 in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaUsCiq9WmE

Why not? It would have to be PERFECT for it to really deserve a nomination. And I'm someone that was really unhappy that morning when The Dark Knight wasn't announced for Best Picture. But I think for me it's more that I kinda just tell myself that it SHOULDN'T get nominated so I don't get so stressed about it (I have anger issues in general, so caring so much about the Oscars doesn't help) If The Dark Knight Rises comes out next summer, and just blows everything else out of the water I'll be supporting it like everyone else. I mean, in the last few years we actually had a Batman film win a ACTING award, which if you were to tell anyone that in 1996 they wouldn't believe you. With The Kings Speech winning Best Picture though, it could mean that The Academy is starting to go back to their old ways, where the "safe" choice wins the big awards. We had Million Dollar Baby win in 2004. It was safe, sad, Clint Eastwood, and somewhat topical (The right to die, euthanasia, etc) it probably shouldn't have won, but it was a "safe" choice. Then: 2005: Crash, a film with racism and multiple intertwining plots. It was safer than something like Brokeback Mountain, but showed signs of AMPAS not following whatever was marketed as the best of the year, like Brokeback was. (Personally, I still need to see Brokeback, but I for sure didn't see Crash as Oscar material. Decent, but seriously?) 2006: Scorsese finally wins for The Departed. And if Scorses had already won years before, he wouldn't have gotten it. I could see Little Miss Sunshine winning instead. Either film was not the usual Oscar choice. This was also the same year as The Queen, which if it had been out a few years earlier, most likely would have picked up a Best Picture award over something like MDB, or Chicago even. 2007: They finally award the Coen's for a dark film where . This was the year of Atonement too, which again, in a "safe" year would have picked up the win instead. 2008: They start losing their edge here, although Slumdog wasn't a bad choice. The main sign in the Oscars "reverting" is Mickey Rourke losing to Sean Penn. (Although, this was The Dark Knight year) 2009: The large epic James Cameron movie Vs. everyone else. 12 years before no one would have doubted Avatar. This time, The Hurt Locker was seen as the better choice. Which it was. 2010: The Kings Speech Vs. The Social Network doing its part in defining a generation. And Black Swan making a near legend of Natalie Portman. And Inception being was people will most likely really remember 2010 for. I hope this is a one year thing, and 2011 see's it go to where it's already started 5-6 years ago. And psyched for 2012 in general, since we're getting so many great movies right before we die. I should have worded myself better before.

The Social Network was the best film of 2010. Closely followed by Black Swan, then Inception, then 127 Hours. Notice that a fucking TV movie wasn't on that previous list. Colin Firth won. Deserved. Natalie Portman won. VERY deserved (Performance of the year) Melissa Leo won. FUCK HER! (Whoops, I dropped and F-bomb by "mistake") SHUT UP! You gave a very hammy and overrated performance. AND GIVE KIRK DOUGLAS HIS CANE BACK HE'S 94 YEARS OLD! HE WANTED TO SNAP YOUR UGLY ASS NECK YOU BINT! Christian Bale won. Hell yes! Tom Hooper won Best Director. David Fincher's anti-campaigning did him in. Hooper isn't bad by anymeans, but this was fucking Fincher's time! And forget that Christopher Nolan wasn't even fucking NOMINATED. Inception won four awards. Every winner got up, and the first thing they did was praise Nolan. They all told the Academy "Hey look, it's the guy that put all this shit together! Where's his nomination?" Oh, he was nominated for Screenplay. Against that pablum of a TV movie. Awesome. Nolan goes home Oscarless, ready to direct Academy Award winners Christian Bale, Marion Cotillard, and Morgan Freeman, along with Oscar-Nom Anne Hathaway in what will be the next great film from Nolan to get ignored. (and yes, I know that a Batman movie really shouldn't get nominated for Best Picture/Director) Aaron Sorkin get's his Oscar. Finally! I'm happy there. Toy Story 3 won when it was announced 4-5 years ago. Live Action Short: God of Love was arguably the worst of the nominees, but still pretty good. Maybe a little too quirky for my tastes. The Crush should have gotten it. Alice in Wonderland is now a multiple Oscar winner. BOOOOOOOOOOOOO Exit Through The Gift Shop deserved Best Documentary. Overall, the show was boring. Anne Hathaway tried, and kinda worked. James Franco smoked pot and twittered the whole time. I admire his confidence, and don't think he did a HORRIBLE job. They brought out Billy Crystal, and he showed he still had it. I hope they bring him back one more time. So...yeah. These are the rantings of someone whose watched the Oscars out of family tradition since the mid '90's. And someone who went out of their way to see all the films each year around 2006. It's become a hobby to watch and predict the Oscars. And it's also become a basis for some of my best friendships. It means a little more to me than others, but it's not a way of life. All this somewhat disappointing year has done has gotten me hyped for 2011 in film. I'll try to see more, I'll hopefully have a job by the end of the week to help that quest. All this does is increase my hunger for more films. And more knowledge. It's oddly enough been more inspiring than I thought it would be. So, it's very bittersweet at the moment.

One more for In Bruges. Didn't even hear of it until Colin Farrell won his Golden Globe for it. I saw it like two days later at the library, and thought it would be decent. And by decent, it was really HOLY FUCKING SHIT! It is such a perfect script! If it had gotten a proper American release everyone would love it. But I love being able to show it to near everyone I meet. One girl I met was new to our social group and didn't talk much. Then I randomly said "Bruges is a shithole" and she laughed and said "They're filming midgets!". I miss her. Anyway: Random suggestions. Fracture: Ryan Gosling is a young lawyer on the brink of a six figure job, but is suddenly brought into an easy case where Anthony Hopkins shot Embeth Davidz in the face. It's really a great movie. The Constant Gardener : Went into it not expecting much, just a random Netflix choice on a lazy afternoon. What looks like generic political thriller opens up to something a lot more emotional and thoughtful. Maybe a little slow at times, but it all blends well. Worth a watch. La Vie En Rose : I only watched it because of Marion Cotillard, but instead I got a great biopic about Edit Piaf, who is more than just "Oh, she sang that song from Incepton". I usually can stay reserved during films, but one scene is done SO well I actually cried. The matter itself probably wouldn't have done it, but the way it just suddenly hits you, it's insane. Love this film very much. Sweet & Lowdown : When I'm reading lists of Woody Allen's best films, I NEVER see this, and it's a shame. A mockumentary/biopic on a jazz guitar legend, this one surprised me too when I randomly grabbed it for cheap one day. It's really worth finding. If anything, it's Samantha Mortons movie. She's unforgettable. Sullivan's Travels : A film from 1941 that seems to have inspired the Coen Brothers on at least two of their films. A film that's just as good as other films from the era that are talked about all the time, yet this one gets forgotten. Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans : Fairly new, awesome "Nicolas Cage is insane" movie. Harry Brown: Michael Caine drives wiggers (or, I suppose Chav's in this case?) out of his neighborhood by shooting them all in the face. I'm sold. Affliction : Nick Nolte is a divorced father trying to keep things sane. His alcoholic badass father James Coburn isn't helping though. Pretty damn good. I typed more than I was expecting...

Like... only 2 Pod People votes?! Dammit. 1. Pod People (Oh, little potatoes, they look so good. Oh,winged potatoes! This potato has long ears! Stop kitty, that's my snout!) 2. The Final Sacrifice (Rowsdower...so is that a stupid name or...) 3. Space Mutiny (Put your helmets on Men, we'll be reaching speeds of 3!) 4. This Island Earth (And if your hands were made of metal that would mean something) 5. Invasion U.S.A. (only here because of A Date With Your Family: Dad, I'm dating a negro!) 6. Manos: The Hands of Fate (Um, where's my dog-You never had a dog!) 7. Overdrawn at the Memory Bank (Pure Raul Julia love) 8. The Wild World of Batwomen (Boring as hell, but it gets a spot solely for: EEEEEEEEEND! EEEEEEEEND! EEEEEEEEEEEEEND!) 9. Fugitive Alien (...This is the song, Rocky and Ken! He tried to kill me with a forklift! HUZZAH! 10. Mitchel (You know, losing a car doesn't work when you use your TURN SIGNALS) (Or something like that. It's been awhile)

Best Picture looks to be leaning towards a Kings Speech win, which kinda sucks. Infact, almost this whole season has been disappointing. Best Picture: The Kings Speech (Take out the cursing scene, and it's a TV movie. Pretty good, but shouldn't win) Director: David Fincher Actor: Colin Firth Actress: Natalie Portman Supp. Actor: Christian Bale (If he loses in a King Speech sweep, it would be a near travesty. Bale was insanely good, but I fear that the Kings Speech movement could take it from him) Side note: Andrew Garfield has no nomination for The Social Network, which...is just wrong. Supp. Actress: Mellisa Leo (Should be Amy Adams here, but I think the Academy refuses to ever actually let her win) Animated Feature: Toy Story 3 (I would LOVE How To Train Your Dragon to upset though) Original Screenplay: The Kings Speech (Obviously, this SHOULD be Inception's big win, but it wont be) Adapted Screenplay: Aaron Sorkin Ever tech possible: Inception (But this isn't even a prediction, just wishful thinking. And how this got no editing nom is still on my mind) This year has made me doubt myself as an "Oscar-Watcher". I obviously know fuck all with most of these nominations.

Yep...go easy questions! Also, in one of the first few episodes, he does say a name when he's asked, but the school bell plays over his voice. He really mouths out the names of the other characters (Eric Foreman Michael Kelso etc...) You're up.

12 hour rule...again. Really don't want to see this die. So easy one now. On That 70's Show, what is Fez's real name (or at least what does "Fez" mean?)

Oh, I thought it was kind of a trick question because I think we only see it in the mirror once. You'd think I would have watched it again by now after that question.... >_< So.....It's been 12 hours for my question. Answer was Raul Julia. Anyone is open to ask a new one now! I just got here I don't want this to die!

It's been 12 hours, but I'll guess and ask one anyway. Is it the "John G. Murdered My Wife" one. I know it's backwards and it's shown once in the mirror I think. It's been years since I've watched Memento anyway. Last year, in the musical "Nine", Guido was played by Daniel Day-Lewis. "Nine" was originally a Broadway play. Who played Guido in the original musical?
