guessing Jaime Foxx.

From the Cintra Wilson recap:

The biggest argument I got in with my phone-support crew, most notably my dirty and scurrilous libel-meister "Wayne Brave," was whether or not that Catherine Zeta-Jones bit between Rock and Adam Sandler was an actual boner. I thought she actually failed to show up, because surely that ghastly, time-murdering disaster wasn't a planned comedy bit.

I thought it was definitely planned. The entire (weak, elderly) joke was that Sandler has all these "seductive" lines, but, ha ha, he has to say them to a dude instead of a chick. If he'd said them to Catherine Zeta-Jones, it would have been even lamer.

Anyone disagree?

JF = Jamie Foxx.

The last movie who did something similar to me (crying all the last half hour, yet leaving with a big smile) was "Big Fish".

Oh yeah. But Big Fish took a while to sneak up on me -- Finding Neverland I loved from the start. But I have Peter Pan issues.

Jamie Foxx

Ah, gotcha.

If he'd said them to Catherine Zeta-Jones, it would have been even lamer.

Yeah. The lines were really exaggerated even by Oscar pseudo-banter standards.

But I have Peter Pan issues.

Oh, I think I am you in that, as well.

I loved it that they remembered that the story wasn't just a happy shiny let's-fly-and-have-fun-all-is-great tale, but had its sadder emotional moments, as well. They had the spirit of the story (even if most of their facts regarding JMB and the family he met were different than t he actual meeting that took place), and that's what counted most, for me.

That was definitely a planned bit -- Adam Sandler and Chris Rock have a movie together coming out this year.

The group I watched the Oscars with were really unhappy at the clip they showed for Finding Neverland. None of them knew the story at all and all felt spoiled for it now.

We watched at a friend's house, along with a two-year-old and a six-year-old and our new dog and their old dog, who kept trying to play. Water was knocked over twice, the two-year-old once, and the battle between the two boys of who got to sit in the little chair was epic and long-lasting. Also the two-year-old had had a big day--he was learning how to blow bubbles in the morning, but hadn't gotten the hang of it, so put the wand actually on his mouth every time. After a while he stopped playing, turned to his mom, told her he felt funny and then...burped AND A GIANT BUBBLE CAME OUT OF HIS MOUTH. This was the funniest thing that ever happened, ever. Well, you can understand that discussing this Brilliant Comedy Gold took precendence over the Oscars, so I saw only bits of the show, but it was a fun evening nonethless.

burp bubbles definately = comedy gold.

I don't know why blowing is such a hard concept for kids, but after working with kids on a couple of occassions involving bubbles, it seems that either sucking in or just licking the wands were the most common occurances.
