they are going to have fake preview and intermission stuff, so, while a long night at the movies, it will probably be a monster hoot,
There are to be trailers directed by Rob Zombie, Eli Roth and Edger Wright. I think.
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
edit: According to the imdb they were intentionally aged. I guess projectionists everywhere are off the hook or will they carefully audit for any additional scratches after we return the print?
Now I'm worried that they are going to work a deliberate film break or two into climactic scenes.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I had dinner with this guy [link] last night. He is here from WETA, working on the new Jim Cameron film with our friend Andy and came along to dinner and the movies with us.
Last week, I had told Andy that I was kinda looking forward to watching the whole Rings trilogy again while i was recovering form my surgery, and right after we met John, he told me the had warned John about my fangirl tendendcies. John said it was six years of his life and he was very proud and would never get tired of talking abnout it. I didn't grill him or anything, although I heard one good story. A lot of the techs were called upon to dress in costume during post-production so they could be digitally inserted to cover, um, mistakes. For example, one of the Orcs write his name on his helmet right before the shot, so his mother could find him in the battle scene. Hee.

Emmett's been bugging me to have a Rings marathon. Maybe we'll drop by. We'll bring salty snacks!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Sean, IMDb splashes the results on the front page.
I was pretty pleased with the winners. Little Miss Sunshine got 2, Pan's Labyrinth got 3, and The Departed got 4. I wish Pan's Labyrinth had won Best Foreign Film, but The Lives of Others looked really good and was the only one I could see it losing to.

I'm so deleriously happy for Marty.
I didn't think tonight was going to be his night, either. Frankly, I was beginning to think that snubbing Marty was the Academy's favorite hobby. I was so sure they were going to screw him again, I put $5 on it. Oh well. Glad it was only $5. (Shoulda put lots of cash on Forrest Whittaker and Helen Mirren)
I was sure that Marty's first Oscar would be Irv Thalberg's head five years from now. Though on that subject, WTF, do they not give out Irv's head any more. It's just "Honorary Oscar" now, and they get an Oscar statue.
Also, I'm so very chuffed that we now get to refer to Mr. Gore as the Academy Award winning former Vice President Al Gore.
