He hadn't seen any of the others, but he was brimming with confidence from the moment he heard the words MOTP: "I don't know which one it'll be, but for sure it won't be that one. That will so lose! You watch how much it loses! It's so bad!" When it was over and he was swimming in impotent outrage, Hec rubbed his back and comforted him by pointing out that this will be good practice for a lifetime of being infuriated and baffled by the way other people vote.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
and if anybody honestly believes there's no such thing as a stupid question, they were not watching. Every single question asked of a celebrity on that show was stupid.
Unerringly so.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I thought Penguins was a really well-done nature doc of the sort that I don't see on PBS/Discovery/National Geographic as much since "when giant carnivores order takeout" took over the TV genre. Also, really pleasant on the 95-degree day I saw it.
On the other hand, Murderball utterly blew me away.
(And I suppose I shouldn't gripe too much, because I can't remember when I've had the chance to see two of the doc picks in the theatre, let alone managed to do so.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Until noon, faithful readers. Stay alive. We will find you.
I love the fuggers!
I also loved Jennifer Aniston rolling her eyes as she walked away from the pre-show interviewer.
What I do NOT love is the US Passport Agency hanging up on me, after telling me I might have better luck if I call tomorrow between noon and 3. @@

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Eggshell. Check.

Yeah, Hec and I rewound and rewatched the eyeroll a couple of times. It was delicious.

Trust my rage
I did enjoy Jon though. I thought the opening was fun and the promo ads very fun. I think the review was way too harsh on my man.
I thought he did better than I expected. I think the Oscars is a hard gig.
Joe and I just watched March of the Penguins yesterday. All the death made me sad, but I guess that's part of being a documentary and all. Personally, I loved the stuffed penguins. Of course, I can see how a little boy might be disappointed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If Jennifer Aniston had had anything vaguely interesting to say I might have not been rolling my eyes and therefore caught hers. I think she gave one of the emptiest interviews of the red carpet shenanigans, and the interviewers were doing their solemn best to lower that bar. I dislike her more and more.

I wasn't sure if she was rolling her eyes at the interviewer's bad questions or her bad answers, but either way it helped.
