Don should have been up for Crash, IMO.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Aurelia, I think if I thought the Oscars were merit-based I'd pay more attention to the winners and not to the spectacle.
I realize awards are never so pure (even on much smaller scale than the Oscars).
For me it's an opportunity to ooh and ahh at fashion (a beloved pasttime of mine) and to hope against hope that my mind-control rays are finally totally debugged.
That's cool. That seems to be the case for the majority. I'm just less cranky when I skip that part.

I can't even.
Never saw that. No idea why no...wait, right, war movie.
Didn't know you had a thing about war movies, fair enough. The story is really boiled down to a very small scale, but there are plenty of war movie elements. Rachel Weisz pretty much steals the show from Joseph Fiennes and Ed Harris whenever she is on screen.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Do you think it has to be reasonably soon? Have his not-wins been high-profile enough to span more than, say, three years?
Hmm. I dunno. Three feels like the limit.
Also, when will Don Cheadle get his we-do-like-you Oscar, dammit?
They gave out all the black-people Oscars already, sorry.

JESSE! Hollywood was a pioneer in the civil right movement. How dare you suggest they have a color bias?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, I'm pretty helplessly weepy. LotR kicked my ass to the third power and then some, but I couldn't not love them. But the combat part of The Great Escape, for instance, almost tarnishes a lovely movie for me. Irritatingly I love PoW movies. And TV. I really need to sit down and rewatch my Tenko DVDs. And buy Bridge Over the River Kwai.

I'm not saying they have a bias! I'm saying their work there is done. They've moved on to The Gays now, clearly.

Tenko's out on DVD? Oh, man, now I've got another thing to add to my Netflix queue. That was a great series.

More like "The Gays." Actual homosexuality not included.
