thoughts on the oscars.

did you see the awards?  i don't normally get too into the oscars, but i have two things to say this year:

1.  i am completely in LOVE with cate blanchett's dress!  i normally don't care about the dresses at all.  sure they're all pretty, or really weird, but i have never wanted one of the dresses before... until now.  this dress, oh this dress!  it's just gorgeous.  


2. why was everyone so harsh towards james franco?  all night i saw tweet after tweet of people dogging on him, but it seemed pretty clear that he was nervous and more than a little intimidated to stand in front of ALL the experts in his field, plus billions of viewers across the world {talk about pressure}.  just because he has a job performing in front of a camera means that he should be charismatic and outgoing all the time?  not to mention, i'm sure he was pretty distracted having his own nomination at the end of the evening.  i read recently that james franco got into acting as a way to overcome his extreme shyness, which seems like an accurate description when we see him in interviews and hosting award shows.  would we be harsh on anyone else that we knew had phobias of public speaking or felt completely socially awkward?  why do we expect SO MUCH from people who work behind the camera?  whether or not you "like him as a person" {as if any of us actually know him in person}, you can't blame him for being shy and awkward.  sure, maybe he wasn't the best choice to be a host of a major award show, but we should send those complaints to whoever is the hiring powers behind the academy awards.  instead, i think we should praise james franco for taking such a huge risk and facing what was probably an enormous fear.

Suddenly an unconscious Argentinean fell through my roof. He was quickly joined by a dwarf dressed as a nun.

No 211 - Moulin Rouge! Director - Baz Luhrmann I remember very vividly when I first saw this film. I was in sixth form when it came out, and was a student of 'Theatre Studies', so there was naturally a lot of talk about this overtly theatrical piece. However, I was not convinced that I would enjoy it, it looked overtly soppy, a chicks film. Finally I was convinced to go and see it (Tom Done, who was in the year above and who was utterly terrifying, though who is now a good friend, won me over by stating the line I have used as a title. Surely a film MUST be good if it features unconscious Argentinians and cross dressing dwarfs!). So one evening I went to the Regent cinema in Wantage ( now shut down ) with my best friends Hanna and Richard . The film completely blew me away, and is the only film that has managed to firmly grab my attention in the first second, as the curtains open and the conductor arrives to play the 20th Century Fox theme. It uses the production company's

.408 CheyTac Fredo Viola Aug 29, 10:51 AM This is a real bummer to me. I pride myself on making as little an impact on the environment as I can, but make my living using computers to make music... and I use all Apple products... so I'm feeling really guilty about this right now. 408 CheyTac final.jpg appleguy123 Apr 22, 10:32 PM Because it is the third longest example of drift on PRSI (for now) and since appleguy123 started that one, of course he wants it to continue. Caught! :D Knowing how the PRSI works one naive bump could help me achieve the record. Maadi-Griffin 50BMG Pistol Draythor Apr 13, 04:33 PM GGJstudios Thanks, man. I connect to other drives so rarely that I have never bothered to look this up myself. OT: Does anyone one know why Apple hasn't got this built in?
