THE OSCARS: Part Two

I decided that picking shorts was stupid because I’d never seen any of them, so I’m currently at 4/4, which is pretty good so far. Best Make-up: Star Trek!!! 5/5 and I am very happy because they definitely deserved it. It’s not like Avatar could have been nominated anyway, because it was all CGI. I’m thinking about not including Best Documentary either, because I haven’t seen those yet either. We will see. While they show the nominees for Best Adapted Screenplay, I want to say that Rachel McAdams has a gorgeous dress on. Precious won, which is cool, but I chose Up in the Air, so I’m at 5/6. He seems happy about it, so that’s nice. Best Supporting Actress… this should be an easy one… and the winner is… Mo’Nique! Yay! I am super happy about this one because she was amazing. She got a standing ovation too, which is neat – I would cry if Meryl Streep stood up for me. 6/7. Best Art Direction goes to… Avatar!! Hooray! 7/8. I am excited that they got that – not that there was any real contest...

More on the LOST premiere

I am currently rewatching the season premiere of LOST season 6, and I have noticed a few extra things that I missed the first time around. First off, apparently they aren’t still in 1977. I totally missed that scene the first time – they show up at the Swan wreckage after Desmond blew it up. So are they in 2005 or whenever that was? Or have they caught up to the same time period as John Locke and Sun and Richard? Second, I guess Jacob really is dead – but what was he? He could be just like Richard maybe and just never ages, but then how does he have magical special powers and can bring people to the island but can die that easily – because let’s face it, it was way too easy to kill him and Mr. X Smoke Monster Man should have been able to do that forever ago. Speaking of people who die really easily, let’s talk about Jacob’s people who find John Locke’s body. They died way too fast and way too easily, which leads me to believe that when Jacob dies and says “they’re coming,” he isn’t tal...

So far so good

In anticipation for the Oscars (with the fall of pirate bay I was behind and didn't get to watch anything before the globes), I have now seen several nominated or potentially nominated films, and I have been pleasantly surprised. Last year, most of the movies were, for lack of a better word, dull. Yes, Into the Woods was weird and boring, but some of the others have been fantastic. And don't get me wrong, I love musicals as much as the next person - actually, I love musicals more than the next person. Rent , Chicago, Cats , Phantom, Book of Mormon, you name it, I usually love it. But Into the Woods was just bizarre. I saw a televised stage production of it with Bernadette Peters in college and loved it, so I assumed the movie would be that much better. But apparently college me was stupid and thought the songs were good when they were actually terrible. Sondheim rules, but not this time - the lyrics are ridiculous and sound like a third grader wrote them. And I'm telling ...
