Bjork was onto something!



So I watched the Oscars again tonight. I taped something on the start of the tape and and when that finished it segued into the Oscars and I figured why not? However... I took a page out of Bjork's Dancer in the Dark heroine's book. I watched it all the way up until the final number (that being Best Picture) because it was going alright up until the very last set piece (apart from Memoirs of a Geisha winning THREE. How'd that happen?). So I chose to watch it right up until Ang left the stage. And then I pressed stop. Rewound the tape. Left the room.

"Because you just know when it goes really big... and the camera goes like out of the roof... and you just know it's going to end. I hate that. I would leave just after the next to last song... and the film would just go on forever."



At The Movies was funny tonight. David eviscerated Aeon Flux to shreds. Margaret got tres emotional and teary-eyed when discussing Fateless, which is a new WW2 movie. Yes, another one. This one looks very good though. I might wait for DVD though - Margaret was nearly crying on national television when discussing it. They raved about the lead boy who I am assuming is Marcell Nagy because he's at the top of IMDb's cast list but IMDb cast lists are crazy sometimes, like how the lead will be all the way down the bottom?

I watched Bamboozled (2000, dir. Lee) last night. Er. Righteo. Thank you Jada Pinkett Smith for saving this movie. It was going moderately alright when it was being mouth-wide-open shocking (but deliberately so so I don't give it props for that) but then it just got really boring. I hated Damon Wayans though (what else is new?) C
