The Starf**king Compass

And the first version was so majestic. Darn.

Zombies! Kidman! Craig!

I can't tell whether the bloody streaked zombies make this poster entirely awesome, or if the weirdly silly photoshopping on Nicole and Daniel make this poster entirely shit.

I'm leaning more towards positive, but something just seems... off. Especially with the image of Nicole. Does anybody else feel that? I dunno. I can't put my finger on it. Maybe with a different movie still it wouldn't look so... awkard? Hmmm. I'm going to need to ponder this one a bit more.

Sorry guys

But I had to turn word verification on. That spam was just getting ridiculous.

I was so against putting that on because I hate it usually with it's crazy fonts and ridiculous lengths sometimes, but that's the deal.

And so this post has something positive to it...


ummm...

Okay, NOW I get it.

Daniel Craig is hot. I can now say that unequivocally because I've seen Enduring Love. The only Craig things I had seen was Munich and... er, that's it. In all the press marketing for Casino Royale though half of the time he looks majorly spunky and the other half he looked like his face had been trampled on by a herd of elephants. I think it's the tuxedo (proof). It cuts of blood and oxygen to his face. But, have you seen Enduring Love? It's a classy thriller in which Craig plays a majorly hot nerd being Fatal Attraction-stalked by Rhys Ifans. Apart from the fact that Craig is really great in the part, he's also really hot. Most of the time. God those muscles are big. So, from now on, it is my request that Daniel Craig remain as unclothed as possible and avoid harsh lighting. And if he must wear clothes then make it something less restrictive because as we've seen: His gifts must be shared, not covered. Harsh lighting is indeed another major problem. I mean, that whole elephant-face problem arises occasionally when he doesn't have the joy of a professional lighting expert - that's why there aren't that many good paparazzi photos of him.

Oscar Thoughts + People are Hypocrits

So, it's gonna be great to see Marty up on stage accepting the Best Director award (or, at the moment, it looks like it's gonna pan out that way), but it's still kinda annoying that it's for The Departed, a movie I liked but didn't love and that whenever people ask me if it's good I say "yeah..." but I don't even seem to think I sound credible. I did like it, but unlike, say, GoodFellas it hasn't stuck with me in the slightest.

People are saying they reckon Jack Nicholson could win another Oscar for this movie, but I think, if he can manage the nomination, that the award is going to Alan Arkin. Let us remember he has two nominations already (way back in the '60s) and is clearly well liked in general and in Little Miss Sunshine (and the film is liked in general too). Plus, they like rewarding old geezers in Supporting Actor almost as much as they like rewarding young hotties in Supporting Actress.

And now onto people being hypocrits. Casino Royale has a 95% score at Rotten Tomatoes. 95%. But, of course, it's only James Bond so critics won't give it any prizes and the Academy won't take notice - yet they'll all heap prizes on Scorsese's The Departed simply because it's Scorsese and it's Nicholson. Like, it's got fist fights, gun shots, blood. It's not like the Academy is known to reward that stuff in recent years.

...oh well. Such is life. It's 4.15am and I'm not tired and I'm hungry and I might go watch Ruthless People, which I taped earlier tonight when it was on TV.
