My two picks to exit exited. This ius not a spoiler since I didnt say who they were. But I think maybe I should bet bc I am getting quite good at predicting stuff these days.

Now, I didnt see the chicks perform but that Carrie Underwood looks strong- pretty blonde girl who can definitely sing. Now I am not one to say that Ai tilts outcomes to a certain type to win each season, but if I were, I would say it would probalby go to a white guy since we havent had one of those and since gay clay has had such inexplicable success and is due for his big outing scandal any second. But if we cant get the white guy, I say its her. Most of these folks cant combinme l0oks an ability very well.

Now, if I were advising her, and AI would allow it, I would have her do a Garbage tune. I saw a SNL rerun recently with Garbage on it and am reminded just how great this band is/was. Shirley hads an incredible voice and is a mesmerizing stage presence even though she just stands there and sings and doesnt do any dancing in bras bullshit. And the band rocks, its not jsut her. What happened to this band"? I loved the first two albums and havent heard squat from them since. Ditto Fiona Apple. Makes you forget there was actual talent in the late nineties. Anyone knwo anything?

I saw Finding Neverland two nights ago, and Ray is apparently on its way to me via Netflix. If all goes according to plan, I'll have seen all five nominated best picture films (Sideways seen December 13, 2004, The Aviator seen February 8, 2005, Million Dollar Baby seen February 17, 2005, Finding Neverland seen February 22, 2005, and Ray scheduled for February 24 or 26 2005.) I've also seen Hotel Rwanda (3 noms), Before Sunset (best adapted screenplay), Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind (2 noms), Kinsey (best supporting actress), The Incredibles (4 noms), Shrek 2 (2 noms), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2 noms), Spider-Man 2 (2 noms), and I, Robot (best visual effects). I'm probably going to the theater tonight for one last pre-Oscar show. I'll see either The Sea Inside (2 noms), A Very Long Engagement (2 noms), or The Merchant of Venice (0 noms). I could also go see Sideways again.

I do have to say, having seen all of the best actor performances but Jamie Foxx's Ray, I think that Paul Giamatti's performance in Sideways was better than Clint Eastwood's performance in Million Dollar Baby, and Giamatti should have gotten the nomination. Paul Giamatti had to make you like an unlikable person, and that was a very difficult task. Clint Eastwood was good, but the character wasn't as challenging of a role. I also think that Jim Carrey's performance was better thn Eastwood's but I'm irrational about Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. That said, this is a tight field, and right now I'm rooting for (depending on the hour) Johnny Depp or Don Cheadle. Don Cleadle seems to get more hours than Johnny Depp.

The actress side isn't as interesting. Hilary Swank and Kate Winslet were the only ones I've seen and I liked them both immensely. I'd be happy with either one of them winning.

Writing, I've seen most of the writing nominated movies except for Vera Drake (Original) and Motorcycle Diaries (Adapted). I'm rooting for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind for original and Before Sunset for adapted. They are my first and second favorite movies of 2004.

I’m still irritated with the cop out “Best Animated Feature” category, because I think that animated films are good enough to compete with the rest of the pack and there simply aren’t enough animated films released every year. I mean Shark Tale got an Oscar nomination? Did they even read the reviews? Same goes for Ice Age (2002) and Brother Bear (2003). Having the separate category gives the Academy a cop-out so they don’t have to consider very good movies like The Incredibles and Finding Nemo for the Best Picture Award.

ETFT and give paragraph breaks, sorry 'bout that
I have seen exactly one of these movies, Aviator, and frankly, I wasnt impressed. It would have been good as a miniseries where the disparate, yet endless, patchwork of different scenes of a life would have been better in a story type setting. But that movie was interminable. I thought the acting was excelelnt though. Best movie? something memorable and classic? No way.

The only other movies I would have wanted to see are Ray and Eternaal Sunshine. Ray was too long to see in a movie theater and Eternal Sunshine had Jim Carrey in it who tops my Revolta list so I couldnt go which was unfortunate. All in all, I say this was a bad year for movies and they should just scrap the whole fucking thing. Except for Chris Rock. I hope he doesnt get all conformist and shit.

There's a new Garbage album coming out, I think, in March. The single should be in heavy rotation on your local "alternative rock" station.

Jim Carrey is not very Jim Carrey-esque in ESOTSM. He usually annoys the crap out of me and I don't think I've seen another one of his movies since The Grinch (which I thought was terrible) but I loved him in this movie.

Neverland was great, but I'm a fan of sappy movies (yes, I cried).

All the acting was great. Frankly, the story as written would have been too sappy even for me but for the acting.

When you generically critique men as partners this way, you diminish the impact of your other bad reviews of one individual man.

Those are the quotes of disdain. Are you calling me a faux-alternative rocker? Bc I am more of a classic rock kinda gal. I am disappointed you don't like Garbage? Is it bc 1) you dont like chick singers 2) you do the flower like automatic disdain to anything made post 1980 or 3) do the automatic flower like disdain of anything that sold over 100.000 records?

I have heard this before, and the problem is confuonded by my love of the screenwriter who last worked witha quasi-revolta, Nicholas Cage (who may have just permanently settled in Revolta land though his recent nuptials and fatherhood). I gave Carrey the benefit of the doubt in the movie about my belvoed Andy Kaufman, even though it had Revolta Club member Countrney Love in it. And he wasnt very Jim Carrey in it, but he was still Jim Carrey.

The Revolta Club membership is not earned just through a certain cloying screen presence (usually over the top), but also by off camera statements. This guy is a serious assjack who takes himself way too seriously. And he is over the top to boot. I actually like Robin Williams better now, and havent seen Robin Williams Dramady since Hello Vietnam. And I sat thorugh part of the Inside the Actors Stuido with Robin Williams which was completely unwatchable. But I think I would watch Death to Smoochy over Eternal Sunshine. Too bad they cant just dub him out.

I think it was more of a "alternative isn't really 'alternative' anymore" sort of disdainful sniff -- didn't strike me that Ollie was making an anti-Garbage comment. But I could be wrong.

As for your whatever happened to Fiona Apple question, I seem to recall reading recently that her label (Sony?) is refusing to release her latest work as "uncommercial."

Apropos of chick singers, I am listening to the Donnas as we speak. Uh, type. Whatever.

He probably just wants to give you a gift.

(spree: CNN news article about a man suing woman for emotional distress after she used sperm she collected from him via oral sex to later impregnate herself, unbeknownst to him. The court dimissed his charges of fraud and theft: "She asserts that when plaintiff 'delivered' his sperm, it was a gift -- an absolute and irrevocable transfer of title to property from a donor to a donee," the decision said. "There was no agreement that the original deposit would be returned upon request.")

Not Bob is Not Wrong. Garbage is fine; no real strong feelings about them one way or another. I'd probably fuck Shirley Manson.

Nothing against chick singers here. Love the first 2 Pretenders albums. Love Lucinda Williams. Love Neko Case.

And speaking of classic rock, at a recent auction for Ruth Bader Ramone's skool, I scored a 4 CD set of the Dead's June '73 show at RFK (with ABB on the 3rd set), plus a 2-cd JGB show from Pittsburg in '76. Very nice. Parenthood has its pluses; if only she was old enough to have dope-dealing friends.
