DMann2003

Whoa Whoa Whoa....Springsteen didn't get in? Look man I love Slumdog, but come on guys you can have up to five Best Song Nominees, I would've figured The Boss and Eastwood would've filled out the other slots.

May I note I am happy that Taraji P Henson got nominated You know what? Warner Brothers should pull Ledger's name from contention, as a way of saying to the Oscars "You know what Academy, you're not going to profit from his death by showering him with an award, when you couldn't give a shit about celebrating the film he was a part of"

We all know who we can thank for this...Harvey Weinstien

Teddy suffered a seizure at the luncheon I see, that's got to make things a little bittersweet right now.

Guess I get another one: Paul Atreides "Father, the sleeper has awakened!"

Yep, I went and saw both today. I have no problem saying that for me The Wrestler is my favorite film of 2008. Apart from it being a great character drama, from a personal standpoint as a fan for 20 years, to see that unique connection between the wrestlers and the fans, that no other form of sport or theatre can accomplish, was moving for me to see. Seeing Pitt in Benjamin Button, Langella in Frost/Nixon and Rourke in this, all three displayed the key to great acting for me. In their eyes, I see no an actor waiting to say his next line, but they're able to convey in the moment thinking, that these men are not performing from a script, but are truly being affected by what is going on around them and responding accordingly. That for me is the key to truly great acting.

I'm deciding on driving to Columbus today to see both this and Frost/Nixon

ATOR

I would've been fine with the title change taking place that night, cause I was at that taping.

Yeah, Cult of Personality was so fitting for that Austin video.

Nope, actually it's quite a good album, just alot more covers I mean, "No Reply" is a really good song, and John tears into "Rock and Roll Music"

I know it's usually dismissed, but for postierity sake you should have put Beatles For Sale on this, after all it was a pre-Rubber Soul album. Course I voted for Hard Day's Night anyway...

Course he didn't thank ROH any, if he wins the Oscar should he thank some of the boys?

Well gee, I guess the HFPA got a bunch of kickbacks from Slumdog...just thier luck it really is that good a film.

The short version, 9 years old, 2/5/89 The Main Event The MegaPowers explode! I was aware of wrestling but never really watched until that night, and after that I was hooked. I have a home video of my brother's 1st communion party where I'm going gaga in front of the camera over a videotape of SummerSlam 88. Damn, I've been watching this stuff for 20 years now...Wow.

As My final pick, I humbly select: Season 9 Episode 15 The Last Temptation of Krust Bart Simpson: Dad! Homer: [laughs] Whoops, sorry son. I didn't know you, Jay Leno, and a monkey were bathing a clown Bart Simpson: Oh, P-U, what where you drinking, gasoline? Krusty the Clown: Yes, I was drinking gasoline, MOTHER! Can you name a car that's 12 miles wide? Smells like a steak and seats thirty-five? Canyonarooooo! Canyonaro!

Okay, I guess I missed a pick or 2, revamped Sgt. Nicholas Angel Kirk Lazarus

So we all know that Howard the Duck is coming to DVD as a Special Edition on March 10 right?

I still need to see several films, but for now (no numerical listing)... The Dark Knight, Wall-E, Iron Man, Tropic Thunder, Slumdog Millionaire, Pineapple Express, Bolt (3D),

How this one lasted this long I don't know: Season 7 Episode 14 Scenes From The Class Struggle in Springfield Homer: Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene." Mr. Burns: For god sakes, man. Use an open-faced club. The sand wedge. Homer: Mmmmm... open-faced club sandwich.

Season 4 Episode 21 Marge in Chains I only have three words..."Flinstones Chewable Morphine"

I don't know if I missed a PM or didn't get sent one, but here's my pick for Round 12: Season 2 Episode 21 Three Men and a Comic Book

Season 2, Episode 7 Bart vs Thanksgiving Homer: Operator. Give me the number for 911. Homer: [picks up Maggie as he watches a Thanksgiving football game] See those blue and silver guys, Maggie? They're the Dallas Cowboys. They're Daddy's favorite team, and he wants them to lose by at least three points. Ah, Cranberry suace ala Bart!
