Considering how broadly they cast the net for this years In Memorium I am really surprised by Brad Renfro not making the cut.

Also, I know Heath Ledger was most recent and unexpected but I think they really should have ended with one of the three great directors lost last year, with my vote going to Bergman.

Did anyone else see Ann Hathaway's interview at the Governor's Ball? She was asked about Heath and she looked sort of uncomfortable and said "it was a great loss". George pushed her some more and she added "he was a great talent" then repeated the same phrase. It seemed like she was holding on to some very strong opinions about his death.

Thank you for noticing, and reminding me. I knew someone was missing.

I think that with the talent we lost, they should have ended with someone else.
However, Ledger's was very recent, poignant, and the community is still reeling. Add to that, the lonely cowboy shot.. there was no other way they would have gone with that.

I had personally hoped they would end with Bergman or Plechette.

I think it was spot on to end with Ledger. It affected a lot of people when he passed away so suddenly. His death was a huge story for quite awhile. I found it nice that they just showed shots of him in Brokeback. (But there were indeed other films he was in...)

Those Brokeback shots were the most "relevant" to a In Memoriam tribute.
Can you image them ending with a Cassanova sweep where he looked happy? Oh the horror.

Or Brother's Grimm, maybe?

And the charming "mystery" guest at last night's Gay Super Bowl Party nearly did herself out of her FIRST DISNEYLAND VISIT by categorizing Heath's demise as Death By Stupidity.

Not the right crowd for that remark ... according to the Gays at the Gay Super Bowl Party.

I drink your Milkshake!...I drink it up!!!!...

As was mentioned last night ... and I've posted somewhere's else on the LoT ... the now-infamous Milkshake line is taken from actual history ... Congressional hearings on the subject of Oil, oil, er, uh, milkshaking.

Truth is often stranger than fiction. So when something seems like it must have been made up, it's more'n likely it was too outrageous to have been made up.

Since it'll be months till I see the pic - someone want to explain the "milk shake" reference to me?
