I was wondering if it might have been because she was strictly teevee, but apparently she was in a couple of talkies as well, including Logan's Run (which I did not previously know)

But she was in Mame!

As for Farrah, I can think of at least three others: The Apostle, Extremities, and Saturn 3, which featured a then much talked about "nip slip."

George Clooney just gets hotter and hotter. I wasn't a big fan 10 years ago, and now he seems irresistible. His (non) reaction to the jokes made about him was hilarious.

We assumed it was because your speech timer starts once your name is read, so the faster you make it to the stage, the longer you have to speechify. But then some lady jumped on stage and just started talking. The director seemed a little weirded out by it, but not abundantly so, but clearly something was amiss.

Well, turns out she was a producer that bailed on the project a year ago but still wanted to take credit. Salon interviewed both of them.

We KNEW something was not right about that episode. It was all just very odd. It was almost as odd as the Streaker Incident (but not as funny).

I don't know why I'm constantly defending the writer/producer of The Hurt Locker lately, but seein' as I might know a bit more (oooh, because I'm privy to the DVD commentary), I think he just meant that it was a totally independent, non-studio film. They weren't beholden to anyone, and it's great that they got to make an Oscar-calibur movie outside the studio system. That doesn't happen much. I'm not sure if he came off too cocky during his speech.

Heheh, his film surely did not restrain from campaigning. In fact, the overzealous campaigning by a producer who was subsequently dis-invited from attending the Oscars may have gone too far astray from even Oscar-campaigning ethics. But, as they say, no publicity is bad publicity. And the envelope-pushing stunt apparently did not harm their chances.

There's been a lot of complaints from the military about the film, ranging from such stupidities as they were wearing the wrong uniforms to claims no one ever acted as wild cowboy as Renner's character did in the film. On the other hand, one such soldier is actually suing the production with claims the character was based entirely on him. Pfft, can't be both ways.

In any event, the writer was there - embedded with the military, and based events on things he witnessed. The character is an amalgam of different soldiers in the confusing first days of confronting an unexpectedly overwhelming number of IEDs in Iraq, and then - yes, fictionalized on top of that to have gone a bit beyond what military-types might find plausible.


I don't think The Hurt Locker is the best movie ever made, or even the best of the year. But it was better than Avatar, so if that was the choice - I think the better film won (though, imo, two of the other 8 noms were clearly head and shoulders better than either one of those front runners. So, if you haven't yet - see both Inglorious Basterds and A Serious Man.)

Maybe I just read him wrong. I tend to roll my eyes at people who insist on defining themselves as "outside the mainstream" and then get pissed off when they subsequently lose out on the benefits of the mainstream. Perhaps I projected that attitude onto him.

We've seen Inglorious, have Hurt Locker at home ready to watch, and added A Serious Man to the queue before the awards were over. If we manage to find time between feedings to watch those 2, we'll have seen over half* of the nominees, quite the coup for us.


* We can only claim over half because we saw the first 30 minutes of District 9 before I had to bail due to nausea
