Oscar Hangover

The Academy Awards have came and went, and they weren't all that fabulous. Lots of singing and dancing, but only a few moments of real comedy... the Tina Fey/Steve martin Bit was good, and the Ben Stiller acting as Joaquin Phoenix bit was amusing. All in all, it was a little meh. And I feel sorry for Mickey Rourke having to lose to the ass clown that Sean Penn has become, but seriously when you wear a suit like this, they aren't gonna let you get on stage.



Regardless, I decided todays post would be movie related. .. here we go..

Lets start out with Nada Surf ... ok this song is a bit of a stretch, but I'm still doing it

Nada Surf - the film did not go round


Then we got a little Clem Snide (who's new album is released tomorrow) talking about movies that will never win an oscar... or an Emmy for that matter, but they will star Valeri Bertaneli. BTW, speaking of shouldn't be at the oscars, what the hell was Jennifer Grey doing there? I'm hoping they stuck her in the corner. For irony's sake.

... and that brings me to the red carpet... oh the paegentry that is the "Movie Star". Tell them Cracker.

"Our life is not a movie or maybe" says Okkervil River. Which is true unless you are Harvey Milk, or any of the documentary subjects.

It was nothing special really... it had the typical "Movie Script Ending".

I honestly couldn't wait for them to "Roll the Credits". which incidentally was the best part

because they had this awesome "Exit Music (for a Film)"...It was a Radiohead song, but it was done by Vampire Weekend.
