And to finish out my extra-long weekend, we have another snow day today. So once again I watched Ellen and the Rock Countodown on MTV 2. Love the new Jimmy Eat World song, "Work". I'm also pretty partial now to The Mars Volta's "The Widow". Rock fans, check those out. Those are the shindig.
On to the Oscars. I thought Chris Rock did a really good job! He was funny, and I liked his little stint at the Magic Johnson theater. Especially when he found Albert Brooks (The voice of Marlin in Finding Nemo) and asked him if he saw White Chicks and Brooks turned to the camera and said "BEST movie ever! You got robbed!" Haha, that made me crack up. I also liked the thing at the beggining where he was like "If you want Russel Crowe, and all you can get is Colin Ferrel, WAIT! You doin a movie about the past, you want Russel's ass!" Haha, way to go. I didn't like how they would give awards from the aisles in some catagories, or in others get all the nominees up on stage. And they also needed more skits and stuff in between, like last year when Will Ferrel and Jack Black sung the "You're Boring" song. But I DID like the speech where Adam Sandler pretened Chris Rock was Catherine Zeta Jones and was like "Those high heels are sex-a-licious!" haha, that was good. But, the deal with the Oscars is, they could easily have made that show go all the way to 12, and it would have been great. Oh, and one more thing...
How washed up the Cpunting Crows look? I mean, I love their music, I have their cds, but STILL! Adam Duritz, ugh! It looked like he was having a siezure, the way his eyes kept rolling back in his head! And I should know, for not only am I the mO's resident Movie Guru, but I'm also the mO's resident Epileptic. Ha! Yeah, anyways that was bad. Oh, and how come Beyonce got to sing TWO songs? What's the deal? I liked her French song better, though. I wasn't surprised at any of the winners. No real upsets. Pretty standard, really. Hehe, I did like Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst presenting together, though.
RED'S MAGNIFICENT MOVIE QUOTE-OSCAR WEEK
I would hope everyone knows Gone with The Wind, but you know today's youth...
"There's nothing more irresistible to a man than a woman who's in love with him. "
I used to hate that movie cause my mom made me watch it all the time, but now of course, I love it.
Oh, "and one more thing..." as Grandfather would say in the Jackie Chan Adventures...I've been noticing alot of people around here are a)sick, b)depressed, c) super sick and depressed about it. So, quite frankly, I'm sick of this depressing attitude floating around here. And you all know that I'd come over to all your houses, and do a song and dance number to cheer you up, but I can't. So, you're gonna have to cheer yourselves up. I'm not sure how, because everyone is different, but you've at least got to try. But, in case you need some inspiration, here's a start:
Have a good week, everybody!
More snow!
