Best Picture
Why Avatar shouldn't win best picture. Because he stole the story, and the story has too many lose ends. It is a B movie not an A movie. Yes he spent years making it, yes he spent millions of dollars, yes there was massive coordinated collaboration. But it was incomplete on many levels, and having seen The Hurt Locker, and none of the other nominee worthy movies out there. I'm shocked anyone would pick Avatar as the completely better movie, when clearly it lacked the very essence of movie making, telling stories.
Twitter
I'm experimenting with Twitter. At first I would just check individuals twitter pages, started with Sockington, which lets face it takes a freaking long time. So I gave in and created an account. In a way I'm intrigued by the vernacular tweets of people I have no connection to. I am following Johnny Weir a figure skater who's on the US Olympic team this winter. He's known for being a little outrageous, and sort of has a style all his own, which resulted in a reality show on Sundance, which I'm going to watch tonight. But today he was tweeting about being delayed in the airport after the exhibition performance last night in Spokane. Wow he's a real human being, who has real problems, and can talk, and doesn't just spin around all pretty on ice skates.
