<"I do think that it is also up to the older generation to educate the younger 
one.">
 
Toochis, mah dearie, one can only "educate" the "edu-cable."  
 
This couple of generations are dumping so much that is worthwhile and that will 
enhance their lives if they only check it out and give it a chance.
 
But, take it from Ole Joe the Classical Music DJ.....the Grandchildren of these 
game/fan-kiddies will see so through their elders that they will search out and 
RE--discover ALL the wonderful and varied music and live and celluloid 
entertainment that they've never known.  And they will berate their elders for 
denying it to them!!
 
Final comment on rant--- 
Can't you see one of these tatooed-and-nose-bangled couples of today, snogging 
in about 40 years in front of the TV (oh, they'll still have those!!!) as the 
"golden oldies" are being hawked for download.  
"They're playing our song," the couple will giggle.
And the song will go:
"Mutha-F***ah, Mutha-F***ah, 
 S**t, S**t, S**t!"
 
And their kids will roll their eyes, slip into their rooms and put on the 
earphones and listen to:  "Ludwig V..."

I agree Jeff.  But I do think that it is also up to the older generation to 
educate the younger one.  I can't tell you how many people older than me who 
don't even know who William Powell or Peter Lorre was.  It's ridiculous.

You saw that the stars of High School Musical were excited to get a glimpse of 
Meryl Streep.  That made me hopeful.

Maybe there were a few claps, toochis; i should say that i didnt hear many.. 
but that's also the other thing... so many of these younger, new hollywood 
"stars"--and i used that term with tongue planted firmly in cheek-- do not even 
know who the great actors were before them who made hollywood truly sparkle. 
most of these flashes in the pan wont be remembered down the road; i guess some 
will be, though, thanks to the dusty DVD's that will be on store shelves or 
digital clips available for download.

I heard some claps for Charlton Heston.  I know he had fans in the business.  
Not huge but most of the older actors didn't get huge applause.

that's right...he was memorialized last year.... technically, incorrect.... but 
i guess the academy wanted to remind everyone while his passing was still 
fresh... a year later, it would have not have received the same audience 
response that it did at last year's oscars- 


the other thing i noticed... not ONE clap could be heard when they showed 
charlton heston.


i was a bit surprised at that, needless to say.

Did they even show Heath during the memorium segment? I was waiting to see the 
audience reaction and I don't recall they showed him. And he did pass away in 
'08 so he should have been included?

That segment really angered me especially since my mentor Nina Foch was being 
honored.

Frustrating!

I thought I was the only one bothered by that! A major blunder.

All in all I thought it was a good show but what I did not like was the segment 
where they honored the people who died in the last year.  They spent so much 
time trying to feature the singer and zooming in and out on the screen that 
there were some names that you could not read.  That is not a segment that they 
should be messing with and trying to make it fancy.  Just focus on the screen 
and leave it alone.
