Not me... I love watching the Oscars every year. -- Steven Warren Hill [email protected] [email protected]

The show sucks, everybody watches it anyway, and then whines about it the next day. Man, I LOVE to bitch, kvetch and raise my voice in righteous indignation at the mediocrity being broadcast every year, but at some point, I made the decision to (drum roll).... QUIT WATCHING. I started doing this 4-5 years ago and watching a couple really, really good films instead. It's 15 hours of my life I didn't piss away, and..well, last night, I watched A STAR IS BORN.... which I had never seen...on TCM. Lovely movie; the color was lush, the sound wonderful, and Garland was heartbreaking. I then watched MIDNIGHT IN PARIS, which I also loved. (If I was transported back to that time, I'd immediately find where Django Reinhardt was playing, get me a big bottle of Absinthe, and settle in for some serious guitar playing while green fairies danced around my head.) Than I watched my favorite guilty pleasure, THE WALKING DEAD. (Nathalie, do NOT watch this show, sweetie. You'll be in a rubber room forever.) A pal of mine defines insanity as "doing the same thing over and over and and expecting different results". Sounds like the Oscars to me. I love my MOPO pals. Stop hurting yourselves before I have to do an intervention on you.
