So it's a guilty pleasure...  I used to love watching the Academy Awards when I was younger, but now it's a very mixed feeling to fight back the nausea as the socialist Hollywood inject their political stupidity into everything they touch...  (And by this I specifically exclude Michael Moore's anti-war speech in 2003, that was awesome.  It's most of his other work that I have a problem with.)  Maybe Al Gore winning the Oscar for his steaming pile of bullshit disguised as a documentary should have been the last straw, but - meh...  Sometimes I feel that I should focus on the positive with some things and just allow myself just a bit of mindless enjoyment, or else my life will be complete and total hell...  So I'll try to take some time away from coding and trolling and have fun tonight.  I've also never streamed a live event online before, always preferring to wait for the torrent, but there seems to be plenty of ways to do it tonight.

I've only seen a couple of the movies nominated for Best Picture.  Avatar is obviously the favorite, and it's not as politically offensive to me as one might initially expect.  Inglourious Basterds was OK, but I probably expected too much and got a lot less.  I was really impressed with Up, (in spite of anthropomorphization of the "talking" dogs), so that's probably my favorite.

Nevermind, the "watch online" is vaporware bullshit.

I swear, the human race can't get anything fucking right...

Wait for the torrent tomorrow...

I'd go for either District 9 or Bastards.

Hey, well, pardon me for celebrating the one thing this country is still able to export!

You know whose opinion I want to hear about the Inglourious Basterds?  Of course - none other than America's most objective film critic, the one and only David Duke:
