Sideways made me totally uncomfortable b/c virtually every male person I knew identified with it, and I found that totally totally disheartening, seeing as I want to think more highly of men than I possible could think of either of those two schmucks. And Little Miss Sunshine is supposed to be "charming" and "cute" but it just seemed like same ol' little-kid-beauty-pageant gag after same ol' dirty-mouthed-grandpa gag. *yawn" Well, I'm sure you'll have your own witty and wise thoughts!Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13312642466438795073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906227.post-79475769808020854902007-02-20T14:36:00.000-06:002007-02-20T14:36:00.000-06:00We saw half Nelson last night.

You saw racism for 60s radical parents, you saw a white guy who wasn't trying to change the world, he was so unsure of himself both professionally and personally.<BR/><BR/>As far as Dreamgirls, I was curious. It had so much hype and I didn't see the Brdwy version, besides my wife made it mandatory. ;-)<BR/><BR/>I'm gonna see Little Miss Sunshine tonight.bmitd67https://www.blogger.com/profile/17733514127804471754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906227.post-13012878134878953992007-02-20T12:42:00.000-06:002007-02-20T12:42:00.000-06:00Jai-- just FYI, I saw Half Nelson this past weeken...Jai-- just FYI, I saw Half Nelson this past weekend.. and though it's kinda a whitey-in-the-hood kinda story, it's pretty great, as far as Oscar contenders go. I lacked the energy to go into too much detail when i was posting last night but Ryan Gosling's wasn't the only noteable performance therein.<BR/><BR/>I can't believe you paid money to see Showgirls-- uh, I mean-- Dreamgirls. C'mon, you knew you wouldn't like it...Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13312642466438795073noreply@blogger.com
