It’s been 11 months, but it felt like yesterday… In all honesty, a good part of me gets off on artistic accomplishment. When something comes together like this, the feeling is- quite frankly- near-orgasmic. No joke dude. This is crack for artists. True, this could fall apart in editing. The stationary shots could completely distract […]
Snooch to the Nooch! The title says it all. Actually, it doesn’t this year, but read on. The Oscars are on February 22 at 8pm EST this year, with Hugh Jackman(??) hosting. Best Picture Oscar’s Final Five “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” “Frost/Nixon” “Milk” “The Reader” “Slumdog Millionaire” Likes: The Academy managed a curveball […]
Snooch to the Nooch! Well, there’s not much left to say that the title doesn’t already say. On Thursday, Oscar nominations for this year will be announced.
