No, I’m not talking about the Amazing Race. Apparently some conservative fatheads – including El Supremo Fathead, Rush Limbaugh – have purposefully revealed the “surprise” of Million Dollar Baby because they don’t agree with the film’s politics. Roger Ebert is pretty damn mad. (Note: Don’t go there if you have any plans to see the movie.) Of course, the really important question here is: How will this affect the Oscar Contest? Could a conservative backlash against the film hurt the actors’ chances to win? Could this swing the Directing prize back towards Scorsese? Only the Soctopus knows for sure…
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
