Oscar Contest

The 4th Annual Web-Goddess Oscar Contest will start later today! Stay tuned…

On a related note, we saw Walk the Line with Amy last night. My reaction was pretty much the same as Ebert‘s – the story was your basic predictable biopic but the real redeeming factors were the acting and the music. Joaquin Phoenix has always struck me as a little creepy, and that definitely hasn’t changed. He was so good as Cash, though, that now I kinda think of Johnny Cash as a little creepy too. I was all set for Reese Witherspoon to drive me up the wall – from her very first Minnie Pearl “Thanks, y’all!” at the Grand Ol’ Opry – but she completely won me over. In fact, I had been expecting to be blown away by this grand fairy tale romance but by the end of it, I just felt sad and angry at how June had been manipulated by this guy for years. And proposing to her on stage? That was the biggest dick move of all. I came straight home to look her up and find out if she wrote any autobiographies. (She did.) I know they were together for thirty-five years and all evidence points to them being very much in love… but I hope to hell he was the most Perfect Husband on Earth, because he had a lot to make up for. Now if you’ll go excuse me, I’ve got to search the P2P networks for “Swallerin’ Place.”


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.
