    This just goes to show how fucking out of touch and retarded the Oscars are. I mean seriously? Fucking Life of Pi picks up the most Oscars? Granted the competition this year wasn't all that great (Argo was good, Lincoln was good, Django was incredible but was never going to clean up) but COME THE FUCK ON. Life of Pi is fucking saccharine-dripping bullshit with a giant dose of bad CGI. And yes, CGI only needs to be bad once to pull you out of the story, and while some of the effects were great, that fucking whale looked like they'd pulled it from a cutscene from Diablo II.

    Man, fuck Life of Pi.

    It's not like it won Best Picture. The score was good, and some of the visual effects were legitimately great -- actually, "well this is a pretty movie" is basically the entire point of it.

    I'll say this about Affleck, he took his shots for alot of his failures in the early 2000s *cough* fucking Gigli *cough* and really came back strong. And that's as someone who was an Affleck hater for a long time. I'm a big Matt Damon fan and Good Will Hunting is probably my favorite movie, and I always refused to give Affleck much credit and while he crushed his role, I chalked it up to him just playing his Boston self. However, there was a switch that went off somewhere, probably after his scene got cut from Elektra.

    Gone Baby Gone was a great movie, the Town was fantastic, his back and forth with Jason Bateman was one of the few redeeming points of Extract, and while maybe not Best Picture worthy, Argo was pretty fucking good as well. He was also good in Hollywoodland which is kind of an underrated movie. So I've turned 180 on him. Plus he seems like he's actually a pretty decent dude who no longer takes himself too seriously

    Jennifer Lawrence's after-Oscar interview was hilarious. Smartass responses to some of the dumbest questions I've ever heard.

    One of my friends sent it to me and I was cracking up watching it. "Do you think winning an Oscar at age 22 is a good thing?" "What happened when you tripped?" "What was the process of getting ready?"

    These interviewers have to be some of the stupidest human beings alive. You honestly can't come up with a more creative question than whether winning an Oscar is a positive development? Good for her for not pandering to their idiocy.

    So, Shannon Spake and Jamie Little never had any issues wearing fire suits - what's Erin Andrews' problem? I mean, unless she's gonna show off a little more cleavage, or let me watch through a peephole camera while she smacks her naked ass again, her career is headed in the shitter. Linda Cohn and Robin Roberts come to mind as female sportscasters who used their talent to make a career. Erin Andrews is popular because she was a hot girl Florida cheerleader. I'll have to give her credit for taking the height of her popularity at ESPN and using to get a primo contract over at Fox, but . . . she's heading towards irrelevance.

    And, this was funny:

    So it seems that Seth Macfarlane's performance has met with a resounding "meh," at least that's what CNN has told me. Watching it last night I only caught the last 2 hours or so and as funny as his off colored jokes could be his over all delivery was just off. I basically had the same MEH feeling. Maybe he just needed more time in front of audiences or something or maybe he's just not a live performer but he just seemed to me to lack stage charisma. Except the boobs song which was good, more because the crowd shots of the women he was singing about were great.

    The only Oscar host the media liked was Bob Hope. Every year the same thing. Someone stinks, they get Billy Crystal. Then everyone hates Billy Crystal. They get somebody else, the media says they suck. Then they get Billy Crystal again. I'm certain in 2150 Billy Crystal's preserved head attached to a robot body will be hosting.

    Those folks should be lucky it wasn't The Roast of Donald Trump shtick. The closest thing to Bob Hope today is McFarlane... or Ryan Seacrest.

    I would honestly love to see what Matt Stone and Trey Parker would do (to ruin the show).

    This is the first time in my life I've woken up and had no idea where I am or how I'd gotten here...fully clothed. God (or Al Gore) bless the Internet for slowly piecing this together for me. Apparently I'm still in Calgary and I was together enough to plug my phone in behind the headboard.

    And whoever put me to bed, nice touch with the 2 bottles of water.

    See you next year birthday!

    Sorry if this is a repost, but it sums Taylor Swift up perfectly

    Playing to their audience, man. The people watching this don't care about the nuances of acting, they just want to know how she put the dress on without hurting herself.

    All of which were pre-taped from other appearances or something. Fiance claimed the good TV and I happened to look up a few times from my book as she gushed about certain dresses during the useless red carpet show on ABC beforehand. They're wearing different clothes in the "Boob Song" cut-aways.

    I don't know about all of them. Jennifer Lawrence was wearing the same dress from what I recall. Likely they were just prepped to react accordingly when then song came and it was rehearsed a bit.

    Unless you're in one of the more sensitive corners of the internet. Reading those, you would assume that he must have killed a transsexual lesbian black Jew with a chainsaw while you were taking a piss.

    On the scale of what might be expected from him, it was downright tame.

    By chance, did anyone here have their picture taken with Mickey Mouse down on The Strip about 1-3 years ago?

    If yes, it was probably my cousin...his job was to put on the mouse suit and get his picture taken with tourists.

    He was high on heroin the whole time.

    To be fair, smacked up is about the only way anyone could do that job and not resort to gunplay.

    It is always really unsettling when you walk in on the group of Latinos changing in and out of their Elmo costumes in this one entrance to the Times Square subway station.
