I really do try to give the ‘Oscars’ some thought… and I always hope that they will pull their head out of a very dark place and find something we can all get behind… but then….THAT wouldn’t be ‘art’ then would it?
Art is supposed to be stuff that we ‘don’t understand’ or ‘don’t like’ but… is suppose to be good for us, educate us and help us build a better world. riiiight!
Now that takes me to the movies that are supposed to be in consideration for “Best Picture.” This is a category of movies that few people generally ever see… and the winner is usually the one that no one sees at all. So, what do the ‘masters’ tell us are the best of the best?
“this Sunday is up for grabs among the far-flung ensemble drama
“The Departed,” the war story “Letters From Iwo Jima,
” the road comedy “Little Miss Sunshine”
the British-royalty tale “The Queen.”
So… with ‘classics like these… I am surprised that Obama isn’t presiding over the effort. so now for the BIG AWARD…. and the winner of this year’s “Weenie Award” is the entire “Academy”!

The word ‘scapegoats’ comes to mind when I think of our two Border Patrol agents rotting in prison for shooting ‘in the leg’ a fleeing Mexican drug dealer.
You’ve got to admire a guy who is willing to defend his ‘craft’ from the slings, arrows and paint of infamous “anti-fur mob(s)”… we all know who they are… in fact, I thought of a great screen play entitled “Vegetarians Gone wild.”
