Solomon ó Harold and Kumar is great, but it's no Get Crazy or Roadie...

Roger – for the record, Jim Taylor is a nice guy (college friend).

Actually didn’t watch last night. I find I don’t really care any more.

Harold and Kumar rules!

I tuned in just in time to see Rock bashing Bush, then giving a sincere thank you to the troops overseas “defending freedom” – after bashing their Commander in Chief and everything they’re sacrificing for. Some people are just not well thought-out.

I actually think he’s funny, although I too am sick of the “Hi! Did you notice I’m Black?” humor.

I didn’t watch much beyond that, although I did flip through once in awhile. Iron Chef America was on.

Funny, the group that named Nazi-propagandist Leni Riefenstahl for honor last year, couldn’t spare a breath for Theo Van Gogh this year, and they celebrate a film that honors a mass-murderer, Che, when if he had had his way, that broadcast would have been coming to us from the inside of re-education camp.

Feh.

Rene Zellweger’s cheeks are just bizarre.

Instead of watching these narcissists preen, my wife and I put our brains on hold and took in the neo-stoner opus Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle.

From what I’m reading here, I am convinced we made the right viewing choice.

Robin Williams has been doing that gay Elmer Fudd thing for 30 years now. You’d thinking he could at least update it a little bit ó “Elmer Fudd, hunting the wabbits wif his big mean gannon, I mean cannon…” ó Oh, well, I guess they haven’t heard of the internet in Hollywood yet…

Deep down the whole Che cult is just about looks. Can you imagine people still running around in Che t-shirts if he had just been some ordinary looking guy? Having grown up in Puerto Rico, where Cantinflas was hugely popular, so help me, but Che's a dead-ringer for Mario Moreno.

I had forgotten the Oscars were on until the news discussed winners this morning.

Like Eric Dreamer, I watched Carnivale- what a great show. Next week, Deadwood at 9 and Carnivale at 10. – back to back quality TV goodness.

I normally don’t watch the oscars anymore, but we went to a friends house last night and we all filled out our own ballots, which made it a bit more interesting. (I got 7 out of 24)

Anyway, it was good to see Hollywood showing their true colors again…which confirms my reasons for not going to the movies as often as i used to. I really wish “entertainers” would just stick to “entertaining”. Chris Rock’s opening monologue was just pointless and boring. The only thing i enjoyed about this entire show was the Johnny Carson clips and the “Believe” song, other than that, the rest of the show was a waste of time…in my opinion.

In response to two questions asked:

The Yo Yo Ma piece is by Bach.

The Chris Rock “accountant” threat referred,I’m sure,to his two gigantic Price Waterhouse”accountants” who had appeared earlier with him.

After wading through the Yahoo photos of the Oscars, and FINALLY getting to Rene Zellweger… yes, she should re-think that black helmet hair do.

Also, she is in one her skinny phases, when she breaks out into a tiiiiight dress, but this time it looks as if she has also been into serious weightlifting, which makes her look a mite odd.
