[QUOTE=Tracy Lord] In all seriousness, I haven’t seen the film – is it a _good_ documentary, not just a relevant one? [/QUOTE] It was pretty good, it really was. Rent it, it is worth it. You even get a bonus Futurama cartoon short. 😉 Jim ---

[QUOTE=Tracy Lord] In all seriousness, I haven’t seen the film – is it a _good_ documentary, not just a relevant one? [/QUOTE] Yes, it makes a dry, boring subject into something fascinating and real and scary. Clint and Ennio! ---

[QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic] Has anyone seen that German film that won Best Foreign Language? I kind of want to say **Pan’s Labyrinth** got screwed but I don’t know that the German wasn’t better. [/QUOTE] I loved it, and did indeed enjoy it more than Pan’s Labyrinth, though I should admit I wasn’t _quite_ as enraptured by PL as many people here were (while still very much enjoying it), so my opinions might not be shared by many people here at the SDMB. But they were, apparently, shared by the Academy! 😃 ---

I’m just glad _Deliver Us From Evil_ lost so that we don’t have to hear Bill Donohue complain about Hollywood’s anti-Catholic bias again. [QUOTE=What Exit?] You even get a bonus Futurama cartoon short. 😉 [/QUOTE] Is it the same one Paramount used to promote the film online, with Bender asking Gore if he plays a streetwise pimp tryin’ to save his little brother from the thug life? ---

[QUOTE=Annie] Clint’s going feeble, or tied one on in the back? [/QUOTE] He did seem waaay out of it and bumbling throughout the introduction. ---

Oh, how I love _Gabriel’s Oboe_ from _The Mission_. It’s probably my favorite piece of music. ---

What did this genius do to deserve Celine Dion singing his song?! Damn flap-head! And I really think they should have a song sung in English for a US awards show. ---

[QUOTE=yojimbo] She’s an annoying bint to the nth degree but it has to be said she’s got a great set of pipes on her. [/QUOTE] No, no it does not. She doesn’t. So many sing so much better, truer and cleaner without the shrillness of her voice. ---
