Do the Oscars matter?

I hope that this win, along with Halle Berry's and Sidney Poitier's achievement award were enough to make you warm up to the Oscars.

Well, they redeemed themselves.

I wish I had 1/10th the class of Sydney, and 1/10th the cool of Denzel, and 1/10th the trim that Russell must get.

If my tits ever start growing like Halle's, I'll be worried.

Well, it's a fine distinction, but still relevant. You see, "blow me bitch" has a certain sting , when used of the blue to denote mild irritation. As an opener, it's quite satisfactory. It also doesn't demean homosexuals the way your comment did.

Also, when you are insulting someone, the general rule is to try and "one-up" them. My comment may have been jr. high, but it was an opener, so that's okay. On the other hand, your reply needed to up the ante, and it fell miserably short. Your job was to outdo me, and you didn't really even equal me. Now if you had delivered the opening insult, I would have had to outdo you. See how it works?

Your standards are slipping. I hope this doesn't become a habit.

First annd foremost your contention that my remark was more demeaning to homosexuals is ridiculous. We each likened one another to homosexuals. You asked me to perform oral sex on you. A proper and logical jump would be that you are, in fact, homosexual. I was simply pointing out the juxtaposition of your statement(You can tell the night is getting late when I'm using words like Juxtaposition, and incorrectly to boot)

Second, while your realm of associates may constantly try to "one-up" each other, I can't see how you would do that without every playful insult leading into a full blown fight. I've always thought that the one who initiates the round of insults(you) chooses the forum that the insults stay in. You choose sophomoric digs with a bawdy nature, I replied in kind. It would have been ridiculous to reply to "blow me bitch" with some kind of Wilde-esque commentary on your drapes or something.

Benigni acted wonderfully. The movie was touching in so many ways. Additionally, you didn't need the subtitles to really understand much of the movie. That makes his performance all the more amazing. He conveyed so many things beyond words. Sorry you feel Hanks was so much more deserving. I find Hanks to be a good actor who happens to be cast in great roles because he's just a pretty great guy.

No, He didn't receive an oscar for big.

But again, this is why any argument about the oscars is pretty friggin futile. I think Hanks is a great actor. I agree with you about Philidelphia(well, not that he didn't deserve the award but that politics played a part) but we might just have to disagree.

I think that in Saving Private Ryan Hanks gave an outstanding performance in what was, in my mind, the best movie of the year. Benigni gave an obnoxious performance in a movie that I actually walked out of. So it's really just what you dig. But as to your point, watch Saving Private Ryan once without the sound. Do you think you couldn't pick up just as much, if not more? Don't give a movie excess credit because of subtitles.

Gods and Monsters I didn't see. Ed Norton, in American History X especially, I've always thought is guilty of what a lot of people accuse Tom Hanks of; Playing himself, just speaking the lines.
