On a side note, I finally saw The Big Lebowski last weekend. Only 12 years late. Geoff Schwartz was funny as hell in that movie and he played some great right tackle atthe end of our season. Multi-talented ftw.

Saw it last night. Really enjoyed it. Thought Renner was great in the leading role and thought it was every bit the best movie of the year and the best war movie since Saving Private Ryan, supplanting Black Hawk Down in my mind.

What I don't understand is the backlash against the film. The whole of the IMDB boards was people hating on it. Makes no sense at all to me. Even more mind-bogggling were the people saying Avatar should have won Best Picture instead. Are they being ironic?

As for Precious (based on Push by Sapphire), I disagree with the perceived notion that a movie has to be a soul-crushing drama to win Best Picture. Most people think that if a movie is fun to watch, it's not Oscar worthy. Well excuse me if I think that sitting through two hours of poverty, child abuse, racism, teen pregnancy, illiteracy, and basically all the worst parts of the Bible is a chore, not an escape.
