In Memory of Heath Ledger

Such a loss, so talented and so young.
1979-2008

James Blunt and Brokeback Mountain?

....PERFECT combination. Check out this montage of clips from BBM to James Blunt's "Goodbye My Lover". Definitely the best fanvid I have seen to date! It's great!

The Oscars

Well BBM didn't win Best Picture, and while that is disappointing, it did win for best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score and of course, Best Director Ang Lee. Was the film hyped up way to much to attract an audience? Maybe. All in all it was a good night for the Oscars and Jon Stewart was mildly entertaining but what the hell was up with Three 6 Mafia winning an Oscar?? That was absolutely insane!! Ok at least when Eminem won his Oscar, that song was moving, it was inspirational and made you want to get up and do something with your life. I'm sorry but I found none of the lyrics inspirational in the Pimp song. As far as beat or rap/flow...it didn't even have that for appeal. There are like 5 Beyonce songs out RIGHT NOW that have a better beat, better flow and better lyrics. And I don't even like Beyonce!! I just didn't understand it, what message was the Academy trying to convey??? I feel so bad for Dolly, how embarassing to lose to a bunch of thugs who spoke ebonics while on the stage for the Oscars!! It's a damn shame.
Now I'm sure the press is going to promote homophobia for Brokeback Mountain not winning, but from what I've heard Crash is a very good film, but I haven't seen it so I don't know. I don't think it's homophobia, I'd like to think the Academy voted for the best picture...if I could just get over that whole Oscar song thing going to the that group, who sings about how hard it is for a pimp. I mean really, how hard could it be for a pimp?? You get to wear the big Fedora's, you don't have to do anything for your 90% cut from the ho you just sent out, you get to drive a caddy, you get to have 6 kids by 6 different women and not take responsibility for any of them. BUT YOU DEFINITELY DO NOT DESERVER AN OSCAR!!!...no mater how hard it is for a pimp out there!!

Brokeback Mountain Leads the Oscars!

The great thing is that Jake Gylenhall got a nod for best supporting actor, I thought he was snubbed in the Globes. Wouldn't that be cool if it actually won best picture? As a gay man that would be a proud day!
Here is what the movie has been nominated for:
BEST PICTURE "Brokeback Mountain"
BEST DIRECTOR Ang Lee, "Brokeback Mountain"
BEST ACTOR Heath Ledger, "Brokeback Mountain"
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR Jake Gyllenhaal, "Brokeback Mountain"
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS Michelle Williams, "Brokeback Mountain"
BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY "Brokeback Mountain," Screenplay by Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana
BEST ORIGINAL SCORE Gustavo Santaolalla "Brokeback Mountain"
BEST IN CINEMATOGRAPHY Rodrigo Prieto "Brokeback Mountain"

In any case I found this video (I love youtube.com) and it's pretty cool. Music set to scenes from the film.
Enjoy!
