Denial Ain't Just A River On Planet Pandora
Not that I pay any attention to the Oscars as a rule, but I am pleased to read that a movie about real people in the real world got Best Picture instead of one about computer-animated make-believe Noble Savages. I am even more pleased that Avatar apparently didn't pull anything higher than "Best Computer-Geek Tricks." You can put a lot of hi-tech whistles and bells on long-haired hippie crap, but it still smells just as bad. (Sooper-sekret message to James Cameron: HA-ha!)
Indeed, I may even have to see The Hurt Locker, although I don't have much of a stomach for that kind of thing. Danger UXB was hard enough for me to sit through.
