I watched the Academy Awards the other night. One of those guilty little things you can do when you have cable. Very entertaining even though you got the feeling half-way through that Slumdog Millionaire was going to win Best Picture and just about everything else it was nominated for. Danny Boyle didn’t fly all those people from India for nothing…

I wanted Dark Knight to at least get nominated for Best Picture. It really is a great movie. The trendy thing is to say how flawed it is. I saw no flaws until the third viewing. Any movie that can get me to sit three hours three times in total rapture is doing something damned good. Hell if I looked at the virgin Mary for nine hours I think I can come up with a few criticisms. What do you people want? Perfection?

I’m gearing up for a presentation. Thing is I did it in Toronto already. So my motivation is lacking. So wish me good luck for Friday. And then I’ll present it again in two weeks. See why I can’t be a teacher… Too much repetition kills me. I like boredom some times, but this scheduled boredom is where I draw the line.
