I think she was looking for a reason, and a way to start drawing boundaries. He is still a good friend, and its just one of those scars most old friendships carry. For sure he should have stood up to her; that's why I love all my friends here, no one who posts here ever compromises, or is weak, or lets down a friend. Can you imagine Sebastian's fiancee telling him Coltrane can't make the speech- he'd call bullshit!

This must have been a good toast. You should have done it anyway.

It is amazing how such a superior group of people ended up in this one small corner of the Internet, isn't it.

Wow, I'm a Lethal Weapon!

So don't f@#k with me, people!

you're a Lethal Weapon!

Your personality is actually determined by two personality sub-types - your primary, or dominant sub-type, and your secondary sub-type. You are a Lethal Weapon which means you are a Seeker / Thinker Your primary sub-type is defined by "Seeker" characteristics and your secondary sub-type is defined by "Thinker" characteristics.

That means you're open-minded, enthusiastic, and popular. Chances are you might even break the rules sometimes. You're motivated and serious, and you always jump at the chance to take on a new project. Innovation and abstract thinking are your strengths.

How do we know all this? How do we know you get cabin fever if you're cooped up too long? Or that sometimes you'd rather just work on an independent project so you can concentrate without having to deal with people? How could we have divined that you secretly question your self-worth?

Because while you were taking the test, you answered four different types of questions — questions that measured confidence, apprehension, willingness to take risks, and your focus on experience versus appearance — the primary traits that determine your personality. Based on your responses, we determined your personality type, Lethal Weapon.

And that's just scratching the surface.

Concur that this test is a suck-up.

Hmmm. I wasn't aware of this. Which Roman emporor led the conversion to Judaism?

Please post the text of the toast. We don't mind that it is a draft -- we won't boot you for grammar like your buddy's bitch did.

When I was ready to offer a colorful best man toast, the bride took a much more practical approach. She knew I was poor and the tux was pricey, and sat me next to her. She then informed me that she had a glass of red wine and knew how to use it.

I behaved.

He was booted more for his speech impediment, but that's not important here. We know from reading the piece from AG's new piece that no weddings are not treated with sufficient genuine solemnity. More weddings need to hear the words, "you just ruined the most important day of my life."

Shocking... I'm full of shit...

you're a Politician!

You are a Politician which means you are a Success / Golden Your primary sub-type is defined by "Success" characteristics and your secondary sub-type is defined by "Golden" characteristics.

That means you're forceful, innovative, and popular with the masses. Chances are you aggressively pursue your goals, and you enjoy impressing people. You've always been surrounded by friends and loved ones and have a natural sense of showmanship.

How do we know all this? How do we know that you're perfect for any work that requires personal interaction? How could we have divined that you would never say anything that offends anyone — at least to their face?

Because while you were taking the test, you answered four different types of questions — questions that measured confidence, apprehension, willingness to take risks, and your focus on experience versus appearance — the primary traits that determine your personality.

Oscar nominations
 

Yay! Oscar nominations are out!

I'm glad that Cold Mountain didn't get the nominations that it was expecting, because frankly, it wasn't as good of a movie as the others were. Nicole Kidman has done better work.

I'm delighted to see Keisha Castle-Hughes nominated for best actress for Whale Rider. Her performance was excellent and she deserves to be up there with the others. That's a weird category this year, and it looks more and more likely now that Charlize Theron will get the award given who she is running against (Samantha Morton, Dianne Keaton, Naomi Watts.) I'm surprised that Scarlett Johansen wasn't nominated for anything.

I don't know why Russell Crowe didn't get nominated. Master and Commander was one of his better roles in recent years, and I think it was a much more complex one than Jude Law's Inman from Cold Mountain, but he may be on the Academy shit-list now after the BAFTA thing last year. I expect that unless the Academy is totally unwilling to forgive, Sean Penn will win that award. If they just can't let bygones be bygones, Bill Murray will get it.

I've seen all of the nominated best picture films except for Seabiscuit (which didn't get a directing nomination, btw). Each is very good. I think that LOTR:ROTK has the best chance of winning, though I'm not ruling out Mystic River. I expect that Sofia Coppola will win some award, though it is more likely to be for writing or directing than for motion picture.

In America has gotten a lot of nominations and I have been meaning to see this film. I've heard a lot of good things about the little girls in the film, as well as the writing, but I didn't realize that Djimon Hounsuo was in it or that he had such a good performance. (You all probably last saw him in Gladiator).

The Animated Feature Film nominations show why inventing that category sucks. Brother Bear against Finding Nemo? Please. Finding Nemo can and should compete against any of the best motion picture movies and not be shoved off into the kids table so as to not bug the adults.

I can't wait to see Christopher Guest and the rest of the Mighty Wind people on stage Oscar night singing their song.

I'm sort of sad that the only nomination that American Splendor got was a writing nod, but it was a really good movie, and you guys should all go out and rent it when it comes out.

There's something wrong with a world where Kill Bill doesn't get an Art Direction nod, but lately that category has been dominated by the period pieces, and I have a feeling that the Academy may have been a little freaked out by that movie.

Has anyone seen City of God? It got a hell of a lot of nominations, and I'm wondering if it was that good.

You're a Prancing Kitty!

Your personality is actually determined by two personality sub-types - your primary, or dominant sub-type, and your secondary sub-type. You are a Prancing Kitty which means you are a Feline / Dandy. Your primary sub-type is defined by "Feline" characteristics and your secondary sub-type is defined by "Dandy" characteristics.

That means you're magnificent, mischievous, meowish and fey. Chances are you enjoy prancing about, to and fro, hither and yon, winking and curtsying for your admirers. You've always been a foppish narcissicist, with one paw squarely on the ground, and three paws reaching for the twinkling stars!

How do we know all this? How do we know that you're perfect in your own mind? How could we have divined that you would love to dance and prance and scurry about all day, so long as you had the fabulous outfits for it?

Because while you were taking the test, you answered four different types of questions — questions that measured confidence, apprehension, willingness to take risks, and your focus on experience versus appearance — the primary traits that determine your personality. Based on your responses, we determined your personality type, Prancing Kitty.

And that's just scratching the surface. Meow!

Will someone throw the kitty a ball of twine and some catnip, please?

Oscar nominations
 

How the fuck did Johnny Depp get nominated for Best Actor?

Don't get me wrong, I thought Pirates was great fun, and Depp's character was quite entertaining. But I'm having a hard time understanding how a film inspired by a Disneyworld ride got an Oscar nomination.
