Originally posted by Fugee I liked Brittany Murphy's dress but think it needed someone with a little more innate elegance to pull it off.

She would be more tolerable if she didn't come across absolutely coked out every time she appears in public.

Do the Patriots cheat? I haven't watched enough games this year to comment, but I will be paying attention on Sunday.

Cate Blanchett was the best looking pregnant woman in many awards shows. I love that she didn't do the black dress thing.

I hate award shows, mostly because I loathe celebrity acceptance speeches with every fiber of my being, but it was on in the background, so I had to watch and/or listen to some of it.

Cate Blanchett always looks great.

My personal vision of hell is populated only by Sarah Jessica Parker and to be sure that it's hell and not just heck, they'll set it up so she WON'T EVER SHUT UP!

CZ-J may be pod people, but she'll have a place on my laminated list at least until she's 55. Get more, indeed.

Ditto for Jennifer Garner, small bust for Hollywood and bad dress or not.

No designer on earth could have made Peter Jackson look good. He looks like he's lived on Bratwurst and Miller High Life for about ten years. Which of course takes nothing away from his talent.

I will never understand the appeal of Jack Nicholson.

I wanted to vomit when they were giving out an award of some sort, and the nominees were Jack Black, who looked like he was coming off a three week bender, Johnny Depp, who has always creeped me out with facial hair, this being no exception, Jack Nicholson, good god, and I forget who else. It was almost enough to make me wish for the whole (passe, I know) metrosexual thing to hit Hollywood.

That must have been best male something, because Bill Murray was also in the category, won and totally phoned in his acceptance speech. Speaking of Bill, in five years, he's going to go all the way with his current look and wear only peach-colored chiffon robes. He'll wander about scattering birdseed and mumbling incoherently.

Screw Hollywood. End rant, out.

Since we have done a test.

Here's a good one. What is your personality?

I, of course, am a shark.


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

That means you've got a robust love of life and a killer instinct. Chances are you hate rules, and don't plan on getting old. You're flexible and friendly on top of being innovative and smart. In short, people respect you.

How do we know all this? How do we know you're extroverted and love being in the spotlight? Or that your mantra is "work hard, play hard"? How could we have divined that dull parties make you weep?

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, Shark.



I think these tests just suck up to you.

Good god. Apparently, there was even a 2003 remake of this film with Sydney Steele



"What Horny Fools These Mortals Be! You've never seen Shakespeare like this! In the wildest-ever adaptation of Wlliam Shakespeare's epic tale, a love charm turns an enchanted forest into a sensual fantasy you won't believe! From mistaken identities to mistaken mountings, it's all here! With elaborate costumes, exotic settings, amazing special effects, and scorching sex, this Shakespearean interpretation is destined to be a carnal classic!"

I would like to see a cross between this and the Kirsten Dunst teen musical version ("Get Over It") of A Midsummer Night's Dream, particularly if they give Kylie Bax's larger parts a larger part.

Unintentional comedy and porn could be a great mix.

Da (is it obvious that I've been suffering through months with Showtime but no HBO?) ve.

Heard the speech on Stern, with Robin's interpretation pointers. It was funny, if you're in the "know." Of course, only Str8 and I are truly in, for Hollywood.

Jack Palance's charecter tells Billy crystal's character" I shit biggar'n you" (or crap, can't remember).

Does this mean Jack has BMs that are bigger than billy's BMs, or does it mean that Jack's BMs are bigger than Billy's body(obvious puffery, but still a great insult).

Neither, it means that billy's penis isn't big enough to stimulate jack's rectum.

Steeler, please. Pittsburgh writer? From the city of the team that lost the AFC championship, at home, to the Pats? From the city that hates the Browns, for whom Belicheck previously coached?

Even he acknowledges that the Pats are doing what's legal under the 5-yard chuck rule. Fucking learn to come off the chuck, rather than whining, you pussy Marshall Faulk, who was one foot from being part of the most disappointing string of non-championship efforts since the early 80s Montreal Expos.

Fuck off, skank. Manitoba is a hotbed of Hollywood gossip.

The BS about this is that Pacino already won his Lifetime Achievement Award when he won best actor for Scent of a Woman. Physical disabilties are a fucking acting crutch.

I enjoyed Mark McKinney as an actor who portrayed a handicapable man with the courage to take on corruption in City Hall when the local bump manufacturer tried to replace wheelchailr ramps with large bumps in "Rolling Tall."

Ever notice how nobody ever claims that the Puerto Ricans killed Christ?

That's because THERE WEREN'T ANY GODDAMNED PUERTO RICANS AROUND AT THE TIME!!! THEY WERE ALL JEWISH, YA' DUMB SCHLUBB!!!

1. Glad to see local hero Bill Murray win. After seeing Lost in Translation, I take back everything bad I ever said about Sofia Coppola.

I liked that movie too. Sweet, sad, funny, subtle and surprisingly good.

Murray's had the benefit of two really good pieces recently in Rushmore and in Lost in Translation, but they're close to the same role. Murray has pathos down cold, and it's interesting to watch that, but I'd like to see him try something else before I stop associating him with anything else he's done. Next thing you know, it'll be down to these two plus The Razor's Edge, and God knows we don't want to go there.

Ummm, I am pretty sure that there were some I-talians around back then. But I could be wrong. I think back then, they were called Romans. I think but of course, I could be wrong, the jews were being controlled/oppressed by the I-talians back then. Maybe even it was the I-talians who forced Mary and Joseph back to Bethlehem for a census for tax purposes ordered by a guy name Caesar. But I could be wrong.

Funny, though, no one says the I-talians killed jesus.

Sports rule #1- It ain't cheating if you don't get caught*. Note: this is sports only, does not apply to relationships, or lawyer stuff.

*Hank trivia- I'm supposed to be best man for a good buddy. My toast went to how we developed the rule for croquet, and reminded him that it doesn't apply to married life. At an early drunken meeting with happy couple, I did an early draft. SHE demoted me to a non-speaking usher role. Didn't even just reject speech and ask for rewrite. That is my history, and part of the reason I'm unsympathetic when some new poster cries about negative feedback to something they say. Walk a mile in my shoes, then complain.

Wow. That's pretty impressive that she had the balls to demote you, and also, that you said something that bad that she decided she had to do so. As far as your buddy, who apparently is a big pussy (or was concerned about his ability to obtain some), why didn't he stand up for you?
