apocalypsosCharlie Sheen can bend his pinkie finger into a ninety-degree angle. Oh, yeah, that's something I didn't need to see before I went to bed. *wince*
So I've been killing time watching the pregame interviews for TAR on CBS. (Yay! Only a week and a half until the first episode! Thank you, God, for giving me something to obsess over while Lost goes away!) Hee ... Rob and Amber look so dopey-cute in their interview. Yeah, they're a little arrogant about the whole thing, but they won Survivor, so I guess they deserve a wee bit of arrogance about it since they actually have a winning track record. And Lynn and Alex, the gay couple, are freakin' adorable, although how the hell is one of them hiding the fact that he's gay from his family? Those two ping so much gaydar, I'm amazed they're not trailed by their own personal Village People cover band.
In other news, am now washing all of my laundry. I think it says something about me that when I do wash all of my clothes, I have a load of whites, a load of jeans, a load of darks, and a load of Holy-crap-my-eyes!-I'm-BLIND pinks, reds, and oranges.
*sigh* Boy, there's just nothing on TV after midnight, is there? (... she says, as she sits four feet away from 230 DVDs ...) And I have to get up early to go pick up my paycheck. Again. Because there's nothing like wasting an entire morning because someone else is an asshole. *grrr*
AWARD SHOW JUNKIE OF EDIT: Spotted on IMDb ...
Some of Hollywood's lesser known talent figure that they'll bear the brunt of Oscar producer Gil Cates's announced plans to group some of the nominees together in the audience and have the presenter open the envelope revealing the winner standing there. Three-time Oscar-winning editor Walter Murch reportedly sent an email to the motion picture academy Wednesday accusing it of applying a "People magazine index" to the nominees. And Lea Yardum, a spokeswoman for both the American Cinema Editors and the Visual Effects Society, was quoted by today's (Thursday) New York Post as saying, "There's a sense of devastation around this. They've worked so hard to get these artists the recognition they richly deserve; for the Academy to even consider taking it away is a true slap in the face."
You know, I haven't said anything about this yet, but Gil Cates has got to be on some pretty good crack to think this is a good idea. Hey, Cates! If you're so friggin' worried no one will watch this year because blockbusters didn't get nominated, it won't help if people keep flipping onto the show to see this crap. It's an awards show, damn it. PUT PEOPLE ON A STAGE.
