Issue 32
news: Once again My ego gets in the way.
Last Friday, my parents found an article about the TAFFY awards, a teen award for the best films of the previous year. None of my nominees (Which I will tell you later) won the award, but here's a quote from that issue of the Trib which particularly caught my eye- " Several entries caught our eye, including two votes for Sen. Joseph McCarthy as best villain (in "Good Night, and Good Luck.") and in the same category, a vote for (or against) "humanity" in "King Kong." " I will show you my nominees for the awards in bold, compared with the awards which won in plain text and The Academy's picks in italics.
Best Picture- crash; Crash, Good Night and Good Luck.
Best Actress- Reese Witherspoon- Walk the Line; Reese Witherspoon- Walk The Line; Patricia Clarkson- Good Night and Good Luck.
Best Actor- Jaoquin Phoenix- Walk the Line; Phillip Seymour Hoffman- Capote; David Strathairn- Good Night and Good Luck.
Best Special Effects- King Kong; King Kong; Good Night and Good Luck
Best Hero- Christian Bale- Batman in Batman Begins; David Strathairn- Edward R. Murrow in Good Night and Good Luck
Best Villain- Ralph Fiennes- Voldemort in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire; Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R, WI) as himself in Good Night and Good Luck.
Best Movie Moment- T Rex v. Kong in King Kong; Murrow v. McCarthy on See It Now in Good Night and Good Luck
My mother told me that I would probably be alone in my choices, and had it not been for the Trib's article, She would probably be right, to our knowledge. Later, at the actual awards, it was nominated for 6 oscars. It won none, and a lot of people thought that the Best Picture award really belonged to Brokeback Mountain, when we all know I believe that Good Night and Good Luck is the one who truly deserves it.
Band Name of the Day: The Mr. B. Elzebubs. A combination of Mr. B. Natural, a short about a woman who turns a boy on to the joy of music, specifically Conn instruments, and one of the names of Satan in the bible.
Film Idea of the Day: Hell On Ice: The Musical. This is meant to be a musical set in the underworld (probably the Greek) about how Bruno S (of Werner Herzog fame), Tom Waits, and Torgo combine forces with LEnny Bruce, Leonid Brezhnev, Leonard Bernstein, and Lester Bangs (who are forming a band) to stop Jimi Hendrix's evil twin.
Review of the Day: Moral Orel. It is the story of a young boy in a fundementalist christian environment who misenterprets the sayings of others to a ridiculous point. For instance: In one episode he is told that in Jesus' second coming, he won't be as nice, and he believes that his bratty little brother is the second coming of God. Another time, he believes that it is God's will that he use the necronomicon to reanimate the town's dead and when his father finds out, he is told that the rampaging zombies are not the ones causing the townspeople to be afraid, but their nudity. It is hilarious.
Quote of the Day: "Every time a bell rings an angel burns in hell!"
_______Some Protestors, Moral Orel: The Best Christmas ever.
Link of the Day: A site about placing things on cats.
