some comments

on tv and movies.

a) yay! amy adams got nominated for the best supporting actress oscar! she had better not get robbed again. i'm also gunning for wallace and gromit to win best animated feautre (sorry, myazaki).

b) ok. confession time: i am not loving this season of veronica mars as much as i expected. it actually wasn't the main plot last week that bugged me so much (though there were some serious holes), but the whole wallace thing! as he was explaining why he came back to neptune, i kept waiting for him to say, "sike! that's the plot of 'i know what you did last summer'" and bust out laughing. i mean, wallace wouldn't say "sike" but you get the point. is a hook-handed man going to show up in later episodes? sheesh. don't teenagers on tv and in the movies have anything better to do than drink beers and run over old homeless men?

at least britt daniel is on tomorrow ngiht's episode, which should be entertaining.

c) i'm still loving this season of project runway--i didn't think anything could be better than last season, but i'm totally sucked in again!

I think I enjoyed Wallace and Grommit more than Moving Castle as well, which is difficult for me to admit as a Miyazaki fan.

i was actually very disappointed with howl--reading the book, i can see there was a lot more miyazaki could have done, instead of adding in the war subplot or whatever. i read the book before the movie came out and thought, "this is perfect for him--it will be the best miyazaki movie yet!" but it didn't come close to spirited away for me.

sarah--there are other people to hate for whole new reasons! i'll keep an eye out for a marathon and try and tape it for you, if you want.

jordon--she got robbed at the sag awards on sunday.

well, she's got a shot. her category and the original screenplay category are the two that the oscars are most likely to go out on a limb. for example, marcia gay harden won for "pollock" a few years back.
