Le Oscars and Le french

Hey you crazy kids – you look great

This is going to be short as I don’t have much on my mind (pretty standard)

Just watching the Oscar nominations come in. I think it’s an amazing year for films.

The Hangover, Up, Avatar, Hurt Locker and especially Ingloriuous Bastards are all awesome examples of great film making and writing

I’m constantly struck by two tendancies – a lot of which comes from the critical class – one is to view everything contemporary as less than films of yester year and second is to view things like comedy or action adventure as ‘less’ when actually they’re harder to do than drama.

I think the Oscars need two things – first a best comedy oscar as comedies never get any recognition of any kind and second for more actors to thank the writers!

In other news I’ve been in France for the EPT. It was a lot of fun. And I’m stuck for something insightful to say. …..Oh they call wifi – wee fee….which is amusing to me!
