*I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AT THE YOUTH SPEAKS POETRY SLAM FINALS, LAST NIGHT
but i’m sick, so i had to skip out on it and take it slow. the non-stop eventage of last week finally caught up to me…

*PRE-OSCAR PREDICTIONS
actually, i’m not going to predict anything (‘cept jamie foxx will win (deservedly), guaranteed)..i just wanted to put this down before the ceremony happened: WHY DIDN’T “ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND” GET THE PROPS THAT IT TRULY DESERVED?!!

i know, i know. it came out way too early in the year..but it’s been such a lame year for movies, you would’ve thunk it would’ve stuck out more. jim carrey should’ve been nominated for best actor just because there was no hint of an jim carrey-isms through-out the whole thing!! well..mebbe when he’s supposed to be acting like a little kid..

also..THE INCREDIBLES SHOULD’VE BEEN NOMINATED FOR “BEST PICTURE”. this film was straight-up, along with “sideways”, the most pleasurable movie-going experience of the year. look at the story, the individual sequences, the voice work, the humor, the music, the costumes, the credits….the fact that you care for the characters so much. who would’ve thunk that the overall theme of the movie (love, family) would overshadow everything else? SHAME ON YOU IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN IT!! SHAME ON YOU!!

the saddest thing about it is disney has the rights to make an “incredibles 2”. WITHOUT BRAD BIRD. WITHOUT PIXAR. which means it’ll be something on par to like chris reeves’ “superman 3”..or the new star wars movies…i won’t be able to stand the disappointment.

and EFF “NEVERLAND”!! my wife said it ain’t no best pic nominee…

anyhoo…i’m on the mend and i hope to set up a signing in las vegas for sat. mar 19th. keep an eye out for it on the calendar.

cheers!!
