...little movie that could...

If you didn't see ONCE then you were like the majority of movie goers in America this year. The only reason I originally saw it was that it was featured on a NYC to LA flight that I took around Thanksgiving. It was shot in 17 days, for $100,000 on basically two handy-cams.

It is a charming movie, and a touching story about two musical souls that find each other.

I had no idea that it was up for best song, and with all the nominees last night from the Disney spectacle ENCHANTED I doubted it would win... but it carried the night, and the two musicians with the funny names gave two of the most gratifying thank you speeches in Oscar history...

Absolutely AWESOME!

Best moment....
...was the winner in documentary, "Freeheld."

It's the story of bigots and homophobes in Ocean county, NJ and their failed attempt to keep a dying police officer from giving her hard-earned pension to whomever she darn well pleased.

Fortunately, the county government lost, but only after a national outcry.

Man Pet...
How angry are you?

Since when?
Since when is anger such a bad thing?

I seem to recall that anger has motivated some terrific change: the American Revolution (anger at the British), the civil rights movement (anger at discrimination).

Anger, well directed and focused, gets people moving.

Complacency is the problem, not anger.

Baaaah
Bigot = Christian

Homophobe = The other 92%

Goat...
... thanks for the link. It looks like an incredible story.

Where was our so-called "Liberal" media on that one? I never heard a word about it.

I should be able to leave my pension to my dog if I so choose.

PS: Paddy, this Christian ain't no bigot! Speak for yourself.
