george clooney is an arrogant horse's ass
yes i watched them. i wasn't planning on it, but matt & sue were making dinner and i did not want to miss out on homemade crab-cheese wontons and sesame chicken. and believe you me, it was delicious.
so because i wanted to eat this awesome dinner i had to watch the academy awards and while there were many moments that made me physically ill (see "oscar pre-show" or whatever they call that drivel) i must say that jon stewart was funny. while i'm afraid jon stewart is on his way to become the next bill maher, he still puts out good material and last night is proof of that.
but george clooney came with the smugness to end all smugness. i want to kick my own ass for even having an emotional response to anything about hollywood patting itself on the back, but he was too much!
you want a "star" who's in check and has his shit together? see dave chappelle. i think he's the only sane person in hollywood. i'd set you up with the youtube link but i can't because it's blocked at work, so just go to youtube.com and search for "dave chappelle" and check out his interview with james lipton on "inside the actor's studio".

well that's what i thought about clooney for a long time, esp since he did a couple coen bros movies. but he was so damn smug last night! aaarghh!!
Chapelle on ITAS was absolutely riveting. And speaking about smug, Bill Maher is as smug as they come (except when Dennis Miller ate his lunch... that was hilarious). Jon Stewart was the best host I think I've ever seen on the Oscars... something I'll only watch if I'm a fan of the host, beacues the rest, really, is far too sycophantic for me to really enjoy...
But if they keep Stewart on, I'll come back.
BTW, I didn't know you relocated. I thought you just closed up shop. Good to see you're still around.
thanks dave. yes, bill maher is like the epitome of smug, and yes, the whole thing is too sycophantic for me, too.
but i suppose it's good to at least observe because it is (disappointingly) such a huge part of our popular culture, and i've begun to realise these last couple years that water-cooler knowledge is (again, disappointingly) strategically important in an office setting.
