It was uncanny.<BR/><BR/>And I was so confused about Ray Winstone in that movie... I'm not the most familiar with him and I IMDb'd him and was just... he's not that ripped or hot! What gives? Ah the magic of computer animation.<BR/><BR/>And I'm seriously this close to cancelling Heroes. And if TV shows could be hugged, Pushing Daisies would get one. I've never looked forward to a show so much on TV. :-DBenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08464878841487140417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-63317628180463659232007-11-14T13:26:00.000-05:002007-11-14T13:26:00.000-05:00What's the problem with "Beowulf"?What's the problem with "Beowulf"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-35776290449717538882007-11-14T12:49:00.000-05:002007-11-14T12:49:00.000-05:0010 Reasons I love “The Film Experience” 1.

Taking the foreign film Oscar race way more seriously than anyone else<BR/>2. The film bitch awards with all their obsessive categories.<BR/>3. 20:07<BR/>4. Care put into eye-catching, creative images such as the golden actors in the Little Gold Man series<BR/>5. Sharing the love with other bloggers via links, interviews, etc.<BR/>6. A better stable of guest bloggers than anywhere I can think of<BR/>7. Being up-front about actorly biases, and being able to joke about these biases<BR/>8. Hosting and participating in more blog-a-thons than perhaps any other single blogger.<BR/>9. Keeping your Oscar predictions human, unboring, and relatively resistant to lazy groupthink. <BR/>10.
