Oscar Fever

Check out this snapshot of Norm Coleman that a citizen journalist captured on her cell phone:





Some would question our right to intrude on politicians’ private lives and to place them under media scrutiny 24/7, but if you ask me he should not have been wearing that shirt in the first place.

Do you ever stop to think about the way political humor has changed since Photoshop? I still don’t have Photoshop, so I almost never think about that. The bad thing is that I have to use Paint when I want to manipulate images, but the good thing is that I still understand the world's representation to be in fundamental harmony with the world's truth.

I’m thinking about asking for Photoshop for my birthday, though, as soon as I'm ready to turn wise beyond my years. Just like Benjamin Button. (A funny joke is to end every sentence, “just like Benjamin Button.” An example sentence: “That old man looks like a tiny baby!”)





Is it me or does this movie look so stupid? It should probably be nominated for the Oscar for Stupidest Looking Movie.

And this movie should be nominated for the Oscar for Greatest Title:




I think it's about a hotel for dogs.



Imagine how much this poster would have shaken your foundations, making you question whether cinema can ever truly be “radical” when forced at every level to compromise with the Hollywood system, if only I had Photoshop.
