    Oscar-baiting where others can watch leads to no good.


    Just ask George Michael. Or Paul Reubens.

    My family and I will be waiting in the parking lot, breaking into the cars of families going to see movies on Christmas Day, and then, on the day after Christmas, taking our haul to the local pawn shop and getting our drug money for the next year.

    Mmmm holiday movie time! I still like seeing the absolute biggest movie in the theater around the holidays, sprinkling peanut M&Ms on movie popcorn for cineplex trail mix, and letting my hopes for the movie float like so many fountain Diet Coke bubbles.


    (I was wondering if I'm an emotional eater. Oh, yeah, maybe I think.)

    Is Australia anything like this in terms of content? If so, count me in.

    My dad and brother have never let us forget the Memoirs of a Geisha mishap of 2005. At least we had something to talk about over Chinese food that year, though.
