Tonight we're going to see "Gods & Gays" at Cinequest. Buffy is bringing a friend. Spike screwed around today and knows he should be grounded from Cinequest for the night, but he also knows I want him to see the movie so he probably gets to go. Darn smart kids. I'm still glad "Crash" won the Oscar, no matter what the news says. Brokeback Mountain was a really good movie, and it was a very well made movie, and Ang Lee got an Oscar for directing it. But just because it is a "groundbreaking" movie, and just because it made us all cry and was a fantastic love story, that does not mean it was the best movie. And giving the Oscar to another film does not mean the US is against gay films (there are many other things that prove the US is against gays and gay films, but giving the oscar to Crash is not one of them). I honestly don't understand the backlash I keep reading about Crash, that it's an undeserving film. I've watched that movie over and over again and I still enjoy it. I'm not going to apologize for this, I think Crash deserved that Oscar absolutely. I still can't stop thinking about how great "Andrew Jenks, Room 335" was, and what an impossible shame it is that most people won't see it. He says they have spoken to HBO and some other options, but have not heard back yet. I am so disappointed that the kids didn't get to see it. I want a dvd so damn badly. I will just keep an eye on his website and blog, and hope that I soon see he has finally sold the movie or is selling dvds. Okay, let's let go the movie talk for a minute or so.
