Wow.  Haven't posted 'round these parts in nearly a year and yet I chose today to post.  Why, you ask?  Well it's Oscar day of course!  So I won't bother anyone on here, I'll be doing the usual predictions/commentary bullshit over at my movie blog.  So if you wish to join in on the fun and frivolity like years past, then mosey on over to ( Read more... )

Ok, I decided to start a movie only blog. Get in on the blogging phenomenon, it's hot! And it's the exact same thing as this...or myspace...except it's called a blog...makes sense right? Well, who am I to ignore what pop culture says is true and just? Either way, I thought I'd do you all a favor and since I only post about movies anyway that I ( Read more... )

I still feel disgusting from last night's lobotomized Oscar proceedings when that flaming pile of crap, "Crash" won best picture. However, my feelings of nausea have been somewhat assuaged by the fact that just about every person in America who knows anything about quality filmmaking seems to be on my side. Browsing the internet, I found a very ( Read more... )

Helllooooo and welcome! I've really been runnin' my mouth about this thing this year, whereas last year it was kind of spur of the moment. But it's fun to go back and read it b/c I made some witty quips about Louis Gossett Jr. and you can't go wrong with a few Gossett jabs. Hopefully, I'll be on point tonight, so just refresh if you're actually ( Read more... )

I had to wait until the waning moments in order to post predictions because a lot of momentum can change from the time the nominations are announced to when the winners are announced, especially since a lot of the precursors take place (like all the major guild awards). Anyway, overall, it's looking like a ( Read more... )

Exactly one week from right now, the Oscars will be in full swing. I am working 7-3 that day...why, you ask? Well, you see, last year I began doing a running commentary of the Oscars on here and I had a blast since the Oscars is basically my Super Bowl. Anyway, I wanted to do it again this year so I specifically made sure I wasn't working that ( Read more... )

I haven't updated this thing in months and I have nothing to say, so I thought to myself...why not do a survey?! Brilliant! Do not fret though, I'll be back with Oscar coverage, better than ever this year ( Read more... )

Ok ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for and not a minute too soon or a year too late. I've finally finished researching the crop of cinema that 2004 had to offer. I must be psychic or something because by inadvertently not keeping up with film, I managed to avoid spending a lot of money on what amounted to a dung heap of ( Read more... )

You'll all be happy to know that I have been steadily brushing up on my 2004 movie watching lately. Coming soon to a droogie81 journal entry near you: The Top Ten Films of 2004 List and some other news and notes from the mind of Mr. Hazen (I'm teaching now...if my students have to call me that, then so do you). So prepare thyselves ( Read more... )
