I am about nine months behind on movies, but anyway: Complete list of 75th annual Academy Award nominations I am happy that Queen Latifah got a nod. She is a pretty cool lady. Otherwise, no real surprises here. Some folks have talked about the obvious abscence of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." It did get a screenwriting nomination but nothing else. But really, people, just because a movie makes a truck load of cash doesn't automatically mean that it is worthy of best picture. With the Academy Awards comes the annual Oscar (tm) party. Hmmmm. I think this year's annual bash at the neighbors' needs a theme. I propose "Casablanca." A great movie and a great theme to work from. Just a suggestion to Mark and Robert, our annual hosts.
A poem du jour, a missive or two and the thoughts rolling around my head.

Reading:The Best American Non Required Reading edited by Dave Eggers/ Chronicles, Vol. 1 by Bob Dylan/Lamb : The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore Watching:/Garden State Listening: Blues Brothers Complete [IMPORT]preface to Leaves of Grass:
"This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul; and your very flesh shall be a great poem, and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body."-- Walt Whitman.
