Awards Season Re-Cap & Brush-Off

You bet your ass I've better things on which to waste what little money, energy & interest I have & what little time remains to me on attendance & consumption at the mainstream cinema, so I've no idea what's been playing since, oh ... 1987, maybe. As far as this yr.'s load of nominations, Oscar®™© Night has always seemed like a good time for spring cleaning.

Also: Who gives a fucking shit? (Not Americans.)

    Ah, Bob Hope.

    I saw him once. (That was actually a pretty good show. Benny Goodman was there too.)

    Grandma took me. Thanks Nana.

    A Bob Hope joke from forty-five fricken years ago (as best as I can remember):

    Pointing to the Goodman quintet, "These guys must be really poor. Before the show I saw them sharing the same cigarette."

    I think I was the only one in the whole place that laughed.
