BIGELOW WINS THE BREAKUP! …Oh, And 2 Oscars
Take me to Oscar Predictions
James Cameron might have won the box office battle but Kathryn Bigelow certainly won the war. Bigelow made Oscar history tonight by being the first woman to ever win an Oscar for Best Directing. Not only did Bigelow cock slap ex Cameron with her history making win, but homegirl didn't even have time to get back to her seat before Tom Hanks did a driveby announcement of best picture. Seriously, that show was running a bit long but I didn't expect Tom to be so quick about it (just like a man.) Hosts Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin joked that the show was so long "Avatar now takes place in the past."
All in all, I think the Oscars really hit it on the nose this year. Yeah, it was corny and narcissistic, it's the Oscars! But the hosts hit some high notes, the skits were funny and the correct people won the correct awards. Here's to 2011 and hoping we have wonderful films this year! *shooting star*
BTDubs, that last paragraph, totally going to be my audition piece for Oscar TelePrompTer (my spell check corrected it to this, why the weird caps?) Writer School! 😉
One more thing before I go... what a difference a decade makes.
Jump to see how my predictions did. 10 1/2 out of 12, not too shabby if I don't say so myself!
LOST MUCHNESS: “Alice” Marks The Decline Of Burton, Takes Depp Down With Him
Last year I went to see My Bloody Valentine in 3D and I made a comment that I wished every movie would be in 3D. Well one year and one Avatar later and it looks like my wish might come true... and all I can do is blame myself. It really kills me to have to write this post, but after I saw Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland yesterday, I'm afraid it must be done. Tim Burton, one of my favorite directors, has noticeably hit a slump over the past few years, and with his latest work, it doesn't look like he's going in the right direction anytime soon.
The Alice reboot, which is actually a sequel, has been a highly anticipated film since it was announced. The clout around it grew and grew, and therefore, going into this movie I naturally had very low expectations, because, let's face it, when people expect good things from things and/or people they usually disappoint. The reviews have been lukewarm at best, most of them seemed rather let down by the film in general. Variety said of the pic,
But for all its clever design, beguiling creatures and witty actors, the picture feels far more conventional than it should; it's a Disney film illustrated by Burton, rather than a Burton film that happens to be released by Disney.Continue reading LOST MUCHNESS: “Alice” Marks The Decline Of Burton, Takes Depp Down With Him
OSCARS 2010: The Biggest Battle Of The Sexes EVER!!!
Take me to Oscar Predictions.
Each year the Oscars are a blood bath of designer gowns, divaness and reaction shots, and the Oscars 2010 are going to be the most epic bare knuckle fight EVER! For the first time, they don't have just 5 nominees, but 10! 10 movies! I had to watch 10 movies, including Avatar! I digress, we'll get to Avatar later. But yes, 10 films have been nominated for best picture. I'm still flabbergasted. And although the films themselves should be at the forefront of the race for Oscar gold, that's not even close to being the case.
The Oscars 2010 is shaping up to be the biggest battle of the sexes ever! Kathryn Bigelow, director of The Hurt Locker, and James Cameron, director of Avatar, previous 3 time Oscar winner for Titanic, are duking it out with the most nominations, 9 each. Their respective films represent exactly what the film industry is nowadays; a titanic director (pun intended) creates an epic work, loved the world over for technological advances but not story. Then we have a virtual unknown who makes waves out of ripples with her little film that could, which is pipelined with depth but had previously not been publicized well. However, that's not even the best of it, Bigelow and Cameron are exes. Yeah, they were married.

Never Mention A Woman’s Weight
Lee Daniels, director of Precious, put his foot in his mouth when accepting Best Film Honors at the NAACP Awards when he made a dumbass remark about the film's star, Gabourey Sidibe.
"No one in Hollywood told me they wanted to see a movie about a 350-pound black girl who had HIV," Daniels blurted out during his acceptance speech, before realizing that he'd possibly embarrassed his full-figured star. Trying to cover up his mistake, the director stuttered at Sidibe and the audience, "She's not 350 pounds. ... Gabby... But the book says. ... " The Oscar-nominated actress grew noticeably upset, shaking her head at the director's comment...I want to commend Gabby for being so gracious as to accept a dumbass' apology. Not only was she fantastic in the film but incredibly brave for putting herself out there as much as she did. She must have known that when the film opened she would be subject to scrutiny. Gabby put herself under a microscope not only to open the door for African American talent but also for full-figured female actors. Gabby has taken everything in stride, not to mention she's looked fabulous while doing so. Via DailyNews Below is a gallery of Gabby lookin' fly on the red carpet!
“THE RUNAWAYS” REVIEW: Men, You Can’t Stomach This Kind Of Gore
Check out the trailer for The Runaways starring Kristen Stewart & Dakota Fanning.
While you're in a video watching mood, check out baby Cherie Currie and baby Joan Jett performing "Cherry Bomb" in Japan circa 1977. Rock on ladies!
WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS, WAIT UNTIL FUCKING MARCH 19 AND PAY $12.50, OR A FEW BUCKS LESS IF YOU LIVE IN NOT NYC (WHICH I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'D BE READING THIS IF YOU DIDN'T, OR EVEN IF YOU DID FOR THAT MATTER.)
Nothing says chick flick like blood... menstrual blood that is. The Runaways opens with a single drop of Scorsese Red blood falling onto the pavement, as the camera moves up a mature Dakota Fanning's leg to reveal the source. Blood streams down her leg from under her mini skirt as she and her sister run to a nearby public restroom, exchange panties, and do the old pad made out of napkins song and dance. Ladies, you know what I'm talking about, men, I'm sorry I ruined the fantasy. Women bleed!

Via PostSecret Do You Remembah?! (EWF Reference)
Do you? Do you remember? It doesn't seem like so long ago that I made this (some say epic) failed attempt to reach out to the masses and bestow my anti-knowledge unto the world. Well, I'm back... again. Revamping the wearied Hypothetically Speaking... Blog, which, like one of my favorite TV shows, Freaks and Geeks was brutally snuffed out in it's freshman year, or in this case, entry.
And so, as the old saying goes, and as I go because I know a lot of old sayings, out with the old and in with the new. Welcome to Radioactive Cookies or RadCooks as it would now be abbreved. Don't you hate modern laziness?! Please don't try to discern anything from the title, it came to me in a dream, literally, and quite rightly summarizes what you will be reading here.
