    And now it's just shorthand for 'total red carpet disaster'...

    But the Icelandic phrase for 'total red carpet disaster' also means 'total red carpet opportunity'.

    But I'm deriving great amusement from watching people get all hot and bothered about it, like it actually means something and that some great injustice has been perpetrated in the choice of 2010 winners.

    Amazing how quickly people forget that Ghost was once nominated for best picture. Or that Braveheart and The Return of the King won the award.

    Then on the B-side of the hill I'd put THANK YOU.

    Deborah joins the fray. Fly, you fools made me giggle.

    My preferred sign doesn't fit on the side of the hill according to the character limitation of the generator. It reads

    YO, SIR PETER JACKSON, YOU KNOB, I DON'T CARE HOW MANY OSCARS YOU WON, DRIVING YOUR BLACK MERC AROUND TOWN WITH BIG OLD HEADPHONES ON IS DANGEROUS SO WOULD YOU KINDLY STOP DOING IT?

  • OnPoint: Property Investment Federation:…,

    Also find myself wondering how defending the rentier welfare state is "for the many, not the few" -- unless Mallard is after the Labour nomination for Epsom.

    Word - the most depressing part of this is seeing Labour side with the property investors. Way to go, Trev.

    The other comment I've seen is that it's quite telling that the first time a woman wins Best Director, it's for a film that is not only seen as a men's topic (however inaccurate that is) but is almost exclusively about men and male experiences.

    Yeah, I would have preferred Deepa Mehta too. But it goes back I think to how difficult it is for women to direct at all, especially in the United States. You can count the female directors of non independent feature films on the fingers of what - one hand?

    Yes. Although unlike Herr Fuhrer I don't mind the new terminal personally.

  • Hard News: Still crazy after all these years,

    Yeah, sorry, but your line of attack against the reporters is just vile. And it's not as if the point hasn't been made on this thread that the actions of the Herald might well constitute entrapment, and that Kurariki is a victim in this rather appalling incident too.

    I still think the indignation about Avatar is a bit ritualised.

    One could say the same of the praise, provided one was into dismissing opposing arguments out of hand like that. Personally I found the film quite awful and I like to think I had valid reasons and was honest in my assessment.

    I got there first though I think you'll find :-)
