Why not? Whaddaya think?
I think it’s interesting that “Millions” didn’t even register on critics’ lists across the country, except with this motley crew.
Well, I am glad to see “A History of Violence” and “Millions” get so much appreciation, but those two took more than half of the awards. Strange. Surely “Nobody Knows” could at least have claimed its little spot for Ensemble Cast.
Oh well, that’s what you get for abstaining I guess. We should start offering a seperate voting scheme for the Euro-contingent.
Not just the President. Most of the press looked physically ill. Pretty sad when a comedian does their job better than they can.
When you sling this at the press:
“Over the last 5 years you [press] people were so good. Over tax cuts, WMD intelligence, the effect of global warming. We Americans didn’t want to know and you had the courtesy not to tell us. Those were good times, as far as we knew. But listen let’s review the rules, here’s how it works. The president makes decisions, he’s the decider, the press secretary announces those decisions, and you people of the press type those decisions down. Make, announce, type. Just put it through a spell check and GO HOME. Get to know your family again, make love to your wife! Write that novel you got kicking around in your head; you know the one about the intrepid Washington reporter with the courage to stand up to the administration. You know, fiction!”
Ouch.
