Bryan is working for the Olympics in Salt Lake City and keeping track of his experiences. Go and read. Very very funny stories… Also, Josh is working at the Olympics, too, as a journalist for the Dallas Morning News. He’s also writing about his experiences in his weblog.

Waking Life Snubbed
I agree with Roger Ebert, who says Richard Linklater’s Waking Life was unfairly overlooked in the Best Animated Feature category in this year’s Oscar nominations. His theory is that Hollywood and its huge CGI industry didn’t like an indie film director’s use of off-the-shelf Macintosh computers and home-brewed animation software to challenge their supremacy.
What do you think of this year’s nominations overall?
Golden Globe Winner
In honour of Gene Hackman, I’m off to see The Royal Tenenbaums again tonight!
Oscar Nomination Oddities
Looking over the list of Oscar nominees, I’m very disappointed that Gene Hackman was overlooked. Usually winning the Golden Globe award pretty much assures a nomination for the Oscar, and in his case it was sorely deserved. I didn’t see Training Day, but really, two nominations for acting in a film that didn’t get any other notice seems odd.
Gene Simmons On NPR
Ooh, ooh! Dean has posted a link to an MP3 file of the infamous Gene Simmons interview on NPR’s Fresh Air program from last week. I originally read about this on Josh‘s site, but I gotta have the audio. And so do you! (Also, enter his Textism contest, I dare you.)
