Pic of the Day: “Eggsnake’s our longest friend and fanciest. Meltedy spoon’s the best to eat with because he’s more blobbier. Labyrinth is the twistiest and she hides things so I don’t know where they are. Toilet’s the best at disappearing poo. Lamp’s the brightest, except when the power’s cut. You’re the best at reading and songs and lots, except if you’re having a gone day. I’m the best at drawing, and jumping, and growing, and nearly everything!
The Oscar Quest: Reconsidered (Best Supporting Actress, 1991-1992)
The Oscar Quest began in May of 2010. I finished about fifteen months later, and wrote it up for this site. That was essentially the first thing I did on here. Five years have passed since then. I’ve grown as a person. My tastes have changed, matured (or gotten more immature, in some cases). So it feels fitting, on the five year anniversary of the site and of the Oscar Quest, to revisit it.
I want to see just how my opinions about things have changed over the past five years. I didn’t do any particular work or catch-up for this. I didn’t go back and watch all the movies again. Some I went back to see naturally, others I haven’t watched in five years. I really just want to go back and rewrite the whole thing as a more mature person, less concerned with making points about certain categories and films than with just analyzing the whole thing as objectively as I can to give people who are interested as much information as possible.
This is the more mature version of the Oscar Quest. Updated, more in-depth, as objective as possible, less hostile. You can still read the old articles, but know that those are of a certain time, and these represent the present. Read the rest of this page »

Pic of the Day: “Just get up off the ground, that’s all I ask. Get up there with that lady that’s up on top of this Capitol dome, that lady that stands for liberty. Take a look at this country through her eyes if you really want to see something. And you won’t just see scenery; you’ll see the whole parade of what Man’s carved out for himself, after centuries of fighting. Fighting for something better than just jungle law, fighting so’s he can stand on his own two feet, free and decent, like he was created, no matter what his race, color, or creed. That’s what you’d see. There’s no place out there for graft, or greed, or lies, or compromise with human liberties. And, uh, if that’s what the grownups have done with this world that was given to them, then we’d better get those boys’ camps started fast and see what the kids can do. And it’s not too late, because this country is bigger than the Taylors, or you, or me, or anything else. Great principles don’t get lost once they come to light. They’re right here; you just have to see them again!”

Pic of the Day: “You know why I’ve started to fix the place? I didn’t want to say anything until I knew I could make it livable. For us. Do you understand what I’m saying, Cary?” “Yes.” “I’m asking you to marry me. I love you, Cary.” “I…I just hadn’t thought about marriage.” “Why do you think I’ve been seeing you?” I didn’t think. Can’t you see it’s impossible?” “No. This is the only thing that matters.”
