I wonder if Deadline will crack gay jokes at Bradley Cooper as almost everybody else does?

I should note that A SEPARATION, the Iranian movie which won the Foreign Picture Oscar, was celebrated at film festivals world-wide...except in Iran, where it's been effectively banished. A movie which questions the theocratical religious/political approach (or short, Iranian Santorum approach) to humanity...unacceptable to the Mullahs.

Not seen it, but my usual cinemaphile cohorts love it. So it can't be a total waste of time.

Fincher not at the Oscars? I love his movies and respect him, but he's a notorious sore loser.

DRIVE should've gotten more nods. Damn good picture.



I liked it. Little overlong and draggy here and there, but effective mystery/thriller entertainment.
