Opening Statement
Now the the website is up and running, I've decided to take a cue from my friend Chris West (see link on the side) and write a regular blog. Expect random anecdotes, and strange thoughts. Don't be surprised to see some reviews of movies or entertainment as well. For now...
Good on Steve Carell for winning a Golden Globe for best actor in a comedy. Certainly after The 40 Year Old Virgin and Anchorman this guy deserves something (almost makes us forget about Bewitched). Even though he lost out to a great actor, glad to see Jason Lee get nominated as well for My Name is Earl. Lee should have gotten an Academy Award for Mallrats and/or Chasing Amy awhile ago. That's right...I said it.
I will also agree with Entertainment Weekly and their comment about the lack of recognizing comedies for best Motion Picture (or comedic roles for Best Actor/Actress). Jeff Daniels (who will probably be nominated for an Oscar) did once say that comedy is harder to pull off than drama.
