Most definitely! <BR/><BR/>And have you decided to post a pic of yourself? I for one would love to see who is behind the bug-eyed blog.

Only Tarantino could write a character like Drexl.<BR/><BR/>AK - howzabout Mira Sorvino in Mighty Aphrodite? What's she done since? <BR/><BR/>Avi - yeah I agree, I mentioned that role in the post as one of his great ones. It's the closest to Frank Miller's tough and very human Gordon that we've seen onscreen thus far.

When you consider Nicole Kidman in 'the Hours', Marisa Tomei in 'My Cousin Vinny', 'A Beautiful Mind', Tommy Lee Jones beating Ralph Fiennes in 'Schindlers List', Angelina even being nominated for 'Girl Interrupted', 'The Color Purple' winning nothing over 'Out of Africa' - I could go on and on about the insane decisions. We all could. The "Academy" in its infinite wisdom rarely awards outstanding achievements, mostly opting for utter mediocrity.
