Passion = Truth? How Jeffrey James Francis Ircink Sees The World? I love when people are passionate about something. That surging of emotion is the one honest measure of what truth is. It's a truthful display of how a person really feels about something or someone at that particular moment. That passion IS truth.

Julie Christie Loses Oscar to Frenchy

Marion Cotillard stole the Oscar from Julie Christie. What? That's bullshit. Marion played Edith Piaff in La Vie en rose. Christie played a woman with Alzheimer's in Away From Her.

It's the only category I was passionate about. The French suck.

Couple other notes:

I'm intrigued by the movie, Juno, now after watching Ellen Page on The Barbara Walters Special following the Oscars. In particular, the quirky song from the flick, Anyone Else But You, by the Moldy Peaches. Barbara Walters told Page that "she didn't get it" (the song and the group performing it). Walters - retire. You're an idiot. Here's a clip: http://youtube.com/watch?v=BFff-FekFWU

I will also see Once based on the recommendation of my friend, Nick, and because it's set in Ireland and I liked the Oscar-winning song, Falling Slowly. Here's a clip: http://youtube.com/watch?v=XzQRuTwaFI8

The musicians are also the leads in the movie, a modern-day musical about a busker (to play music or perform entertainment in a public place, usually while soliciting money) and an immigrant and their eventful week in Dublin, as they write, rehearse and record songs that tell their love story.

I mentioned I'm pissed Julie Christie lost, right? I am pissed.

Oh - and it was exciting to see clips from the soon-to-be-released Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the 4th installment series (on The Barbara idiot Walters' special).
