Harvey Weinstein Owes Me $12

F Harvey Weinstein. That bastard somehow guilt tripped the Academy into a nomination for The Reader. So...in a misguided attempt to see the five nominated movies I saw The Reader this past Friday. Awful. This movie could be made by a film student with a budget and Kate Winslet.

I suppose the Oscars have always been a marketing ploy...but do these people realize there are at least good movies out there worthy of being seen? I recently watched Doubt and I know it's such a cliche to say Meryl Streep is good, but she outdoes herself in this movie and compared with Kate Winslet in the Reader - I mean, it's not even a contest.

Anyhow, the Oscars are such a bore. The only thing that make 'em interesting is betting.
