Oscars

- Could "There Will Be Blood" be the best movie ever, or at least for my generation? I think maybe. Ranked against my top 3:

1) Godfather or (II), both epics, Daniel Day Lewis' performance was on par with Michael Corleone in II, more creative risks in the TWBB than either of the two in terms of adapting a screenplay, both movies perfectly shot, Godfather has more cultish appeal. Verdict: TWBB for being riskier

2) Departed. Nearly perfect movie. Only problem is it was adapted part and parcel from that Hong Kong movie (cop something?). TWBB gets edge since it was original to say the least.

3) Shawshank. Hmm. Totally different movies. Shawshank definitely feels better at the end. Although again, it was adapted almost wholly from Steven Kings book. Low on the creative risk scale. And although Red might be the best supporting actor in history, DDL was on screen for 2 hours straight.

Other thoughts

-Gene Simmons is a douchebag. Seriously. At least Flav knows he is an entertainer.
-Check out Terrell Pryor face fucking some poor white kid while dunking. Snap.
-I will no longer watch Celebrity Rehab Jeff Conway-less. If I had the money, I would be calling him right now to produce "Life with Jeff", where he would be put in a large house with lots of drugs, and then intermittently other people would take his drugs from him and then just generally fuck with him (loud music, knocking him of his wheelchair, flicking his ear, gf would blow me in front of him), that type of thing.
