- Did anyone out there, after seeing Crash, say to him- or herself, "Gosh, that's a truly Great Movie which will stand the test of time!" Lookit: I really liked it -- but to award it Best Picture says more about how the Academy wanted to view itself than how posterity should regard the film. If it was a "challenging" movie, it was through gentle, comforting pokes -- not like A History of Violence, which really slapped viewers around with its take on the relationship between sex and violence and the pleasures we generally reap from the latter onscreen.
- If Tom Shales is right, we're not going to see Jon Stewart invited back. Should he be?
The floor is open.
