I don't think Aviator will sweep, though. Foxx has the actor cat all but locked up. That's one loss. And I'm hoping that many members of the Academy remember how horribly they f'd it up last year by giving the best director award to Peter Jackson when both Clint Eastwood and Sofia Coppola deserved it more. Maybe then they will give it to Eastwood this year for Million Dollar Baby as a sort of penance. There is an outside chance of that happening. I hope it does.

Save for one difference, Sky Captain was not roundly trounced. Many critics absolutely loved it. Tron was universally panned. There will be a rabid core of fans that will jump all over Sky Captain. I just won't be one of them.

Exactly! It's one of those scenes that you've got to see to believe. Funny as all hell.

Here are some quotes just for kicks...

Quote

The Pirate King: What's the age of consent around here?
Mabel: Eighteen.
The Pirate King: Good! I'm old enough.


For the next scene, Mabel is wearing a corset (helps explain the quote)...

Quote

Frederic: Oh I love you. I'll always love you, come what may.
Mabel: "Come what may"? We'll all be burning in our beds come what may.
Frederic: Well run. For God's sake run!
Mabel: Death before dishonor. Besides, have you tried running in one of these things? It's a real bitch.
