doug jones...some more
Loyal blog readers will remember my gushing over Doug Jones a couple of years ago. He's a fantastically talented actor I met about three years ago. You can read that blog entry by clicking here.
Recently, a new film came out called Pan's Labrynth. It is adorned with critical aclaim, and has created a huge buzz. Awesome! You can go to the official Pan's Labrynth web site and check it out. Click on the "behind the scenes" gallery in the upper right. Doug plays the title character, "Pan"! He does a commentary about his physical transformation into his character.
Even though I, sadly, haven't talked to Doug in a long time, I'm proud of him. I can't wait to support him and watch this latest Doug Jones extravaganza. I've loved Doug, and I want other people to love him, too! I can't wait to see this exciting and imaginative film. Congrats, Doug.

oscar
Well, the latest Oscar nominees have been announced. This is always one of my favorite pop culture events of the year. No big surprises this time around.
I was happy to see Pan's Labrynth nominated for a few awards. My old pal Doug Jones is featured in that one. Rock on, Doug.
My favorite nominated film is The Departed. On the negative side: What about Jack Nicholson for best supporting actor? He was really good. I guess we're taking him for granted now. On the positive: Amazing script, great direction (Marty's got it in the bag), and Mark Wahlberg is certainly deserving. The rest of the cast is great, too. It's very suspenseful, upbeat, action packed. One of my favs of the whole year. Good job, Academy.
I have my work cut out for me, too. This time every year, after the nominations are announced, I get to work trying to catch up on the nominated films I missed. I can't wait to see Little Miss Sunshine, Pan's Labrynth, Monster House, and Blood Diamond. One film that caught me a little off guard this year is Babel. I guess there's been hype around it, I just haven't been paying attention. I guess I'll see that one, too.
Check out the entire list of nominees here at the offical Oscar web site.
Want to catch up on Oscar nominated films, too? Netflix is the best way to do it.
