Harlan, being brilliant again. Side issue: Yever watch the Academy Awards with people who watch it every year but have never seen any of the movies and will never see any of the movies? Ive done this a few times, with different people. Im convinced that its most of the viewership, and its grim; they keep up a running dialogue about all the people who nobody has ever heard of, like, for instance, Ennio Morricone, Sidney Lumet, and any actor who was around more than twenty years ago. They know all the hot young things (but have never seen any of the movies) and keep up a running dialogue that shows no knowledge of the art but encyclopedic knowledge of the tabloid scandals.
