The Hoopla With All The Award Season

Like Most Of The Movies I Get Involved With, I Resisted As Long As Possible, I Really Try To Figure Out Why I Shouldn't Do It And This One Had Plenty Of Reasons "not To Do It".

"the Big Lebowski" Is A Real Masterpiece, As Far As I'm Concerned. I Suppose I'm A Bit Biased Because I'm In It.

I Had Years Of Partying, And I Was Kind Of Surprised And Happy I Survived It All. Now, Being A Parent, I Look Back On It Thinking, Oh God, The Things You Did!

I Love Seeing Somebody Act Real Earnest And Serious, Like Jackie Gleason. He Makes Me Laugh Because He Reflects Back To Me My Own Serious-mindedness And How Ridiculous It All Is. It's Always Easier To See Somebody Else In That Position Than Yourself, And You Laugh. It's Like The Classic Slipping On The Banana Peel, Or Someone Getting Hit By A Pie In The Face. Why Do Those Things Make Us Laugh? Is It From Relief, Like: Thank God It Wasn't Me? Or Is It Something Else: I'm Being Very Serious Now. I'm Pontificating Earnestly And Solemnly About-pow! Pie In The Face! The Bust-up Of Certainty.

I Was Loving Music, And Loving Art, Painting, So I Was Considering Those Things, But I Must Say I Dug Acting As Well.
