Real Quick

I know a lot of people have already mentioned this in various places all over the web, but I had to throw in my two cents: what was Peter Jackson trying to prove at the Oscars? I mean, I was ALL for the Return of the King sweep. I didn't watch (in true nerd form, I planned on catching it all on the internet the next day), but I have seen pictures. While I consider Peter Jackson to be one of the more talented directors out there, and to have made one of the best series of movies I'll see in my lifetime, I don't consider him a man who should be dressing himself. Jackson looked like he just woke up from a three-day alcoholic binge after the love of his life married someone else. I could just envision him stumbling through a montage of neon lights telling him to drink and to gamble and to shave his grotesque beard. When your movie is favored to sweep the Oscars, meaning you'll have to go up on stage multiple times in front of beautiful people, the least you can do is use some Downy Wrinkle Remover on your tux. Unless we are to believe that the remake of King Kong is so time consuming that he doesn't get a chance to send his clothes to the dry cleaners, that was completely unacceptable. The Oscars are about seeing the beautiful people of the world. Otherwise, they'd be broadcast over the radio.
