Aw

It's not like I LOVED John Hughes. But watching these clips reminds me of how iconic so many of his films were. And look at all the people who were in those movies. Wow.

We've all gotten older, haven't we?

Here's someone else I love. Ed Asner. Who can forget his turn as Lou Grant? I loved the "Chuckles the Clown" episode when Lou said after he died he just wanted to be out with garbage with "his hat on." Dude. Words to live by.

Molly Ringwald.

I've been thinking of dying my hair red and cutting thicker bangs in time for Dylan's wedding.

But now I'm having second thoughts.

Tina Tina Tina

I love her, too. But I don't like that dress, really. I'm not crazy about the one shoulder strap look.

And SJP does my mother need to tell you NOT TO CHEW YOUR GUM WITH YOUR MOUTH OPEN? ESPECIALLY AT THE OSCARS?

I want a pair of Robert Downing Jr.'s blue-tinted glasses. Yes, I do.

Yes I'm happy

I just spotted me some Robert Duvall. I love him, too. I kinda have a special place in my heart for him and Gene Hackman both. Like I put them in the same category. After my dad's last game at Rice Stadium when BYU broke Utah's heart, my girlfriend Becky called and said WHO IS YOUR DAD'S FREAKING SCRIPTWRITER? And also I THINK GENE HACKMAN SHOULD PLAY YOUR DAD!

I'd vote for Robert Duvall, though.

Who would you want to play YOU in a movie? Speak up, America. I want to know.

I still have more to say

Have you seen "The Blind Side"? Should I see it? You'd think I'd have been in the first in line because dude! It's about football!
But again I sort of got put off by the Kathy Lee Gifford thing. And then okay. I'll confess. I have had a bellyful of the whole southern Christian football vibe . . . and well. Well, well, well, well. I should stop.

But I'll go if you say I should.

Okay. That ad with Jimmy Fallon, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck was sweet.

Wow. Did Cameron Diaz just really screw up? Calling Steve Carrell "Jude" as in "Jude-oops-I-accidentally-slept-with-my-kids'-nanny Law"? Or was that planned?

Hmmm. I just saw that "Hangover" joke coming a mile away.

In addition to looking like Jodie Foster, Amanda Seyfried looks like Dakota Fanning. When she was twelve.

So far

I think Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin are actually . . . really funny. Like this is making me laugh in the way that Billy Crystal used to when he hosted the show.

I like that Jeff Bridges' wife looks like she's about his age. Don't you?

Yeah. Penelope Cruz looks beautiful. Red is such a great color.

I think Matt Damon should win the oscar because he sounds so South African, the way he says "distiny" instead of "destiny." Like I was totally convinced.

Oh. Wait a minute. I want Captain Von Trapp to win.

Captain Von Trapp

I love him.
