Kidman has fond memories of their time together. She says, "We all lived in this house in the Hamptons. Jennifer would cook breakfast on Sunday, and we'd all go to work Monday to Friday, and hang out on the weekend. Jack (Black) would play guitar. (And) we'd lie around in the bed, rehearsing. ...

There is a chance it has English subtitles as well as Hebrew. It used to be the norm for many years. Worth checking. Hopefully I'll see it next week, so I'll let you know.

You can catch '4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days' either in Ramat Gan (in the Ayalon mall) or in Tel Aviv (in the downstairs cinema in Dizingof Center) where 'Away from Her' is still being shown too (in the upstairs one).

Baruch Haba. It's nice to have another member of this board in my neck of the woods. So – how did you find us? I guess the verdict is positive, since you've decided to stay. Anyway – when you're finished with all the exciting stuff Israel has to offer, you're always welcome to stop by. Edited By Ur...

Merry Christmas to you all.

You're making fun of me for asserting it wouldn't be nominated for Best Picture when NO ONE on the board had seen it and there was no evidence to suggest it would be. I made my judgment call based on facts, everyone else on opinions. Ah, I foresee many generations of Logics scholars debating about ...

With all due respect, Uri, aren't you contradicting yourself a bit there? You say that Jennifer Hudson was persecuted for being the wrong winner, naive and accepting the lies of religion and culture; but then say that it's the responsibility of every person to question the dogma thrown at them. In ...

Ah, there in nothing more vain than being modest.

As for Jennifer Hudson's by now legendary (on this board) speech, I was with Aakash from the beginning. And on this I'm not so sure Uri is right by the way - "culturally, historically, politically"? All very true, and even understandable of course. But if we stop here, we can't criticize ...

Oh, that's lovely. I really like you Uri. Everytime I read your posts, I feel enlightened in some way. And I respect your political positions (especially your ability to criticize Israel and America's bias towards Israel) even more because you arrive at them with so much opportunity cost and inconv...

This was one of the points I tried to make earlier this year when I criticized Jennifer Hudson's speech -- and more to the point, the fact that one can't even openly criticize organized religion in this way -- as proof that America was deeply ensconced in religious hypocrisy. Even and especially fr...

Marco darling, you understand perfectly. Here's something I wrote a decade ago (and it was, even then, about "the Redgrave issue"). You agreed with it then, and since nothing has changed (well, it probably got worse), I'm sure you'd agree with it now. Do you remember Jane Fonda’s acceptan...

Magilla, as Penelope and dws pointed, announcing it was about more then one person, although by now it's a given, takes the fun out of it. And the last clue, as I said in advance, was not meant to be read the same way as the rest of them. And now, a quick La Ronde one: Which 1968 best picture nomin...

The funny, or rather sad thing is that while I wasn't swept off my feet by Russell, she's still better then most of this year contenders whose performances I saw – Cotilard, Adams, Jolie – and based on Knightly track record, I find it hard to believe she'll be better too. It's really all about Chri...

Since you've asked so nicely, here's another one, mostly Oscar oriented, I came up with today, especially for you. This director is the recipient of the AFI life achievement award. He won the best director Oscar twice, while the films he won for also won best picture. Was nominated once for editing...
