"Who
the hell wants to hear actors talk?"
- H. M. Warrner,
founder of Warner Brothers, in 1927
Ever since its
inception, the movie industry has
given
us an AWESOME
education in the classroom of life!
In EVERY CONCEIVABLE WAY and
in EVERY CONCEIVABLE
CATEGORY, we
the movie-watching public,
have
been IMMEASURABLY
INFLUENCED
by
the extremely multi-talented individuals who, through their combined
efforts,
make up what we've come to refer to as "SHOW BUSINESS.
"Case in point...how many of you guys out there can accurately quote
(or
know OTHERS that
can quote) famous lines from your favorite movies? Would you care to
try
and guess what THIS famous
quote is?
"Life
is a banquet and all of you poor suckers are starving to death"
I'll
give you a few moments..................... .........................
Okay!
time's up! have you GUESSED it
yet?! well just in case you haven't, the quote is from my favorite
movie
in the world, "AUNTIE MAME."
Oh how I just ADORE
this movie!!! In MY opinion,
it has EVERYTHING!!!
Superb acting, the ability to evoke the full spectrum of emotions and
of
course a marvelous story.
Every
year, Chris'
late Father George, used to do something
for
his own personal enjoyment that his family and friends looked forward
to
as well (and this is because he DID it
so well!) which he entitled, "GEORGE'S OSCARCAP."
This was George's
unique
and original way of paying homage to the Academy Awards
presentations.
Written
in the style of horseracing handicapper's lingo, his "OSCARCAP"
was truly a kick to read!
Naturally, the first step in this process is to go see all of the
movies
as well as all of the actors/actresses that are up for
nominations.
Once THAT
had
been done, he was then ready to start typing up his "form"
utilizing his trusty computer and printer. In addition to
handicapping
all of the information in the proper categories, George
ALSO brought to his "OSCARCAP"
endeavor his own special brand of insightful humor, by way of his razor
sharp wit. It's
really difficult to say who ended up having the most fun ---- George
when
he was CREATING it
or US as
we were READING
it! Oh and by
the way...his
favorite movie of all time was, "THE
WIZARD OF OZ."
