CRASH-ing The Oscars

"The Oscars this year were like the movie HIGH TENSION - pretty good until the twist ending that makes all that came before turn to shit." -- Vern

Vern said it best. I don't have any original thoughts on Crash upsetting Brokeback Mountain, other than it may be the first time that my WORST FILM OF THE YEAR went on to win the BEST PICTURE Oscar. Take THAT She Hate Me!

Stephen King was spooked by the decision.

Matt Zoller Seitz says, "about what I expected."
Roger Ebert is elated.
Kenneth Turan is pissed.
And, the NEW YORK TIMES tries to be all diplomatic about it.

The people demand more Jason Jackowski!

What did he think of V FOR VENDETTA?

Has he watched DEATHBED yet? Shouldn't he be spreading the word of SNAKES ON A PLANE?

What does he see for the coming year in film? Can it match 2005's achievements of sober quality? Is the coming summer of sequels and revivals going to be another disappointment, or will X-3, PIRATES 2, and SUPERMAN rise above?

Sing, Jason, of your prophesy! Sing, Jason, of your analysis! Sing, Jason, of your humor! Sing, Jason, of your rage!
