just a quick note to pat myself on the back: longtime listeners know that i was a film buff before i ever became involved in alternative news - so, i've
always watched the oscars. now,
i said last week on the most recent episode & interview from media monarchy that 'the hurt locker' would upset the over-blown 'avatar' -
and now it has swept the oscars & i think that shows that you can have all the bells & whistles in the world,
but ultimately it has to be about the story. i was fortunate enough to see kathyrn bigelow as she presented her film here in portland early last summer & i repost that entry for you here ...
remember: media monarchy keeps you ahead of the curve!
and yes, i'm aware of the criticism:
hurt locker: part of a deplorable trend?
director kathryn bigelow in portland to discuss 'the hurt locker'
kathryn bigelow, director of point break & strange days, was in portland at the
hollywood theatre on monday night to discuss her amazingly powerful & disturbing new film,
the hurt locker.
as a benefit for
pow fest, the portland oregon women's film festival, ms. bigelow introduced her film to an enthusiastic crowd. after the film, the oregonian's kristi turnquist served as interviewer & moderator for questions from the audience which covered everything from the technical aspects of the film to a personal account from a woman whose husband is a gulf war veteran that couldn't bring himself to see this gritty & hard-hitting film.
