The best film to food parody goes to.....

My Mom is well known for having very kitschy parties, example: Las Vegas night in which her house in rural Virginia turns into a casino and everyone dresses like a Las Vegas tourist be it yokel or high roller… The most loved party is quickly approaching The Oscar party. She has a red carpet running down her hallway everyone dresses as if a movie star, we even honor each other with awards (one year while attending with a broken foot, my crutches got awarded for best supporting role, yuck yuck yuck) but the best part of the party…. Food parodies of nominated films.

I went last year and it was really cool. Went alone but still managed to enjoy it, especially since I had only seen one of the movies beforehand. Already bought 2 tickets to try and force some friends to go, maybe I’ll see some fellow Scrabbled folks there. 69693 false Best Picture Marathon

0 O.K. so I know I recommended this movie to John but don’t recall if he saw it yet or just didn’t like it.

Anyhow, this was one of my favorite movies from last year and is cool on multiple levels both in terms of the unattainable romance angle but also captured the sheer rush of having a musical project come together and the camaraderie of being in a band and collaborating, and also just getting a second chance at something when you’re past what’s perceived as your prime. Cynical as I am lately I figured I’d just post something positive for a change. But the guy and girl who star in the movie and wrote the music and are musicians in real life won the oscar for best song and their acceptance speech was pretty cool, and she got cut off and Jon Stewart was classy and brought her back out to finish it. http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2008/02/glen_hansardmar.html 67692 false Once
