Marlon Brando's Oscar® win for " The Godfather"

watch it here.

shame youtube won't let me embed it, but check it out. i think this is pretty interesting and still! very much pertains to today (and just not in this aspect of portrayals and any kind of injustice)...

i'm real sad to hear those boos at 1:45, but then people still applauded for it. i have no words. it takes, ahem (excuse my language), balls! to do shit like this. always. especially on television. (i really don't like using words like that. but i just had to.)

in other news... i tonight i just saw clint eastwood's changeling and it was the BOMB. very powerful. the story's tone is in the vein of million dollar baby but is more optimistic. i heard gran torino is pretty good too. mrmrm. gotta see it... and coraline too! and then there's movies that i wanna see, wendy and lucy and waltz with bahshir, but i don't want to go watch all alone. i would like to, but it would feel weird. and hooray for pixar for winning an oscar for wall-e. it makes for a good resume. ahh. so many movies i wanna see, and i have possibly no time (but i waste it anyway). :<

ps.
what is tumblr? is it a short-hand kind of blog? whenever i visit random tumblrs i get soooo confused, since much of the content is quoted from someone else's tumblr, who quoted it from someone else's tumblr who might have quoted it from someone else. sometimes i get so lost with posts with pictures that have no captions or links. i feel rather old and i'm not even twenty-one yet.
