Though maybe being invited would be more rewarding.

it was the worsted film of the year, Johnny Depp gets on my nerves and should stay on teenage girls walls where he belongs, plus he cant sing to save his life.
It's gratuitously stylized and boring garbage, I still feel betrayed that you liked it, past all your flawless reviews, artysfjhgdkbzvbj lvkbjflnxc ;lxm;

However, I was a bit miffed at the comments about Our Kate. While I won't argue about the fact that her Golden Globes acceptance speeches were indeed cringe-worthy, I thought your sweeping statement of "Everyone is secretly hoping Angelina Jolie wins the Oscar" was going a bit too far. I am hoping Kate wins it mostly for the fact that she should of won it a few years ago for Eternal Sunshine, so its about time The Academy corrected their mistake.
As for Angelina (One note)Jolie, well I seem to recall you saying some rather unflattering things about both her acting and her appearance in the past. But strangely you seem to have changed your opinion about her, after she said your hair was cool on The Culture Show. It would seem that flattery does indeed get you everywhere! : )
