hey there - thanks for posting on the site and listening to the show! :)

you're right of course StanleyRumm - Outlander just seems like the kind of film that would have Karl Urban in it!

+ While I agree with you about Titantic, Shakespeare in Love (I spit out my coffee when it won), A Beautiful Mind and Gladiator, Slumdog Millionaire is slightly better - mostly because of its astonishing photography - it's not absolutley wretched in all aspects like Shakespeare...

but I'm sorry to tell you its gonna win. :(

p.s. nice blog - i like the line "A tree is not made for the 18 - 25 year olds."

I may have heard you wrong, but imdb doesn't list Karl Urban in Outlander. Maybe he's uncredited (?)

Anyway, the point of my post... but first, congratulations on a great site and podcast, etc. I've only discovered it recently, but well done.

And now, my main point... Slumdog Millionaire is complete pap. I can't believe how much praise this derivative, cynical, characterless creation is getting. I go into more detail on my own non-blog http://www.stanleyrumm.com/?p=317 but suffice to say I'll have to agree to disagree with you and the rest of the world. One day you'll all wake up and see it for the tosh it is -just like the world now realises how mislead it was by films like Titanic, Shakespeare in Love, A Beautiful Mind and Gladiator winning Best Picture at the Oscars. Is there anyone alive who can argue these films deserved that credit?
And yet, they swept through on a kind of blind triumphant glorious swell at the time. Please don't let it happen again. I couldn't take it (cap'n)
