Oh, and I forgot to say that to biteme, who said he still had a bit of faith (presumably in the academy awards) since Coppola won for best original screenplay, but:
I lost my faith in them when they gave the best picture to a certain sentimental-as-hell, okay-but-not-that-great Forrest Gump instead of Pulp Fiction, so... I haven't had any more faith to lose the past 10 years. It's still nice when a picture or person I like wins one, though. Or 2. or 3. Or 11. #;-}>
Yeah well, the Academy Awards have always been geared more towards dramas than anything else. I don't always agree with the decisions, but on the other hand, I still like the Oscars because, as you said, it's nice when a picture or person you like wins one. It's nowhere near a perfect system, but it gets the job done.
By the way, while I'm here, I might as well mention how things are going for me in terms of NG stats. It's been a while, and I can't find anything else to post in, so I figured I'd catch up here. I'll just tackle the things I have on my list here one at a time. First of all, things are going great for me in the blam/protect point department. Oderus_Urungus is no longer a threat to me now. He's slowed down a lot lately. I mean, right now, he's at 15,257 blam/protects, but I'm at 15,385 of them. That's more than a hundred points ahead now, and you know what? I was actually at a friend's house all day just messing around on his electric guitar and drum set. Good times. Can't really play the guitar, but I'm pretty decent on the drums. Did I ever tell you that I actually played a band gig with three friends of mine at a house party on my 15th birthday? So many memories. They're thinking about getting together again for another gig sometime soon. Should be fun.
Also, congratulations on the whole Elite Guard Supreme Commander thing. I'd tell you to start going after fixit but I don't want to kill you, so I'll just wish you well and tell you that I'll be rooting for you when you pass DuMa_RyoHahn for the #5 spot. Good luck with that, dude. That way, you'll be in the same position with blam/protect points as I am with posts. We really have come a long way since we both hit 1337 posts that day. Except you've come much farther. You're a freakin' moderator now. And what am I? Just a has-been. Newgrounds works in mysterious ways, my friend. Oh, and just for the record, I saw Rushmore. Happy now?
