Only This Guy Could Make a Movie Like 'Slumdog'
Congrats to Danny and the rest of the Slumdog crew. I'll have more reaction later today. Loved Penelope winning, Dustin Lance Black's speech, Ledger's family and the production of the show was rather impressive. Overall a good night. More later.
What was once before you - an exciting, mysterious future - is now behind you. Lived; understood; disappointing. You realize you are not special. You have struggled into existence, and are now slipping silently out of it. This is everyones experience. Every single one. The specifics hardly matter. Everyone is everyone. So you are Adele, Hazel, Claire, Olive. You are Ellen. All her meager sadnesses are yours; all her loneliness; the gray, straw-like hair; her red raw hands. Its yours. It is time for you to understand this.
