Oscars, Dreams And Free Money
Posted by Simple Dude | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 28-02-2011
Hey Simpletons. Ok, no free money. Sorry, just trying to be sure you clicked.
Can you half ass a Monday post after half assing your weekend post? Well I am. Technically I am not actually half assing my post, as I have a full complete post – it’s just on another blog. And I’m also a complete ass. Wait.. what?
Before I tell you where to find my real post today, I have a few thoughts on the Oscars to share:
Kirk Douglas was actually pretty funny for someone who died two years ago. Come on, it’s a joke.
What was up with Christian Bale’s beard? He was great in that movie and deserved to win – until I saw that beard. Is he playing the Gordon’s Fisherman in a movie right now??
Does Randy Newman have polaroids of someone really important in Hollywood banging a goat? He must. How else has his career singing shitty movie songs lasted so long?
I saw on a commercial during the Oscars that Dana Delaney is going to be on a new show.. I’ve had a thing for her for a heck of long time. Yeah, she’s old, but still looks pretty hot so… i’ll be watching!
Overall, it was kind of a snoozer. I’ll always watch the Oscars, because it’s such an event – plus what the hell else is on TV on Sunday nights? Especially in the age of DVRs. But this year was not memorable – other than Melissa Leo from The Fighter throwing out the f-bomb during her acceptance speech. She was great in that movie though, and absolutely deserved to win.
Now on to my complete post. I have pimped the website Studio30 Plus a handful of times. It’s a great website for bloggers who are at least 30 years old. I actually won their 2011 Boomerang Award for Newbie Blogger. If you’re not a member, and you’re at least 30 years old, be sure to go check it out.
Especially check it out today because I am featured in their magazine, which is why I am not writing a post here. The article is about a dream I had over the weekend, and my Lady Friend’s interpretation. Even you’re a young pup and not 30 years old I hope you go check it out – I could use some feedback!
Thanks kids!

I seriously thought Kirk Douglas was the best part of the Oscars. That… And the lady who dropped the F bomb. Awesome.
Sides from that… What a friggin' bore. Those Oscars needed to be accompanied by booze
But I'm sick so that was a no go. Lame lame lame. Happy Monday!

I never watch the Oscars, but I devour the next issue of USWeekly so I can criticize how all the celebs look.
Posted on: Feb/28/2011@4:37 pm
Ha ha….I did a write up on the Oscars on my blog, and I agree that Kirk Douglas was funniest last night! Overall, for most of what I managed to watched, it was quite boring.
Posted on: Feb/28/2011@4:40 pm
I don't watch the oscars because it's kind of boring, but I always watch the fasion shows about it though!
I can join that website in 1 and 1/2 years… Don't rush me! LOL

I didn't watch it. I don't really ever intend to watch it especially since they didn't really give any Star Wars movie and love at the Oscars. And since all 6 movies are in the top 25 of highest grossing movies of all time and yet got no Oscar love makes me hate them.
Posted on: Feb/28/2011@4:45 pm
The ocscars bore me a bit unless ricky gervais is hosting then you know something is going to go down
Posted on: Feb/28/2011@5:07 pm
I was waiting for a bird or six to fly out of the thatch on CBs face, wow and holy shit. The F bomb was best part of the night. And your dream and LFs interpetation thereof. Rock on!
My LF will wake up mad as hell at me and stay that way, even after I explain that I really have not shagged the entire US womens gymnastics team, reguardless of how real her dream was.
Posted on: Feb/28/2011@5:42 pm
See, now I'm going to go for my new years resolution to start an internet fued and say that I loved this years Oscars. The autotune portion had me laughing so hard I almost cried, and the kids singing the finale did have me crying, because I am a girl and do that kind of stuff.
The only thing I didn't like, because I NEVER like it is the winners who read their speech. Come on, you honestly can't remember the names of your closest friends and co-workers?
I will agree that Kirk Douglas was fantastic, I loved him macking on Anne Hathaway.

i found the whole thing to be a bore this year
Posted on: Feb/28/2011@6:21 pm
I didn't even watch it.
Posted on: Feb/28/2011@7:32 pm
Dude, I thought it said "Free Monkey". I'm so disappointed I could just shit.
Tease.
Posted on: Feb/28/2011@7:43 pm
Hahahaha awesome article. I've said it before, but I'll say it again…I like the Lady Friend.
Posted on: Feb/28/2011@8:14 pm
The Oscar's were a complete and utter snooze fest. So boring in fact that I found flipping to commercials more enjoyable. And to think I missed the most exciting part (the eff bomb drop) while I was channel surfing to stay awake…
Posted on: Feb/28/2011@8:22 pm
Ah, Dana Delaney. She's at the top of my list of five. There's just something about her, I've had a thing for her since China Beach.
And dammit, you tricked me with the free money thing.
Posted on: Feb/28/2011@8:24 pm
Dana Delaney — isn't that the chick who was in the movie Exit to Eden and played a dominatrix? LOL. Awesome.
Posted on: Feb/28/2011@8:54 pm
@Danger Boy – Yes China Beach! It left an impression on the young me!
@trishwish: Yes, that was her. All the more reason for my weird crush.

I kinda wish that I could get into watching the Oscars since it seems like everybody watches it, but as much as I like looking a sparkly, shiny things, I get bored.
Posted on: Feb/28/2011@9:49 pm
Love this and the other post. It's all about sharing. So thanks, I'm glad you did. Nice hoot.
Posted on: Feb/28/2011@10:07 pm
Wow, it seems like I'm the only dorko that actually enjoyed watching the awards show. It wasn't the best ever, but…. I just possibly couldn't fall asleep through it.
Posted on: Feb/28/2011@10:27 pm
I honestly can't be bothered with the oscars, its always the artsy fartsy movies that win. This was particularly disturbing when I worked in movie rentals. We had a promotion of if you didn't enjoy your movie, we would exchange it for free up to six times a year. About the only time we had to act on it was when the Oscar for best picture would be announced, and everyone would hate whichever movie had won it. (Never mind that that was the only reason most of them had even heard of said movie.)

Loved the dream post!! AND then last line!! That was great!!
KD was THE very best part of the stinking show last nite! I couldn't sit still long enough to watch much of it but I did sit still for him!!
Posted on: Feb/28/2011@10:34 pm
I never watch it – just catch up on the results after the fact….or via twitter in these social network times
Posted on: Feb/28/2011@11:50 pm
This post was greatly offensive to me. You tricked me to get me here in the first place, and then went all agist on me. Not cool. But seriously, what is with Christians beard?!?
Posted on: Feb/28/2011@11:59 pm
Hey Simple Dude, great post as always. I ran over to Studio30 Plus and read the post, awesome.
You used a phrase "IT WAS A VERY, VERY BAD DAY" kinda reminded me of Kiefer Sutherland, I realised something and I don't know why I do this but everytime I read your posting it is like Kiefer Sutherland is reading it to me via the telephone, you know like Phonebooth.
Maybe its just because I'm English and that is what I expect an American to soundlike.
Cheers Simple Dude

I could tell from the promos that I would rather dig my right eye out with a dildo that come from NANCY GRACE'S ASS than watch the Oscars!

I did enjoy Kirk Douglas' appearance since I had pronounced him dead a few years ago. It's one of the rare times when I'm okay with being wrong.

Why do you insist on using your blog as, primarily, a way of soliciting donkey porn?
It makes me feel dirty and used when I read it.

I missed the Oscars this year but i think I just got the most perfect recap EVER.
Posted on: Mar/1/2011@4:21 am
u said everything i was thinking except you missed the part about james franco being on xanex – you need to adjust your attena so we can be on the same frequency again
Posted on: Mar/1/2011@5:05 am
The Oscar's are kind of like white noise with dresses.
I loved Kirk, and I almost hoped he would pinch Ms. Leo right on the ass when she asked him to pinch her (Hey, you have to get while the getting is good if you are 100).
Anne Hathaway was so peppy, she made me squint a little. I think she and Franco got their scripts mixed up.

AMEN AMEN AMEN about Randy Newman. He needs to be banned to that special part of the musical industry reserved for elevator music and Kenny G.
Posted on: Mar/1/2011@5:06 pm
Fantasic. I came here expecting free money only to find out I was lied to. I really don't know why I bother with this blog sometimes
Posted on: Mar/2/2011@1:46 am
I wanted Winter's Bone and it's actress Jennifer Lawerance to win because it was the only movie I saw. Spoiler: there is no crossing paths of Jennifer Lawerance and any type of "bone."
Posted on: Mar/2/2011@3:42 am
Doing a lot of work on other blogs. Does that mean this one is going to shit? Just wondering, because shit sucks.
