Globes

If anything, the Golden Globe nominations confirm what a damn dull year it's been for movies. Brokeback Mountain is great, as I said. As far as left-leaning poltical potboilers go, for my money Syriana is superior to The Constant Gardener, but I suppose the HFPA didn't want to slather too much prais on Clooney and Soderbergh. Then again, I think Syriana is better than Goodnight and Good Luck, as well.

Some of my friens have high hopes for The Producers, but I am skeptical. My remaining hopes for the year are pinned squarely on King Kong. Emory's seeing it tonight, so I'll see what he thinks before I catch it on Friday.
