Earlier today, PClem trashed Million Dollar Baby. But I'm not gonna trash Ray. Jaimee, Jennie, and I rented it tonight and really enjoyed watching it.

I probably wouldn't give it the Oscar, though. This is a sentimental goddamn movie, and I'm just not sappy enough to go along. And I probably wouldn't give Jamie Foxx the Best Actor, either, though he does a great job as Ray -- and having not seen any of the other actors nominated, maybe he gets it after all. Can't Jim Carrey have it? Eternal Sunshine, son.

As far as I can tell, this is just a really weak year for movies. I guess I'll just pretend The Incredibles sweeps all categories, even the ones it isn't nominated for, and leave it at that.

PS: Second this guy's advice. When you rent the movie, don't try to watch the DVD's "Extended Edition" -- the cut is jumpy, terrible, and the transitions makes no sense. Watch the theatrical cut and the deleted scenes separate.
