who had to blow who to get 'kung fu panda' in there? it just demeans this already pompous and over-blown affair.

i'm stoked for 'changeling' though. it's been totally off the radar, but eastwood is at the top of his game and the true-story plot is insane. angie's gonna have to stop adopting kids for a little while to accept her accolades.

Oh look, another movie about Che Guevara. I guess Motorcycle Diaries wasn't good enough? What is the fascination?
