So?

I learned a few of things just now. 1) Edward Furlong is not long-dead like I thought (I must've been thinking of Brad Renfro). 2) Edward Furlong was married to some poor-man's K-Stew by the name of Rachael Bella. 3) It's too late for me to wish them long life and happiness together because they've filed for divorce. Well that's too bad, I guess. Er. I don't know.

Everyone's Mad Brad Renfro Got Left Out Of The Dead People Clips Package

Brad Renfro's omission from last night's Oscar "In Memoriam" segment has touched off something of a flap. The official explanation from the Academy as to why Renfro was left out of the package was something along the lines of, "We're the Academy, we can do whatever we want, so fuck you and your family too."

I personally didn't notice Brad had been left out. And frankly, I don't know why anyone would give a shit, outside of members of Brad's family. It's not like he was a big movie star or someone who had a major impact on the history of film. If they'd left out Ingmar Bergman, now that would've been bullshit.

If you want to get mad at the Oscars over something, get mad at them for the way they treated Marketa Irglova, who won the Best Song Oscar along with her writing/performing partner Glen Hansard for "Falling Slowly." Glen got to thank everyone on earth, then when Marketa came to the mic, the orchestra cut her off. Thankfully, Colin Farrell raised hell about it backstage, and the producers let Marketa come back out and say her touching little bit about struggling songwriters. Yay Colin. Boo Oscars.
