hello! yoshi > Michael Clayton

I felt the “quickie” or “aside” post I made about Sidney Pollack passing away was perhaps a bit too little. I really loved his stuff. He was also an actor, and did quite a bit of acting. I think that one of the best things I’ve seen him do, however, was the Cingular commercial that you saw while going to the movies, when they tell you “silence your cellphones”. (video after the bump)

Yes, we know he did the movies like “Out of Africa” and “Tootsie” (directed) but he also produced and starred in “Michael Clayton” as well as many other movies and shows you probably didn’t think he was in. Take a look at his IMDB profile and see for yourself. Sidney got around.

It’s just getting sad the people I grew up watching are passing away, like cybr said. It’s just crazy. It’s a great reminder that I’m just getting old. But I’m not even that old! I’ll be turning 40 this year, so this is my “Around 40″ time. Ironically, there’s a Japanese dorama called “Around 40″ but I won’t get into it just yet. Soon.

Did you watch the Oscars? I was and wasn’t surprised that No Country for Old Men did so well. I was certain that Michael Clayton was going to be the big winner this year, but I was quite wrong! I of course did not see ANY of the movies, so I wasn’t really rooting for any movie per se.

On a different note, I didn’t really care for Jon Stewart as the host. I think, honestly, that if he wasn’t on there, and there was no host, the Oscars would have been the same for me. It wouldn’t have lost any entertainment value. But, that’s just me. I don’t know why I don’t like Jon Stewart so much, I guess I’m one of those that don’t really find him very funny.

Is it just me?
