Crash

Well is has been awhile since I have posted, but I have also been out of town a lot this past month which has been really nice. Nice to get away, see friends, and be in a place that is "normal" for awhile. So many people around here say that you do not realize how abnormal things still are around here until you go out of town, and it is true. From the fact that you can walk into a place and there not be a line, or the fact that trash in picked up and there are not blocks and blocks of neighborhoods which are just black at night because not a single light is on proves to me how abnormal things still are around here and will be for awhile. It has been really nice to get away though and have some breathing time.

So I have been really excited over this past movie awards season that I have seen Crash receive nominations and awards. I saw this film when it was first in the theatres almost a year ago and was blown away. I remeber leaving the theatre thinking that I needed to see it a billions more time, in order to catch everything that was in it because it gave you so much to think about. I also remeber being pessimistic and thinking that as amazing as it was, and as amazing a performance each actor gave, Hollywood would not acknowlege it because it was not a "big grosser" or "a normal award winner". But boy was I proved wrong to my joy as it won best picture and numerous other awards. And now that it is back in theatres again, I can see it again on the big screen. So if you are reading this and have not seen it GO SEE IT!! It is one of those movies that everyone needs to see, it moves you and really makes you look at yourself and out culture. SO GO SEE IT!!
