2013 Oscars - Habsy Memorial Thread.

I didn't even know she was from West Virginia.

She was born in Texas but grew up in WV.  Now she does return to WV occasionally and her parents may still live there, but I still don't get why people are so amazed.  Law of averages says that occasionally even a West Virginian is going to gain notoriety for something.

It's funny how the local media is making such a huge deal about Jennifer Lawrence.  Like she gives a shit about Louisville any more now that she's made it big in Hollywood.   My understanding is that they did the same thing with Tom Cruise, so you'd think they would have learned their lesson already.

You can be proud about producing HOTT blondes.

Argo 

It was pretty dull.

Louisville also produced Diane Sawyer.

btw, my office is about a mile from a big park named after her dad E.P. Sawyer.

Well, he was buried in TV productions for a lot of his career. Actually, he said he's been quoted in an interview that even the nominations gave him a lot of satisfaction, because a producer once said about him he's at best useful as quirky character for made for TV movies.

Some actors need just the right director to come out of their shells.

Argo 

It was pretty dull.

The real events were better than the script for this movie.

That's what I thought after seeing it.

Yeah, it's funny like that;  Linda Hamilton went to my junior high and high schools, and I was going there when Terminator first came out;  newspapers and the schools had signage all over the place, and you know damned well that woman forgot about that place the moment she got the fuck out of town and never looked back.

What's that have to do with a town claiming a famous person?

The first role I recall seeing him in was a TV movie (based on a true story):

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111349/plotsummary?ref_=tt_ov_pl

This movie depicts the story of Erwin Makolajczyk, a psychopath who killed 9 people in a courtroom on the 9th of March 1994. All of his life Erwin was a loner with a special liking for weapons. Finally he meets the older Lena to live with - but when she finds his weapons by chance one day, he beats her up. For this he's sentenced to pay her smart money - and Erwin cracks up...

The real guy shot a few people in the court room and then blew himself up with a bomb. Waltz brings an eerie banality to this rather pathetic person moving between pitiful ineptness and cold psycho.

Because "newspapers and the schools" were claiming such, you nasty little bitch?

My point was that a hometown feeling excited about having had a star live there is pretty independent of whether or not the star gives a crap.  You were the one's getting huffy that the local media was excited.
