I would be remiss if I didn’t write a commentary on a film I’d seen that gained Oscar attention. So, amidst wrapping up a sexy story that’s making me really horny (which I’ve noted as another blog post for the future), staring at an empty suitcase that needs to be filled with items for a trip 1/2 on the other side of the world, and surveying what the contractors have done this week to my house, I finally saw the film, Crazy Heart.
For those that don’t remember, this film was nominated for an Oscar. Jeff Bridges won for his role as Bad Blake, the worn-out, alcoholic, relationship fuck-up, and C&W performer.
What can I say other than I fucking loved this film. It was perfect. The acting, which also starred, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Robert Duvall and Colin Farrell, the script, the length, the plot, the cinematography, and the music…all of is was sensational. And might I mention, I am by no means a C&W fan what-so-evah, but I might have to purchase the film as well as the CD soundtrack. It’s a keeper and I highly, highly recommend watching this winner.
Finally, I once again have goose pimples over my renewed hope and faith in the Academy Awards. I’m so pleased that the Academy supported, nominated and chose Jeff Bridges for his role. Thumbs up, guys. Nice job.

Oh, how I love that man. Apparently the book is great too. Can’t wait to see this, I don’t know why I’ve waited too long.
Hi Jo,
The film is truly perfection. I’m a hard one to please when it comes to film. You’re so going to love it and fall back in love with Jeff Bridges too. Enjoy!
Agreed all the way around. It is a fantastic move. I’m a long time fan of alt country and whiskey-perfect.
Madison,
Alt-country and whiskey-perfect. What a great way to put it. Thanks for that. Enjoy your weekend.
Went to school in the south. Great literary education. Better music education (see No Depression Magazine) and bourbon, sour mash, single malt…all part of the curriculum.
Madison,
Should I take it as a compliment that your great literary education keeps you coming (yes, pun intended) back to my blog?
Well…whiskey + alt-country + sun dresses + warm southern nights = ???
Madison,
Hey, whatever turns you on, is fine with me. Maybe I should write about it, eh? Thanks for commenting and the continued support. I’m honored that your literary knowledge finds you here. Thank you.
