I am at least as fair and accurate about her piece as she is about the Oscars......

You may think it is funny, and the writer clearly thinks she is funny- which can be a problem- but I didn't find it funny. I found it juvenile and superficial, and not insightful enough to be funny at all. This was one of the better Oscars for most people- I never watch them because I really don't care what anyone else thinks about movies, but for people who DO watch, this was one of the best, as I understand. It is problematic for me that you think your opinions are the "truth". It seems to be a systemic thing with you.. It is fine that you find it funny, but that doesn't make it absolutely funny. It only makes it relatively funny.

Well, it's all a matter of personal opinion, I guess. She didn't like the Oscars, and I didn't like her review. I didn't find her very clever or witty at all (well, maybe the occasional small truth- I did think they might have to burn Julia Roberts off Denzel like a tick) She must be very young-- the language was crude, the word choice intentionally rude and she has very little depth or breadth or kindness. She wrote for attention and to shock-- Look at me be oh so daringly provocative! I don't think real wit needs these crutches. But as X so often says, "that's just me". I do think she is a good writer, and that makes it sad that I found myself thinking that she fell back on cheap tricks in the same way she accused the academy of doing.
