It took me like… an entire year to stop being sad. And even then…
I had heard it was depressing and I was expecting that ending, but still…

I’ve seen some posts around Tumblr as well as some comments from people in person discrediting Woody Allen because of his personal life. Saying Woody Allen’s personal life isn’t “spotty” is like calling The Artist a talkie, but his (consensual) personal affairs should not have a part in the judgement of his films, which is sadly a principle that most people...
I have no regard for that kind of ceremony. I just don’t think they know what...

Thoughts on the Oscars
I’ll go through my thoughts in chronological order:
I do not find Billy Crystal entertaining.
I really would have liked Harry Potter to take home Make-Up. The Iron Lady’s make-up really did not seem impressive, and thinking about how many times throughout the course of the franchise the actors sat through hours of goblin-face sculpting just makes me feel like HP was so much more...

In case anyone was wondering, which you most likely weren’t, my e-mail thread to Daniel Handler went something like this (it was very long ago, so the words are not exact):
Dear Lemony Snicket,

Sincerely,
Jamie
