Crash

No I'm not talking about the film that won the Oscar for Best Picture. Oh snap! I am most prophetic. JC:1 Lurker:0.

I'm talkin' about my Linux box. My computer froze up over the weekend...and I haven't been able to reboot since. Ouch. To think of all of the things I've lost:
  • Quake installation
  • Kernel tweaks to make Quake run better
  • 2GB of Quake maps
  • Quake configuration files
  • All of my Girls Gone Wild mpegs
Gettle's helpin' me though. He told me to run mkswap on all of my partitions. Thanks Gettle.

Plus, Skinny designed and implemented my backup and recovery system, so I'm sure I'll have no problems restoring my data.

  1. Also lost --- your self-esteem. But that has nothing to do with your computer, now does it?

  5. Crash is still garbage.
    Of course it won, everyone who votes in h-wood was in it.

    I can see the same themes and plot on TV. Turn on FX and watch "The Shield" or HBO's "The Wire". They are better written and more compeling. Why give an award to Crash when cable does a better job telling this story than the movies.

    This is in no way an endorsement of Brokeback Mountain. No, best picture should have went to the 40 Year Old Virgin.

    PSH should not have won for Capote. I hope no one ever goes to see this disaster of a movie. Give it to Steve Carell.

    Why all this <3 for 40YOV? The return of the "R" rated comedy. It wasn't gross-out, it wasn't vulgar, but it was sweet and funny.

  6. Why did Crash win? Because it was the best? Hardly:

    Production Budget: $6.5 million
    Lifetime Domestic Gross: $53 million
    Oscar Promotion Expenses: $4 million

    I'll still take the point.
