Even if he doesn't do a match, I imagine him being somehow involved at 'Mania.
There's always the Special Guest Referee approach, which allows for (read: inevitably leads to) some action.
Or a tag team can always help a newbie. I'd pair Rourke up with The Rock -- does he ever make any comebacks? -- or Dennis Rodman, just to up the weirdness factor.

The Rock hasn't wrestled in five years, but Van Damme needs to keep the
JCVD momentum going -- with him and Rodman they could have a
Double Team cast reunion. [-o<

Be careful buying that
scalped pair of $350000 Oscar tickets. You still may not get in.

Man, who would pay anything to get into this year's Oscars?

True. I doubt even Sally Kirkland is going to bother showing up this year.

Why, even Edy Williams won't show her tits for THIS year's Oscars!
(Ah, c'mon, somebody had to make that joke....)

All that article tells me is that Vince SAID he likes it.

I was going by what Dave Meltzer wrote in his latest issues of his publication the
Wrestling Observer Newsletter:
Several reported Vince was furious seeing how wrestling was portrayed, but obviously the publicity and business changed his view. Darren Aronofsky was on NPR, and said, “Vince saw the film and he called both me and Mickey and he was really touched by it. This really only happened a week ago...He really thought the film was special.” No surprise that he saw it before anyone, but only when the film garnered the strong mainstream buzz over an Oscar nomination, then he decided to call and hurriedly put together a deal.

this? Possibly the best spoof song ever written about The Shining. And a lock for Best Original Song. In any year.
Cornish's theme for
Quantum of Solace is much more deserving.

Danny Boyle won the DGA. Surprise, surprise...it's hard to care anymore.
I did like this bit though:
AP wrote:Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert was honored with an honorary life membership in the guild.
Michael Apted, the guild's president, noted that Ebert no longer can speak because of complications from thyroid cancer, but he told Ebert, "We're happy that it didn't stop you from writing about our work."
The ceremony featured recorded testimonials to Ebert from directors including Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Martin Scorsese and Oliver Stone.
"The motion picture is the art form I love above all others," Ebert said in a statement recorded via a synthetic computer voice with a British accent. "It is the symphony, and you are the conductors."

All they have to do to get me to watch is change all of the nominees.

I won't be watching, but that probably has more to do with no teevee then it does me protesting or what not.

I'm seriously considering just TiVoing it and fast-forwarding through it later that night. Haven't done that in 10 years.

You had a TiVo 10 years ago?
I plan to "watch" it by refreshing the IMDb front page every hour or so that night.

As sad as it seems, I'll be staying up through the night to watch it as usual. It's on in the UK between about 1am and 5.30am. I'll skip the red carpet vomit-fest though. There's sad, and there's beyond sad.

Actually, I don't think I got my first until 2000. I probably videotaped the show.

Any word on who's receiving an honorary award this year? Could they finally convince Doris Day to come out of hiding?

Jerry Lewis is getting the Hersholt Award. That appears to be
the only honorary award this year.

Thanks. As if I needed more incentive not to watch...
