Though, on the other hand, said uncle of mine, after grousing about exercise and quitting smoking in the wake of his heart attack, is sitll off the cigarettes and is now doing 20 minutes twice a day on a treadmill. So hey, maybe he'll actually watch the Oscars this year.
Oh, and Timm-- re the Oscars: Whitaker got the Oscar nod because he did a good job portraying him. Because it's acting. It's not real. Whitaker doesn't really think like Amin. But I understand getting the movies and real life confused. Ronald Reagan did it all the time.
Off this topic- did anyone else see Sir Ian's explanation of acting on "Extras?" Too hilarious. I thought that episode was pretty sub-par (compared to some of the others), but that part was awesome.
