    Yeah, Wall-E got just gushing reviews, and I did enjoy it, but I probably enjoyed Kung Fu Panda more.

    I am not planning to watch the Oscars, but I will be mighty PO’ed tomorrow morning if I see that Rourke didn’t win. I haven’t seen “Milk” yet and I’m sure it’s good, but I really really liked “The Wrestler”.
