Newsies! We're on the Youtube now?

Dear Readers, so my Tequila week has gotten back on track, thanks of course to last night. Before I get into that, I'd like to mention that The Cinema Club is now on Youtube. Here is a link to our channel: Clicky this Link to go to the Youtube! Unfortunately, the channel is extremely boring at this moment and there aren't any videos to watch. Yet. 

 

Right. So I'd like to mention all the shenanigans I got into last night, as it was ever so much fun. But since this is a movie blog, I must avoid the personal anecdotes as much as possible. So I cleverly mashed Movies and Tequila Night together and created a video to share with you all. So here it is: 

The Story of my Night, Cleverly Retold via Movie Clips

 

Now that I'm all partied out, I'm ready to just eat popcorn, play video games, and watch movies with my brother and our two cats. What's this? I have 3 novels to read for my English class? SHHHHHHHHH!

Shush your mouth, we're on vacation.

ALSO, the Oscars are on Sunday and there isn't a hockey game that day, so I will be able to watch the awards from start to finish. 

OSCARS!

Regulars here at the Cinema Club will be attending the Oscars on the 26th. We'll be looking out for George Clooney (as per usual) and Gary Oldman, as they are both nominated for best actor in a Leading Role. 

Furthermore, Tintin has been nominated for Original score and I am entirely disgusted that it hasn't been nominated for Animated Feature. Seriously, who was smoking enough crack to not nominate Tin-freakin'-tin for best animated feature??? Uhhhg.

Drive, which was just previously "reviewed" by the Cinema Club (psst, scroll down!) has been nominated for Sound Editing.

I'm looking forward to seeing Ryan Gosling on the red carpet. And I'm crossing my fingers that Tim Roth will decide to make an appearance. Meanwhile, I am extremely hungry and this post ends now.        

Actors: Good Things Come In Small Packages?

The truth is, I actually haven't seen a movie in weeks. I've been too busy watching hockey. With all this hot controversy about head shots in hockey,  I had a conversation with my father about Zdeno Chara. That of course lead to a talk about his mutant height (6'9 without skates...!!!).

I imagine he's letting out a guttural, mutant-like cry.

 The conversation quickly turned to people on the opposite end of the height spectrum. My father posed a rather peculiar question... "Why are actors so short?" I found this question to be completely ridiculous (my father's definition of short is anything under 6feet- I beg to differ). But he did make a bit of a case... lots of very successful actors are in fact under 6feet. 

Tom Cruise, who is 5'7 (and I'll admit, not particularly tall for a dude) has an estimated wealth of $250million dollars. 

Johnny Depp, who is 5'10 (which is in my opinion an ideal height), makes about 75 million a movie. 

Ben Stiller, who is 5'8, made about 53million for Night At The Museum.

The list continues with actors who stand under 6ft, including Adam Sandler, Tom Hanks, Leonardo DiCaprio, Daniel Radcliffe, Robert Downey JR, Brad Pitt, Russell Crowe and George Clooney. They all make approximately over 19million dollars per movie. 

One of my favorite actors, Tim Roth, who happens to posses a wealth of talent, stands at 5'7. The list of "short actors" continues... so the question is raised: Do great things come in small packages? Do shorter actors posses more talent than taller ones? I highly doubt this. But it makes an interesting investigation. 

George Clooney: wealthy, talented and attractive!

 El Capitain OUT!
