Much of a joke payoff is all about the reaction, but… nothing. <br /><br />8:46, this sums up my thoughts perfectly. Don’t let people ramble on for 7 minutes, but Jesus, give them their 2 minutes in the spotlight. Lose one “precious” musical number or tribute, and let people enjoy their moment.<br /><br />10:12, funny, I just noticed the exact same thing when I rewatched the movie before the Oscars. Loved that.<br /><br />Loved this post man, great, sardonic wrap up!Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-29861657219676196662013-02-25T22:32:41.566-06:002013-02-25T22:32:41.566-06:00This is all so fantastic!

And also.. when I heard MacFarlane's bit about the Oscars being like church, I instantly thought of you.

Oscar ain't perfect. But it's all right. Show a little faith. There's magic in the night."<br /><br />You're such a gifted writer. It just clicks with me and probably a lot of other people as well. Just wanted to let you know that. You've got Star quality. Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
