I think it's a little early for the Oscar movies to be coming out. They should be cranking up around late October.

You may have just had the three most annoying posts I have ever read. I would rather read more from that sploich idiot go on about how jon stewart and stephen colbert as anywhere near as terrible as carlos mencia. n_cruz69 mad it very clear what they ment in their statement. See, here in the english language we use these things called quotation marks when we choose to, stay with me here, quote people. just like n_cruz was QUOTING jon stewart. which they clearly backed up with "gold" (theres an example for you) which, unless im wrong and n_cruz69 just likes blurting out precious metals, was a comment on the quality of the joke. Past tense. Get it? So before you go an flame Jon Stewart like a 'tard and repeat stuff Colbert says because its funny when morons repeat it, actully remember what your talking about. Before you say Jon didn't do a good, make sure you actually WATCHED his preformance so, you know, you remember when people quote from it.

Copper!

Silverence, hey Don't be hatin on the double spacing. hey sue me, i just

have gotten used to and hey i still think its a cool way to stand out on most threads.

its not like i am wasting paper or anything. no waste on cyberspace! ha, to qoute

master splinter "i just made a funny". and thanks for noticing the sharp wit, i always

do my best to keep it from going dull. yep, "my wit" can cut through anything

well except britney's midsection, thats way too thick for even my wit;) and her mind is

even worse because its like trying to cut through air because there's nothing else up

there. oh, wait i think i see a leftover cheeto and what appears to be whats left of

her reading skills, which was not much to begin with. oh, silverance i am sorry if

offended your buddy n_cruz but geez i apologized what more do you want, sheesh!

*cancels rotten tomatoes account"

But seriously, aside from just ripping on idiots who use emoticons, I think that Stewart did a fine job last time and would do a better one this time. His writing was great last time but I think nerves affected his timing a little bit and that caused some of the dead air. That being said he was about 10 times as funny as Ellen. He just needs to relax a little, something that I think will come with it being his second outing. I don't think that people like Kevin Smith, as hysterical as he is, could necessarily pull it off because their kind of humor isn't based as much in sarcasm. His humor wouldn't translate as well to the venue. Personally I'm excited to finally have a reason to watch the Oscars again, aside from the last ten minutes.
