Oscar's Original Songs of 2008
Stale Popcorn — Can I just point out that by the time I completed this I was too tired to do a proper spell/grammar check. Expect mistakes. Last year I did an exhaustive entry featuring all 59 eligible contenders for Oscar's Best Original Song category. And so I thought I'd do the same this year, naturally. There are 49 contenders this year.

Stale Popcorn — Sorry to all my readers. I've just had a few days where I could literally not think of a single thing to write for you guys. It's frustrating! I watched three movies yesterday because the weather was vile (I believe it got to something like 120 degrees in the old scale) and my brain had switched itself off to preserve energy. I finally got around to watching Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956 version), which was great fun. Doris Day was really great although the mass appeal of James Stewart continues to allude me outside of titles like The Philadelphia Story. We are not going near It's a Wonderful Life, okay! ...
