Oscar Nominee Christoph Waltz Orbits Quentin Tarantino Graciously

Posted by mistergroonk in Movies on March 5, 2010

Oscar nominees of 2010 please pay attention. This is how you thank a body in public:

“A year and a half ago, I was exposed to the gravitational forces of Quentin Tarantino,” Waltz said at the Golden Globes in January. “He took my modest little world — my globe — and with the power of his talent and his words and his vision, he flung it into his orbit — a dizzying experience.”

Waltz capped off the speech by calling “Basterds” a “big bang of a movie,” adding: “I wouldn’t have dared to dream that my little world, my globe, would be part of that constellation. And now you’ve made it golden.”

The McCain vs Obama Wordle Battle

Posted by mistergroonk in Flickrlicious, USA, Versus on September 5, 2008

Thomas Hawk says:

I took John MCain’s acceptance speech from last night’s Republican convention and compared it to Barack Obama’s acceptance speech from the Democratic convention and made wordles of each. John McCain’s wordle is on top, Barack Obama’s is on bottom.

Note the little “war” that crept inside Obama’s “promise.” I’m sure it was chance that happened. A victim of code randomizing. And yet it is still a neat visual image.
