I think this Impala will be to the 60s model as the CTS was/is to the 1959 Eldorado. Lots of evocative cues, lots of heritage, you know it's a Cadillac, but thoroughly modern. Chevy Kappa? Go for it. Economies of scale are our friends.

Heh...obviously you're seeing some of our members' tendancies to project their own biases on people they know nothing about.Glad to hear a REAL representative from the SAAB Community to set the record straight!

Dude, what do you think Hugh Heffner drives? It ain't a BMW. :AH-HA_wink:

Great news, but predictable. It's good there will be some US-specific product. It will be interesting, though, if such efforts will be easily differentiated from the European. Saturn doesn't need to be schizophrenic with its product any longer.

Huh. It even looks OEM. What years was this available? God, I love this car more and more...

The Aurora had NAV? I wasn't aware of that!

See, I draw the opposite conclusion. With Ledger, he just had to be believable. With Hoffman, not only did he have to be believable, but he had to nail Capote's mannerisms. With Hoffman, there was always the "threat" of someone going "look, he sucked because Capote did X, X and X and Hoffman didn't." Whereas with Ledger, there was no direct comparison so as long as the acting was in character and believable it would be a good performance.

Yea, it was pretty funny. Clooney's speech was still the highlight IMO.

...it appears to have LED taillights. ???

No.I'm not hoaxing here man.

unibody.

I think it's for the C-Max? So Mazda hatch? Sorry I can't be more of help on this, I forget which site I heard this on.

Well, ford is bringing the platform over to NA. I believe it will underpin a future Mazda and then the Focus (for economies of scale).

Brokeback wasn't robbed in my opinion. It wasn't the best storyline and had quite a few holes. The soundtrack won and Ang Lee won. 2 Oscars? For a movie with some technical issues? That's pretty good.Clooney definitely deserved his Oscar for Syriana over Jake Gyllanhaal...of what else do you think it was robbed?

Crash is about racial tensions in Los Angeles.

No link, but I have heard credible stuff through the grapevine it is coming and will be built in Mexico.

Felicity should have won...infinitely better actress.

Selma Hayek was ravishing tonight...and Clooney's acceptance speech was awesome. I love this town...

See, I think all humans experience the same emotions, the causes are just different. No are any easier to deal with because what is devastating for one is no big deal for another.

Sitcoms are fluff by their very nature. If it were made for girls with gay acquaintances, then it was made for 80+% of women. Unfortunately for your argument, every gay male I know LOVES that show. Granted, that's anecdotal, but it isn't quite the disdain you are showing. Fine, I'll let it drop if you're going to. But "old married couple"? That's just wishful thinking on your part. :AH-HA_wink:

Will & Grace was a series, on every week, over 7 years. It made a huge impact because it was recurring and not just in select theatres for a month or two. Yes, ocn...the gay community was just up in arms about how sanitized Will and Grace was. They boycotted that show because they portrayed Will and Jack kissing on "Live TV" as well as having two gay characters who were not just there to be the brunt of homophobic jokes. Puhlease. We both know that was NOT the reaction that occurred. Honestly? I think W&G did more for the gay community because it was just an everyday sitcom where the characters happened to be gay and there was nothing wrong with it. With BBM, once again it's just a BIG DEAL that they are gay. Its main selling point is that the characters are gay. The story even has some problems with it...but remember the characters are gay and the scenery is great so it must win all of its awards.

If he were asleep and hadn't tensed up he could have walked away from it.

I never claimed to know you, though you ARE the one talking about getting validated through Hollywood. Sorry, but the good person you know yourself to be and the good things you do on a daily basis should be validating enough... Frankly, I think Will & Grace broke more ground than Brokeback. Oh, and W&G was 7 years ago.

No, I think you're reading WAY too much into it. By your logic, the validation should have come with the LAST awards show. Seriously...I wouldn't call Brokeback a phenomenon simply because it hasn't achieved mega Box Office success. I don't think it's any more of a phenomenon than Boys Don't Cry or any of those other movies were. Symbolic? Sure. But I wouldn't overhype it. Seriously...if you need a particular movie at a Hollywood awards show to win all the awards it was nominated for personal validation, I think you might want to talk to a therapist. I'm not saying that to be mean, but because I think it could really help you.

Second the motion.
