A Brilliant Idea

Sometimes, you hear a brilliant idea, one that you get instanteously and have to pursue.

Watching the broadcast of this year's historic, most-boring-ever Oscars -- I mean, Martin Scorese finally wins Best Director and then they play canned music over the standing ovation and Marty stands up and thanks every agent in town, woo woo -- what got me was the Oscar for Best Short Film (or whatever that category is called). The winning nominee was "West Bank Story." I didn't get for a second and then they started showing Palestinians and Israelis approaching each other in lines, snapping their fingers.

Just like West Side Story.

That's genius. I have got to see this one.
