MOST TEAR-JERKING-EST FEATURE FILMThere was a huge selection of teary, jerky movies this year: therewas the chirpy-weepy Little Miss Sunshine, and thebaklava-syrupy The Pursuit Of Happyness – but the awardgoes to Babel, which was so magnificently miserable, fortwo and a half hours, all I could hear was the cast crying, theaudience crying, and even the projectionist crying, from inside hissound-proofed, triple-glazed glass booth. I saw this film with myfriend, Roger, and afterwards we were so shattered by the powerfulthemes of human fear and cultural isolation, we sat down in a cafeand discussed the movie’s most profound question: how do youpronounce “Babel”? – I thought it was pronounced “Babble” but Rogersaid it was pronounced “Bay-bel” and I said “No, I’m pretty sureit’s Babble” and he said “NO, IT’S DEFINITELY BAY-BEL” and thiswent on for about an hour and a half, yeah I really love thoseintense kind of post-cinema intellectual discussions. BEST SPECIAL-EFFECT CREATURE IN A NON SPECIALEFFECTFILMI took the kids to a film called Miss Potter, because Ithought it might be a Harry Potter spin-off with funny wizards andelves and magical little puffy-faced creatures – but it turned outto be a straight biographical movie about the famous author BeatrixPotter, though it did feature a funny little puffy-faced magicalcreature, known as a “Zellweger”. The Zellweger is an enchantinglittle squirrel-cheeked beastie with trembly squinty-wincey eyes,so she always looks like she’s about to burst out crying, even whenshe’s supposed to happy – it can get a bit annoying, and sometimesyou just want to thwack a Zellweger right in her magical littlepuckery pouty mouth. ACTOR WHO MAKES ME FEEL MOST INADEQUATENominations include Hugh Jackman in The Prestige, who mybeloved said was “Really cute, especially when he’s got his shirtoff, nice, yeah, no shirt, hmmmmm” – man, I hate that Hugh Jackman,he’s just a Huge Jack-off. And there’s also Johnny Depp inPirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest who my daughtersaid was “Total coolness, like, he’s so hot, oh my God he’s, like,coolness, HE’S, LIKE, HOTNESS” – I had no idea what she was talkingabout. But the award has got to go to Daniel Craig playing JamesBond in Casino Royale: in one scene he steps out of theCaribbean surf, all buff and hairless, wearing sexy little tightblue swimmers – when I try to walk out of the surf looking007-sexy, the Velcro fly on my boardies pops open, there’s a pieceof kelp stuck to my stomach hair, and I’ve got a bubble of snotpoking out of my nose, going in and out every time I breathe.
