WTF?!!! OK - It's official ... HELL HAS FROZEN OVER.
LOL - Actually, I liked the Defamer's (LA gossip website) take on the whole thing (the site is NOT a fan of Crash):
"Perhaps even more disquieting than the notion that Lionsgate somehow didn't allow Haggis to fully realize his heavy-handed vision in the version that won Best Picture (we hear that in the Director's Cut, the entire movie will be split-screened with a continuous loop of the Rodney King video) is the thought of what Crash Day might entail--if the movie's vision of LA is important and accurate enough to merit this kind of recognition, a Very Special Day of staged carjackings, racially motivated traffic-stop fondlings, and redemptive, colorblind car-fire rescues seems completely unnecessary, even if there's a new DVD that needs promoting."
I'm telling you, the Scientologists have taken over ... when that fake baby "emerges" from Katie Holmes, the world is coming to a "Crashing" end.

Oh my god courtney! I hadn't even read this and I just typed up this review of Crash on flixster:
--- Quote ---Would be a good TV movie, but it may aswel have been a 10min movie of someone just telling you how bad racism is. I get it, racism=bad, you don't have to shove it in my face. It hardly went anywhere and how good can a movie starring ludacris be? Why it won the Oscar I do not know, best film of 2005? I think not.

It is kind of scary! Well the saying does go: great minds think alike....fools never differ. But I will go for the great minds option. :P
p.s if you wanna get over to flixster and create an account to boost up BBM ratings over there I would be greatful, cause crash is getting 4 and 1/2 stars and BBM has only got 3 1/2! Here is the link if you wanna help:

LMAO! This is the first thing that popped in my head. Then the 2nd thought was...isn't this already going on in L.A.? >:D
