In his comment following an Ain't It Cool riff on last Saturday's writer's panel at the Santa Barbara Film Festival, Drew McWeeny (a.k.a., "Moriarty") wrote, "I heard that Jeffrey Wells tried to shout down John Logan at one point about The Aviator." C'mon...I hardly shouted Logan down. I simply asked his view about the heavy emphasis given to Howard Hughes' obsessive compulsive disorder in Martin Scorsese's film, given (a) a view shared by Hughes biographer Pat Broeske that Hughes' OCD didn't manifest big-time until the 1950s, and (b) given the fact that a 2002 draft of Logan's script (the dialogue from which was very closely adhered to by Scorsese) didn't emphasize it quite as much. "Itís amazing to me how some people get so invested in the Oscars that they start to disparage the work of the people theyíre not rooting for, even to the point of attacking them verbally in a public forum," McWeeny remarked. There's a certain way of putting a question when you're "attacking" someone, and -- believe me -- I put my question to Logan in a very measured and respectful way.

It is a appreciable that you are too good to manage your blog because actual meaning of blog dies if irrelevant comments remain for long time.For good post knowledge based comments should be written so that people can learn from this blog.
