That could have saved 3 1/2 hours of my life.
Although, I am glad I watched it to hear Glen and Marketa sing and win.

Man, Jennifer Hudson was like weirdly flat last night eh? And Ford seemed somewhat tipsy. Or maybe that's just old age.

That wasn't Harrison Ford, that was replicant.
Man was he awkward...guess that's what happens when you're around George Lucas a lot?

NewsFlash: Harrison Ford simply does not like appearing before crowds. And there's a documentary coming out about him and his flying adventures. Yes, Indy can fly a plane.
