I am glad that they won an Oscar, only because the director looked disheveled. It makes me proud to see people wearing ugly clothes at the Oscars, but that might just be because I couldn't care less about fashion.
Hee! Peter Jackson looks seriously unkempt. I forgot to check to see if he was wearing a regular shirt with his tux, as he did at the Golden Globes. I do care about fashion, though more in terms of its function as a social signifier than as a way to fret about my own closet.
I certainly don't think my lack of engagement with the films is through lack of talent or effort on the part of the cast and crew. I have loved other films of Mr. Jackson's very much: Heavenly Creatures, and the absolutely sick Meet the Feebles. I was delighted that he mentioned MtF in his acceptance speech.
I also like that woman (whose name escapes me) who always goes up on stage with him who has the wild sort of punk-nymph hairdos full of twigs and flowers. I know she is part of the team, but all I care about is that she has fun, cool hair piled up in a big mess.
re: FL size. Well, I have just about 300 people listing me as a friend and I've got a handful more (individuals and communities) that I list, and I automatically friend basically everyone, especially if they list SV or slash as an interest. Sometimes I think the lack of reciprocal friending is "political" and other times it's a total mystery to me. Frankly, it vexes me greatly that I cannot dictate how people use the FL concept.
