It's Great to Be Nominated. Yea, Right!

Something to get excited about: the Academy is starting up its "Great to be Nominated" series again. The fourth installment of this series features movies from 1977 to 1992 that got the most nominations of its year without winning Best Picture.

The series begins in April and goes through the summer. Screenings are generally on Mondays (some Tuesdays, I think) and will be at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. Looks like a great theater and, since it's the Academy, only the best prints available will be screened. Oh, and to top it off, there will be a panel discussion after each screening.

The first movie is Star Wars (April 23-- George Lucas might be a panelist). Other movies include Raging Bull (May 14), Tootsie (June 4), A Room with a View (July 9), Broadcast News (July 16) and Dangerous Liaisons (July 23).

Rodney Gets His Star

Rodney's friends and admirers, including Kato Kaelin, Pamela Des Barres and The Bangles, came out to honor Lazy Eye's favorite KROQ dj as he got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He couldn't look happier. Way to go, Rodney.

Lazy Eye 90210 "Adjacent"

With much enthusiasm, we announce that our next meeting will be held on the west side. Yes, way! We are opening up our hearts and minds and driving into the sunset.

We'll be watching The Jerk, that silly willy nilly Steve Martin comedy. If you liked The Pink Panther, you'll love The Jerk! Plan on being there. Stay tuned for details on time, date and location.

It's almost summer and that means time for Lazy Eye: The Outdoor Edition. Nothing set yet, but do keep a lookout for potential Lazy Eye field trips. Perhaps something at Last Remaining Seats. We're open to ideas.

Last but not least, here were last night's movie club suggestions:

K.D.: ** The Jerk**, Gloria (Gena Rowland's version), Valley Girl

K.W.: LA Story, Grease II, The Goonies

E.W.: LA Story, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Short Cuts

E.D.: Major League, Dream Team, Terminator 1

J.L.: LA Story, Blade Runner, Flashdance

J.V.L.: The Tall Guy, The Spanish Prisoner, The Hunt for Red October

R.C.: Earthquake, Blue Thunder, Valley Girl, Teen Wolf

MadPres: Weekend at Bernie's, Witness, Teen Wolf, Clue
