Not the best way to spend Fat Tuesday

I saw a lot of people wearing Mardi Gras beads around the city yesterday, perhaps they were showing their support for a city that was so devastated by Katrina last year. I know in my heart of hearts that they really just wanted to DRINK hurricanes. I did not get drunk last night, I went to go see the Oscar nominated Transamerica with my Mother. Not a good decision. The fact that this movie received any nominations at all just further goes to show how really poor 2005 was for movies. I'm not going to get into how annoying I found this movie, but there was so much that wasn't addressed and so much of it that seemed like it was a really poorly written after-school special. I would have to say that the best part of the film came when a pre sex change Felicity Huffman has to take a leak and you see full-on male genitalia. My Mom was so shocked during this scene that she simply gasped out loud: "Oh Shit!"
