We at SFD love movies as much as you do. Accordingly, being just back from a thrilling Berlinale ’07 we’re feeling freakinglish excited about the upcoming Oscar’s night.

And the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung just informed us, that Ulf Poschardt wrote in Vanity Fair Deutschland – wait, that was Anthony Lane in Condé Nast’s high-brow flagship The New Yorker??! Okay, Mr Lane wrote (transl. Karin Laub):

In the words of the later Metallica, err, David Lynch: “It’s a funny world.”
