Call us crazy, but we're not as excited about the Oscars as we could be. We're happy the writers' strike is over, because we support writers as much as anyone (we're pretty writerly ourselves, y'know). Still, the fact that everyone's excited about ads, parties, and fashion (though we do like the Penelope Cruz pick) rather than films speaks to just how Hollywood our movie industry has become--and just how sad that is for the films themselves. So please excuse us if we seem a little grouchy this weekend.

When it comes to Oscar fashion, we prefer to watch the red carpet arrivals on mute. Bostonist doesn't care who people were wearing. Bostonist doesn't care for the backstory. We just care whether or not people look good.

The South By Southwest Festival in Austin has three components: Music, Film, and Interactive. And probably nobody navigates their way between these three worlds as well as Henry Rollins.

He gave a freewheeling, honest talk at a one-on-one interview session with Esquire journalist Andy Langer.
