Oh well. The place was packed with film geeks and Harvey got a standing ovation. I drove four hours just to see it. Got drunk afterwards and made fun of some ravers. Threw a beer bottle at a guy with green hair and Day-glo sticks.
I think Kevin Costner even being nominated for Dances was a farce. That movie was a big sentimental buffalo chip. It totally glamorized Native Americans as Noble Savages without even addressing the hardships that made them tough in the first place. No Indian in Dances was going blind because there wasn't enough meat in his diet, and everyone looked robust and healthy instead of like the lean feral soldier/killers you see in photographs.
