Well, I guess there's not much of anything to complain about in this
year's Oscar nominations; I either didn't see the film, or the
nomination seems appropriate (or at least somewhat credible).

However, not wanting to disappoint all those people who look forward
to a really ridiculous nomination (Pia Zadora nominated for best
anything (other than "prop") would have been a good example), I do note
one which fits into this category.... 

        Daniel Petrie Jr., for "Beverly Hills Cop"

Whoooooooop!  Haahaahaa!   cough cough
cough...

What few laughs I got out of this movie came from Eddie Murphy and his
glib, slick stage performance.  He took a very bad script by Mr. Petrie
and turned it into something at least appealing enough to watch without
fidgiting (too much).  While liking or disliking this movie seems to be
a matter for debate in net.movies, I would like to think that anybody
who *did* enjoy this movie have Murphy to thank for it.  Not Petrie. 
Who is probably a honkey anyway....
