Our friend Moment of Zen has been kind enough to provide a poetic introduction to the 2003 Xixax Awards:



My scruples, which I freeze and burn
which taste of molten taciturn
which oft allow more than I earn
which make me teach before I learn

They cut me like a lewd assault
like nature's law of cruel default
or fascist naked barrel vault
through which I feel my lucid fault

My tonic, which I mix and stir
my existential catheter
my kin who changed from what they were
my itch to scratch, to self-assure
to long deny what must occur:
the death of that which I prefer

To separate the small elite
from massive crowds who know defeat
is like to gnaw on rotten meat
to taste the salt and call it sweet

The fungus birthed upon my toe
has flourished, with nowhere to go
So shall it see the wide expanse?
Shall hills of earth embrace its dance?
Shall groups of lichens shun its face?
Will all its efforts thus erase?
I mourn the loss of viral greens
and watch as all the cult convenes
to seal the fate of peaceful doves
of which it hates, of which it loves





special thanks to Mr. Xixax himself for the shiny new trophies

SHAFTR:
I guess I'm a little disappointed that 8 awards went to PDL, and pretty much the rest of them, 3, went to Adaptation.

Even though it wouldn't make sense, I'm surprised that either didn't win Best Debut Film, Documentary or DVD.

Not much variety.

Xixax:
Well, we do have to consider the source of most of the user traffic that makes its way through here.

The plan is to diversify through other boards in the future. At least that's my hope.

This is just the first year. Next year will probably be much different since 1: we'll have more users, and 2: There won't be a PTA film to walk away with things.

Great job with the awards and stuff. Like the trophies.

PDL winning a lot was expected. It's a nice thing I think, esp. b/c PDL got canned this year at the oscars. However, best editing for Leslie Jones over LoTR, Gangs, and Minority Report? I think some people may need a lesson to exactly what editing is...

MacGuffin:
PDL is the Norah Jones of the Xixax Awards.
