Impressive nonetheless.

The award was for best sound in 1986 for Platoon. My neighbor's husband was awarded with that Oscar and she had it on a shelf in her computer room. I happened to be over there working on her computer for her. Nice lady...her computer was FUBAR though. :laugh: I had to reinstall Windows.

It was pretty cool to hold an actual Oscar trophy in my hands and imagine being up there accepting it even though I'm not at all impressed by such things.

He passed away a couple years ago. Nice guy, I only talked to him a few times though.

You took it with you when you left, didn't you?

"Where's my husband's oscar?"
"What oscar?"
"The one I showed you earlier."
"I don't remember anything like that."
"Please, it's my only memory of him."
"Remember this: *Jules whips it out*"

Chris Taylor: Anyway you cut it, Barnes is a fvcking murderer!
King: Right on.
Rhah: Taylor, I remember when you first came in here, telling me how much you admired the bastard.
Chris Taylor: I was wrong.
Rhah: Wrong? You ain't never been right, about nothing! And dig this you assholes, and dig it good. Barnes has been shot seven times and he ain't dead, does that mean anything to you, huh? Barnes ain't meant to die! The only thing that can kill Barnes is Barnes.

I picked up an Xbox 360 tonight and felt the same way, much heavier than you think just looking at the box.
