And the Oscar goes to . . .

Driving Miss Daisy through the Grand Canyon!

. . . oh, and we shouldn’t forget to mention, as an important precursor, the breakthough 1997 film Volcano, in which Los Angeles’s racial tensions are resolved when everyone is covered in volcanic ash.  Magnolia gave us “the frogs are general over all LA,” Volcano gave us “the ashes are general over all LA,” Crash gives us “the snow is general over all LA.” There’s your glorious mosaic right there!

Well, I suppose it’s not an utter travesty.  A travesty, yeah, but not an utter travesty.  After all, we survived Titanic and Terms of Endearment and Forrest Gump and Dances with Wolves.  We can survive this.

Actually, I didn’t survive Dances with Wolves.  But you get the idea.
