Anyone catch AFI salute to M. Douglas?


It was on up here the other night in Canada. Didn't get to watch
the whole two hours, but I did tune in at the right moment to catch
the "Wonder Boys" segment. Pretty good, Toby M. stood up and gave
a nice tribute, as did the director, and then the finale was Bob
Dylan singing the theme song with full band. Sadly, bob being bob,
you could hardly make out the lyrics, and they played it to a slightly
different beat, but it was still very cool and M. Douglas seemed to
really appreciate everyone's efforts. Also, he did seem to be
enjoying the attention, but he hardly cracked a smile, even at the
jokes, etc. His wife was there, as well as his dad which really
surprised me. I did manage to capture that segment to DVD MPEG2
file, if anyone is interested, but it's too big to email, would
have to be FTP'd. If enough requests show up, I can maybe stick
it up on a temp web page for a few days, I'm sure AFI would not
want it being put up on utube, etc...
