Alfred never won an Oscar? That's terrible. "Psycho" and "Vertigo" are on Jim's favourite film list. I also loved "I Confess". Bat 1 and Bat 2 not winning a Grammy for Jim is ridiculous. With the screwy way things are, I'm surprised that Bat 3 didn't win a best album Grammy.

Me too. Its her best.

Exactly. Even the "I'd Lie For You" video was made to look like it was picking up where the "Anything For Love" video ended. It was like trying to cash in on Jim without involving him. Worse than Bat 3. At least Jim wrote the first UK released single fron that album (IACBTMN) - which might have worked if it hadn't already been a monster hit for Celine Dion.

Yes. Well remembered. That's interesting.
