I gotta admit, I only got five words into the headline before I clicked.
Bitter disappointment followed.

I'm surprised you just clicked. Figured you'd be on your way to the Valley View AMC after only reading 5 words into the headline...

Well, I assumed there would be a specific time. I'm not a rabid star wars fan; I don't camp out in front of movie theatres waiting weeks for an event.

For once, I've seen all of the best picture nominees. I have to say all five are excellent films. I found Juno, by far to be the most entertaining. It is very funny, and yet touching and thought provoking. Both No Country for Old Men and There will be blood are wonderfully well made films. They both offer a particularly bleak view of the world. I don't say that as a criticism, but rather an observation which interferes with them being uplifting. That's not essential in a film of course, but makes it less of an enjoyable experience. I say Michael Clayton this w/end Very fine film. George Clooney does an exceptional job of portraying a world weary character. The film is first rate. I loved Atonement. In fact it is my number 2 pick. The five minute tracking shot on the beach of Dunkirk is worth the price of admission. The scene with the Quaker hymn, Dear Lord And Father Of Mankind, is what cinema is supposed to achieve. Wonderful story, very well told.
I don't think I'd want to see them back to back though. I think that would wear me out. I'd see everyone of those films again though.

Sorry, Catte Nappe, but I only get a chance to bring this picture out like once a month.
