Spring sprang over the weekend. Now it is hot.
Yet again, I failed to see any of the films nominated for Best Film, although I did see Wall-E. Which had a nominated song and some technical awards. For me that's pretty good. As much as I love the movie theater popcorn, I do not love paying upwards of nine-ten bucks to sit in a room with people who bring infants and toddlers to definitely non-age-appropriate movies, who idly text on their phones throughout the movie, or just sit and have full-volume conversations during the movie. And it sucks, because I used to love going to the movies way back in the day.
I paid to see Raiders of the Lost Ark twenty times in the theater. Twenty! Total geek in high school! Total geek still!
Total geek who hasn't gotten around to seeing Slumdog. Is it on video yet?
I liked Hugh Jackman as host, and had no idea he could sing. Sophia Loren frightened me. You know she was just waiting for someone to ask uh, what now? about that homemade pot-scrubber dress so she could coolly remove their head with a single icy glare. I also liked the mini-affirmation ceremonies for the best acting noms. Everyone goes home a winner!
In other news, I am still apparently not back into it enough to dive into politics. Coming soon, I promise.

My family still laughs at me because I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark 4 times in the theater! You beat me handily in geekness, tho.
Slumdog still in theaters and worth seeing on the big screen.
You didn't see Milk? It really is a great movie. But, Slumdog deserved everything it won, and is totally worth putting up with all of the annoyances that invariably come with movie-going.
