Oscar thoughts
It dawned on me that I haven't even seen any of the big movies nominated here. I thought Argo was some sort of update of Jason and the Argonauts until some woman at work explained to me it had something to do with Iran or Iraq and the war. Lincoln I'd have to be in the proper frame of mind first to sit through and even then I might find it boring. Silver Linings Playbook, chick flick. Of the current crop I'd opt for Django. Zero Dark Thirty is the type of movie I'd definitely watch but it's not so pressing that it can't wait 'til the DVD comes out which is my way of doing things lately that is if all the FYE stores don't close down in the meantime. I was in a DVD store just last week on my day off and it must be slow there and/or they're overly concerned about shoplifting or something but no sooner did I enter the store than the young female clerk practically accosted me, handed me a bag for my goodies, asked me if this is my first time here and then when I started to browse kept following me and asking me if I'm finding everything ok and things like that and I found the whole experience supremely distracting. My whole shopping concentration was thrown off and I have to say I made some poor selections. Look I get it about customer focus and all that but sometimes us browsers just want to be left alone. I mean I don't know what I want, I'll know it when I see it. Don't go to the movies, can't shop - anybody got a bootleg copy of Django?

ReplyDeleteclerk? Weight loss has its fringe benefits...
Dammit I wrote a big post that got sucked into the vortex.
ReplyDeleteSynopsis: I didn't see any of the movies either. We don't have ABC so we didn't see the Oscars. I am not feeling deprived as a result. Jason and the Argonauts is my favorite Ray Harryhausen movie and every single movie that has special effects since then has a special moment in it (if you look hard enough) that you can find that owes itself directly to some Harryhausen special effect.
I heard Seth MacFarlane was a dick.
ReplyDeleteDon't follow film much, but was glad to see Anne Hathaway win for
ReplyDeleteLes Mis. Most actresses do not do their own singing anymore, but she does...and very well.
Then she had that boyfriend of hers not that long ago and he was involved somehow in some scandal to swindle folks at the Vatican,
ReplyDeletewhy does everything lead back to the Vatican?
'why does everything lead back to the Vatican?'
ReplyDelete..goes back to Romulus and Remus-
All Roads Lead To Rome. I'm thinking the curia ought to open
a casino on the grounds somplace.
Why not? local Catholic churches here have gambling nights. Seth MacFarlane, I thought the Oscars was supposed to be a dignified affair so like why him?
ReplyDeleteI nominate Kim Jong Un & Dennis Rodman for best performers in the
ReplyDelete'Odd Couple'.
If the Worm likes it there so much he should move there.
ReplyDeleteThe Jets don't know what to do with Tebow..could he be a diplomat?
ReplyDeleteLike to the Vatican?
He can't be a diplomat to the Vatican... he's not Catholic. And as all good Protestants know, Catholics aren't even really Christians, really, even, just like Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons.
ReplyDeleteTebow would never unequally yoke himself to such unbelievers.
I think Rodman just wanted to get his name in the news again. When you used to be famous there's something about being sucked into the vortex of anonymity, the forgotten esp. when you once went out with Madonna.
