I know you’re having an Oscar party, so don’t forget your printable pdf ballot.
It’s funny, last year I probably saw more movies at the theatre than in any other year of my life. For only the second time in my life (the first time being last year), I’ve see all of the Best Picture nominees [...]
The Conversation: Undeniably awesome!
Breathless: Sexily French!
Away From Her: Sadly boring!
Taken: Disappointingly corny!

Don’t get too excited, I didn’t go there. Maybe next year. But I was just reading about it in this LA Times article, with the oh-so-clever headline “Like its well-fed folks, the Austin, Texas, gathering is swelling” (aren’t there too many commas in there?).

25 Movies That I Really Like
Rushmore
