yes, we watch the oscars. we enjoyed it enough. i tried to get some Fed Courts reading done at the same time, but i wasn't so successful.

of all the nominated films, these are the ones I saw:

King Kong
Chronicles of Narnia
Corpse Bride
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Syriana
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
The March of the Penguins
War of the Worlds

these are the ones i have wanted to see, or still do want to see, but did not:

Constant Gardener
Junebug
Brokeback Mountain
Crash
Good Night and Good Luck
Walk the Line
Match Point
A History of Violence
Howl's Moving Castle
North Country
Batman Begins

There have been years (in the early days of our relationship) where Beloved and I made it our business to see all of the major category nominees, and as many of the minor category nominees as possible.

It is kind of pathetic that the only non-kid movies that i saw this year (of the nominees) were the 2 "big dumb movies" (as beloved and i call them) - War of the Worlds and King Kong.

I guess we have some DVD renting to do. hopefully this year, I will do better at getting out without the kids, and with my love, or with a friend, to see some movies.

I own Crash. Should I send it to you?

How did school go today Ms. Read-nothing.

oh, should you send it to me? I'm tempted to say yes, but then I think, "hmmm, I'm 2 days into this quarter, and kind of overwhelmed with reading and written assignments ...." which means if you did send it to me, it would sit atop my television until it was time for me to realize that you're probably wondering where your damned DVD is, and I have to send it back unwatched!

So [sigh] I guess not.
