Well, the Academy Award nominations are out once again. There was a time when I would have seen most of the big category films, plus a good portion of the lesser category nominees. This year, I have seen Shrek 2. That is it. Out of all of those movies in all of those categories, just one cartoon (and it wasn't near as good as the original).
It's not that I don't want to see any of these shows; it's more that I don't have time (read: it's too much of a pain to get a baby-sitter just to go to a theater veg' in front of movie screen for two hours). I also made a deal with Steph (and with myself) that if I could finish my home theater system, I would wait for movies to come out on DVD rather than going to the theater. I really wouldn't mind seeing The Aviator in the theater, but I will wait for DVD (but I'm not going to wait when Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith comes out in theaters!).
So, what were your favorite movies (or films) of the year?
Posted by jethro at January 25, 2005 07:45 AM | TrackBackKris and I usually see a lot of films, especially during the fall and winter. When the Oscar nominations are announced, I've usually seen most of the Best Picture nominees.
Not this year.
This year, thanks to the new house and my new frugal lifestyle, I've not seen any of the major nominees, despite having a good guess at what they'd be. Still, I hope to see all five Best Picture candidates in the next month, plus House of Flying Daggers.
Of all the films, I'm most looking forward to House of Flying Daggers.
