I am currently not watching Oscar noms...I am watching the Super Bowl. I wish there were teams in it that I like though. Oh well. Since I ended up doing work during the first couple of hours, it's probably for the best. I have managed to look up and see some good looking movie previews and some ads that made me laugh out loud. Now I'm pretty much just waiting for Glee!
Friday night, instead of going out and being social, I decided to stay in because (a) I didn't feel so great and (b) the frozen tundra had gotten to me.I ended up working later than I'd planned, and then I ran into a friend while I made a stop before getting home. I did some cleaning and then decided to work on my craft project for my friend while I watched Toy Story 3. I should admit that I'm not a total fan of the Toy Story movies. I thought the first one was ok and didn't really care for the second one at all. But, I knew the premise of this last one and I thought it would be sweet. So I watched. And OMG, I cried buckets! I loved it...and generally feel it's the best of the trilogy. However, does this belong on the best picture AND best animated feature lists? No...it should only be on one of them...and frankly, maybe it goes on best picture and then Despicable Me could be on the animated one...or maybe the animated one should have four films and include Despicable Me and the best picture list should just have something else on it. Oh well. Whatever.
Saturday, another friend came by and rescued me as my windshield wipers were encased in an icy tomb and I couldn't break them free (they are now, as of 5pm today), therefore making driving an even bigger hazard than it already was. We shopped for a bit and then came back to my place and were joined by one more as we settled in to mock Eclipse. We've gotten together for each of the Twilight films...I see them in the theater, then I watch them a couple of times on my own, then I'm ready for my friends who don't like the movies or books to gather with me and bring on the witticisms. It's a very good time :) After they left, I decided to go ahead and watch Winter's Bone. This movie was a downer, but man, it was REALLY well done. I'm still rooting for The King's Speech, but if the girl who plays "Ree" wins an award, I would not be surprised. This was a harsh tale and while I wouldn't say I enjoyed it, I watched it and was surprised that it was pretty riveting.
Well, not much left in the 4th quarter, so I guess I'll go pay attention to the game now. Or maybe read while the game finishes to pass the time until Glee is on. I've really missed having new episodes every week!
