25 days until OSCAR...

[biw]

I think i've made an honourable leap forward in the number of films i've seen since the nominations were announced last week, but i'm a bit concerned about that lengthy list of films that can't be found anywhere. I guess time will tell...

So, from this year's list of 44 nominated films, i've now seen 19:

Across The Universe
Atonement
The Bourne

There Will Be Blood = BEST MOVIE EVER MADE

Glad to see you back on the ol' LJ.

Really? I haven't seen it yet ... but i think it's rated PG or something -- can a movie only one step away from a G-rating really be the best movie ever made?

And yes, i have missed the ol' LJ -- and you, in particular, Katie! -- but i'm afraid i'll be gone again soon. I just don't seem to have the time to write for that "G" audience anymore. The truth is that i -- just like you -- found someone special ... and i tend to simply write what's on my mind in letter-form and send it all to her. (You see, she lives in Ontario, while i live in British Columbia.) Hmmm ... maybe i'll come back to LJ, at least to read and to comment -- i bet it would take me a month to get caught up on everything you've written since i've been away!

I was amazed to find out later that it's rated PG. The music alone should make it R.

You could always scan those letters and post them here, you know. Just a thought . . .

[biw]

No scanning necessary -- it's not like they're handwritten letters! (Who still does that?) And ... ummm ... wouldn't that somehow cheapen them, if i copied and pasted things i wrote to her and made them for public consumption?

[evelynnash]

Oh, and also: congratulations! I'm very pleased for you.

Thank you. It's a lovely little story actually: we were friends in elementary school, but we hadn't seen each other for 24 years until Facebook came along, and we started chatting, and before we knew it, everything just felt right...
