The Oscar Meme, 2008

[zoethe]

The annual Oscar countdown! Bolding the ones I've seen and strikes for any that are no frickin' way:

Atonement
Juno
Michael Clayton
No Country for Old Men
There Will Be Blood
The Diving Bell and Butterfly (I read the book, and it's enough of a horror story)
Ratatouille
Lars and the Real Girl
The SavagesAway From Her

Yeow. So glad the druidess got rid of that thing! If you are thinking of seeing any of these movies via rental, I can definitely recommend Ratatouille and Enchanted and sweet fun, Michael Clayton as intelligent and clever, and if you don't mind bloody, No Country for Old Men.

Woo hoo! I am officially Completely Out of Touch! I haven't seen a single movie on the Oscar list yet.

Impressive!

You do have that "passel o' younguns" handicap going for you.

Norbit got an Oscar nod? How is that even possible?

[zoethe]

Makeup.

I know.

Fair Warning

[zevhonith]

La Vie En Rose is relentlessly miserable and unhappy. I realize most Oscar films fit that description, but this one more than most, I think. The music (I adore Edith Piaf) is the only redeeming factor.

Thank you. this is definitely not the week for us to be seeing it.

I know nothing about La Vie En Rose except that I keep mixing it up in my head with Ma Vie En Rose, which is probably quite different in plot. n.n;;
