I've Been Going to the...MOOOOvies

I have seen five of the 10 2022 Oscar Best Picture nominations so far. All but one ("Belfast") in the theatre. Purely by coincidence, all five have been "period pictures".
"Belfast" 1966 Belfast, Northern Ireland.
"West Side Story" 1957 NYC.
"Nightmare Alley" 1940s U.S.
"Licorice Pizza" 1970s L.A.
"The Power of the Dog" 1925 Montana.
I definitely prefer my movies to be free of cellphones and iPads and other Millennial junk.

Well...two out of three ain't bad. Unfortunately, "India Song" was exactly the type of film that people who hate foreign films think they are all like. Like "Death in Venice" and "Last Year at Marienbad". Not even 'Hugo Drax' could save it.

Looking forward to missing the Oscars this weekend. 😄

This will be the second year in a row that I won't be watching. Amy Schumer is about as funny as a colonoscopy. Even worse, they have decided to not award 8 categories on the telecast..editing, original score, production and set design, etc...you know, the folks that actually have knowledge of their craft and work on a film. But no, let's have more room for stupid jokes and dance routines.

Like to see those idiots edit a film. Try it with a Movieola. Any tsunamis heading that way? 😄

"I believe in America". 

The first words spoken in this American classic released in U.S. theatres exactly 50 years ago on Friday March 24, 1972. Thereby reinvigorating the moribund gangster genre.

"The Piano"

I bet I'm not the only single dude who watched this movie with the thought, "Having a mute wife might just be a workable situation".  :lol:

Just like 'Click' with the wife mute control. 😄

I DVR’d it only to see the “In Memoriam” section (which they butchered by singing / showboating over), nominees/winners, and any real live music performances; most of it was skipped / fast forwarded through...
