My girlfriend has been on a mission to see all of the Oscar movies before the Academy Awards tomorrow night. Several weeks ago we went to see A Beautiful Mind. When it was over we ducked into the adjacent theater and watched The Lord of the Rings I: The Fellowship of the Ring. (It was the first time I “stole” a movie since my mom and sister and I stayed in our seats to watch Rocky III twice in a row when it was in the theaters.) Last night we stole again and saw both In the Bedroom and Gosford Park. It’s really, really hard for me to feel guilty about “stealing” a movie when I pay SIX DOLLARS for one little bag of popcorn. I mean, I know it’s still stealing and I’m a rotten person and everything, but … c’mon. Six dollars?
So anyway … now she’s seen all five, but I still haven’t seen Moulin Rouge. We have it on DVD so maybe I’ll try to watch it tomorrow before the Awards …
