In non Oscar news, Angela Bassett and Courtney Vance are the parents of twins now. A boy and a girl, born to a surrogate mother.
'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I haven't seen a single movie on that list. Of course, that's because I pretty much didn't see any new movies in the last year.

Gee, I thought Crash was pretty good. I only saw it the one time soon after it came out, but it's really stuck with me. Yes, it was contrived, but IMO no more so than a lot of other films and TV shows. For some reason, it didn't provoke my eye-rolling twitch like season 1 of 24 did (another LA-based storyline involving coincidental passing of cars in the night).
Good Night and Good Luck was the other Best Picture nom that I've already seen. I still haven't seen Brokeback Mountain, nor Capote or Syriana (the other films high on my Must See Before Oscar Night list).

I love that Sleepless In Seattle trailer.

Okay, I took a look at the Oscar nominations and of any movie nominated for any category -- I have only seen three:
Batman Begins
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Pride and Prejudice
How is this possible? Notice how I haven't seen any of the best picture/best director/best actor/best supporting actor/best supporting actress nominations.
I really need to go to the movies more often.

How common is it for the Best Director and Best Picture noms to be completely identical?
Of the entire list, I've only seen Brokeback Mountain and Wallace and Gromit, I think. Oh, and March of the Penquins.

the sinister undertone when Amy's "imaginary" friend Irena appears.
And then doesn't it turn out that she's not actually malevolent? I saw it a couple of times, but it's been years. I remember it being almost Lynch-ian... not much happens, what does happen is ambiguous, and yet it's oddly fascinating.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I usually read this blog for the comics content, but this post makes me want to run and see both movies, even more than usual.
