The Movies!

[riari]

Not the game...unfortunately. :>

Anyways, today is March 7th. Today is nice. And you know why?

There are three movies being released today that I want. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Howl's Moving Castle, and Whisper of the Heart.

There had better be a paycheck waiting for me when I get into work today.

And speaking of movies, I watched the Oscars last night. (Last night, sunday, whatever.) Why? Well I watched them last year because I was curious and this year - for Jon Stewart! This was definitely a great Oscars and I laughed a lot.

The opening of previous hosts saying "no way!" was hilarious. Now, I did a lot of channel flipping like I did last year while watching the Oscars. Mainly because I don't like to watch people who give out their acceptance speech and are cut off by the orchestra... But I tried to watch a lot of it. The two acceptances I liked was when Wallace & Gromit won for best animated movie and the two guys came up and put matching bowties on their oscars, and when the March of the Penguins won for best documentary and they came up holding plush penguins! (Would you believe I just sat here trying to remember the word documentary for several minutes? I really hate it when my brain decides to not recall words for me. Need sleep apparently.) George Clooney's acceptance speech for best supporting actor was pretty good.

cleolinda has some great recaps of the Oscars at dailydigestnews along with video links.

ETA: OMG I can't spell. Yeesh. Time for bed I think.

ETA2: No paycheck. Well that just freaking figures. *sigh*

I didn't watch the Oscars, but then, I generally don't. I didn't even watch when LOTR was up for a bunch of things. Since the only movie I was even rooting for was Narnia, which only got three nominations (I'm glad it got something), that was even less of an incentive. In fact, I forgot it was even on until I saw the updates on IMDB of the winners.

I won't be getting HP until this weekend (not in that great of a hurry to see Emma Watson chewing up the scenery again); I haven't decided whether or not to get Howl's Moving Castle as I didn't care for the ending.

Yeah, the ending for Howl's isn't that great, but I liked the rest of the movie enough to get it. :>

Well, from the looks of it, I may not get any movies until this weekend or late this week. *curses lack of paycheck*

*has mental image of Emma Watson chewing on scenery* Hehehe.
