24 Oct 2007Like Jason Kottke says, it's like "The Omnivore's Dilemma: The Movie". Looks good.

23 May 2007(Warning! Spoilers!) "I do think the Sandman didn’t open his mind to lot of options that became available to him when he got particle-ized. ... Considering his strength and versatility, I bet any construction firm would have hired him in a flash."

In 2006, I hardly did any better than the year before. I've hardly seen any of the Oscar-nominated movies.
Category # seen Best Picture 1 Best Actor 0 Best Actress 0 Best Director 0 Best Screenplay 1 Best Adapted Screenplay 0 The Departed, The Queen, and Children of Men are all still very high on my "to-see" list. Those three alone would push my combined total up to 9. The AP contrasts this year's Best Picture nominee field with last years -- they claim that there's no immediate widely-accepted favorite. (Of course, last year's favorite didn't win..)
Update 26 Feb: For the first time since 2003, I saw the winner of the Oscar for Best Picture (The Departed) in a first-run theater before the night of the awards. That was the only additional top-award nominee I saw, but it brought my total up to six. The only other award winner I've seen is An Inconvenient Truth, which I coincidentally saw just this weekend.

I apparently haven't seen enough movies this year. Of the top categories of 2006 Academy Awards nominees, I've seen:
Category # seen Best Picture 0 Best Actor 0 Best Actress 0 Best Director 0 Best Screenplay 0 Best Adapted Screenplay 1 I've got five weeks. I wonder how much I can improve those numbers.
Update, 6 Mar - I saw only a single additional top-Oscar-nominated movie in the five weeks since this post was made: Match Point, nominated for Best Screenplay. Out of the Oscar winners for all of the categories, I saw only two: The Constant Gardener (Rachel Weisz won Best Supporting Actress) and Wallace and Gromit (Best Animated Film)

Precritic update: Batman Begins has 83% on the Tomatometer. If we had used my fancy scoring for our guesses, Nomad would get 2 points, and Manish would get 1. Chris and I were way too pessimistic.
Time to play again! Fantastic 4: the Tomatometer is here, for reference. The movie comes out Friday 8 July, and scoring will be done about 2 weeks later.
