Sandra Bullock was in one of my favorite movies of all time, and thus she's on my A list. Sadly, I probably won't see either of her movies this year, even though one of them apparently doesn't totally suck.

And I probably won't see Avatar - on principle. Might get sucked into Sherlock Holmes, though.

Which one?
Just curious...

The Net?
Demolition Man?
Making Sandwiches?
Sh!t Floats?

Demolition Man!!!

Demo Man rocked!

And no Zombieland -- Bastards...

It is, indeed, Demolition Man. One of the highlights of my current employment was getting to see where they filmed the Taco Bell scenes.

I would have picked Zombieland over The Hangover.

It would be a tough thing but I think I'd take The Hangover by a hair over Zombieland. Zombieland deserves to be punished for undercutting itself at the end.

But take Zombieland over any of the other nominees I've seen.

And she was in my least favorite movie of all time, so she gets no passes from me!

Man, though, it's so weird to not have seen as many movies as we usually see by this point. It's been one of those years. We have some catching up to do, for certain. Of the released nominees, we've only seen...

Precious
Up in the Air
An Education
(500) Days of Summer
The Hangover
Julie & Julia
The Proposal
Duplicity
The Informant
Coraline
The Fantastic Mr. Fox
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Up
District 9
Where the Wild Things Are

We've usually seen twice that many nominees by mid-December. Oy, vey, January is going to hurt.

I've seen Up. That I haven't seen many movies this year is not necessarily unusual. What has changed is that I haven't even heard of many of them. Frankly, I put it down to the fact that we cancelled home delivery of our newspaper. It used to be easy on Wednesday or Friday to glance at the arts section and see what movies had come out that I probably wouldn't get to. I have not developed an online replacement for this behavior. I guess I need to.

I'm probably also behind on who's dead.
