[Prudence]

We saw Midnight in Paris and, while I adored the concept, I found many of the sequences where the whole modern group were talking to each other to be very high school theatre-esque in the delivery. I'm not sure I've ever actually seen a Woody Allen movie before (yes, I know), and I've not seen much with Owen Wilson either, so I'm not sure whether any of that was to be expected.

We tried to watch Tree of Life. After about 45 minutes of watching the director masturbate we turned it off. The volume was the single most annoying thing, I think. I have difficulty with loud noises, especially sudden loud noises. I can only imagine that the Oscar voters were experiencing an Emperor's New Clothes moment and assumed that because it was such a steaming pile of art school crap it must actually be deep and profound.
