But Vertigo isn't one of them. I'm fine with people loving it, but it just doesn't connect with me, and it isn't for lack of viewing. Over the years I've seen it at least a half-dozen times and I'm pretty sure I get what there is to get, I'm just not interested by it.

Same here.

I have watched it repeatedly and... nada. When I was living in the Central Coast and had visited San Francisco a number of times, I got a kick watching it for the locations. But other than that...



I have yet to see The Hurt Locker. But recently as mousepod had said all these best of 2009 nods has me curious about it.

Saw Up In The Air. Liked it a lot. I thought it was a great look at what some of "normal America" is like, which can be rare in movies. Clooney was great. It touched on some things that struck a chord for me personally, left me a bit melancholy.

Just the clips I've heard on NPR made me really sad and depressed, although I am sure Clooney is great in this. I can't quite make myself want to go see it, but I'll probably check it out when I can rent it.
