It's the climactic scene of one of the year's best pictures, maybe one of the best pictures ever.

Sure you want the ending spoiled?

Yeah. I keep getting those lyrics stuck in my head. You know the ones I'm talking about.

well, I guess I already know it's a closing line so the significance will be revealed to me before that moment unless it's a grand surrealist nonsequetor, in which case I'll be waiting for that

Hmm. I always heard that my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard and they're, like, it's better than yours...

Saw Juno the other night in my hotel room, which completes my Best Picture dance card for this year. I liked it more than I expected I would. Well observed, touching, etc. Of the five, I'd say it did its job best with no obvious clanks, confusing narratives, bad performances or scenes that just didn't work. My one complaint was being hit over the head with quirky songs in every single scene. It started to feel a little lazy.

Finally checked Netflix streaming video out. Connected the laptop to the TV. Gotta say I'm impressed. Watched Reefer Madness, and then a bit of Fifth Element to see what the picture would be like. Can't complain. No issues with the streaming, and the picture was definitely not as good as even our standard DVD, but it was pretty damned good. I'd watch movies like that.

Dude, remember when I put the wrong gas in your car? Don't stream crappyvision onto the 1080p, 50 inch, high performance machine in our living room. I don't want it to start leaking oil on the rug.

I used Netflix streaming to watch several of the late released Oscar nominees and it is certainly good enough.

Especially when it occurred to me that the picture quality on my 21-inch widescreen LCD monitor was much superior to the VHS tapes I watched on my 19" TV back in college and had no problem with.
