Maybe we've seen the real deal in the birth room - I just can't watch too much of it. Of course I have been watching Lost, so go figure...But I started watching Slumdog Millionaire on cable a month or so ago and had to turn it off. Between the subtitles and the torture I just couldn't watch that intently!<br /><br />I probably won't get around to the Tarantino, it's just a wish list, because I like the idea of a Tarantino/Pitt combo. I never saw Kill Bill. But I'm OK with that. I just don't feel the pressure of having to know what's the flick of the moment anymore. The pop culture queen is taking a rest. Or changing the channel.<br /><br />Lucy loves movies and TV, always has. She was in love with Shrek before she could talk. Going to the movies was a big (and rare) deal for us growing up. Nowadays kids sees tons of stuff via cable and dvd. It's a very different, media-saturated world.<br /><br />As much as I get tired of the kid TV sometimes, I think my non-kid-having friends don't know hat they;re missing, too. Oswald and Angelina Ballerina and Curious George and Thomas are quite charming.xoxoxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11993751439653647136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808487949051617772.post-31779672057833677902010-03-09T09:27:07.455-05:002010-03-09T09:27:07.455-05:00I think my experience of the Oscars was very simil...I think my experience of the Oscars was very similar to yours except that I missed the red carpet and the opening of the show because of ABC's dispute with Cablevision. Maybe because I had resigned myself to not watching the Oscars this year and missed the beginning, I had trouble getting into it this year. It didn't help that I had seen only one of the nominated films Bright Star which was up for best costume design. <br /><br />I'm no where near the point yet where I could take the little one to the cinema. She has really just started to watch movies. She picked "Cars" out of her videos last week and actually watched the whole thing very intently and has now seen it several times. I haven't really pushed for movies yet. My brothers have given us stuff their kids have outgrown or movies they have extra of. My older brother's kid are so much older that they watched everything on video! It's funny because we have movies like Pinocchio and Bambi waiting to be watched, but I hesitate to show them to her. Bambi made me cry hysterically and Pinocchio is scary too. I remember my niece, who is now in her second year of college, telling me I may want to cover my eyes because the whale was going to eat Pinocchio but it would be okay. Disney movies are just scary.<br /><br />I guess I've never had much of a tolerance for violence which is part of the reason that even on a good year I miss a bunch of Oscar movies. My to see list is similar to yours except I don't know if I can handle The Hurt Locker or Inglorious Basterds. I love Quentin Tarantino, I just can't watch his films. <br /><br />I always say next year I'll see all the films and maybe someday I'll even go to an Oscar party with ballots and alcoholic beverages again. For now it's a DVD here and some Hulu there when I'm not watching Thomas the Tank Engine or Dora. No complaints though.janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08542062911686256976noreply@blogger.com
