Saturday Morning Launch

"I wish I could quit you!" (say it with a twang)

Welcome to our world, everyone. Just wiping the eyes of last night's debauchery, and trying to figure out what movies to see this weekend. "Brokeback Mountain" is of course staring us down like a two-ton behemoth, DEMANDING to be seen. My dear husband and I really hate this kind of film-going "peer-pressure," but I personally also hate to be fumbling around in the dark on Oscar night, having missed out on any of the major nominees. Kate has already shared with me her unexpectedly COOL reaction to Ang Lee's alleged masterpiece, and quiet honestly, I almost puked when I first saw the trailor a few months ago. But who am I to pass up an opportunity to hop on the bandwagon of another rising Aussie star (see all future posts relating to our hero, Russell Crowe)??

So I am sure we'll break down and see it, if not this weekend, then certainly before the awards. Other contenders for the weekend are Munich, Match Point and Breakfast on Pluto. I am inclined to want to see the latter, because it's chock full of some of my favorite Irish actors.

Currently on-deck at home courtesy of Netflix (who couldn't devote an entire post to the genius of that operation?) is "Shattered Glass," from '03. I am anxious to see if Hayden Christensen can actually act. And of course, Peter Sarsgaard is one babe-ish babe, and a great actor, to boot.

I guess it's time to get cleaned up and get started!
