After seeing four of the five movies nominated for best picture last year (I have no interest in seeing Atonement, although I thought I did until I saw the trailer), I would probably place them in this order, best to worst: Michael Clayton, No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, Atonement, Juno.

I tried to rent Gandhi on [info]kmattoo's advice, but my video store had their copy stolen like eight months ago or something. Seriously, what up TLA? Also, all the DVDs I rent are scratched and make my DVD player want to barf. I'm thinking about going back to Netflix, but I don't know. Having to wait for the mail could just never scratch my immediate gratification itch.

I also saw Adaptation. yesterday. That screenplay is all kinds of smart.

Adaptation was all kinds of smart. <3 that shit.
Gandhi was great too, but requires a certain level of patience to truly appreciate while watching, and digest afterwards.

Haven't scoped any of the nominnees this year but will probably do so in the order you've listed, so thanks for the heads up!

They've been adding a LOT more "watch it now" stuff on Netflix too.

Yeah, but there's no way I'm watching a movie on my computer. I just can't get down with that.

You could run it from there to your tv maybe. I've never bothered, but a few of my friends do it.

I wonder if that's doable with my 1860s era television. Hmm.
