BRRRRRR

Cold, cold, cold ...

I had a nice weekend in NoHo, MA but it was -20 windchill and even more fun my car's heater wasn't working in the very cold weather ... which means my hands were getting cold and I had to wear my huge coat in the last part of the trip in Conn. on the Merritt Turnpike ...

Anyway, today it looks like NYC is finally getting some snow ... Lord of The Rings got 11 nominations and is a 1/3 London Fav. for Best Picture and Best Director ... Master and Commander got a solid second place of 10 noms.... [URL=http://oscars.com]Oscar Home Page[/URL]

I was also very happy the Keisha Castle-Hughes got an actress nod (at the very youngage of 13) for the quite wonderful Whale Rider ... I would have liked to see more noms for Big Fish and my favorite movie of the year, American Splendor but you can't win everything.

I do def. still want to see Master and Commander especially, and The Triplets of Belleville ... I am also v. interested in the Station Agent (did much better in SAG nominations), Mystic River, and in some ways Cold Mountain ...

I am one of the few people/critics who did not like "Lost in Translation" and almost think I wasn't in the right mindset for what I found a VERRRRYYY SLLLOOOWOOWW movie ... I suppose Bill Murray was good in it, but for me it was a look at my watch how much is left C- ...

I wish everyone well and bundling up is good ... ecq

I also have another blog on the 20th on me and Lanna's wedding site ...
