I've been a terrible moviegoer this year. Haven't seen Inglourious Basterds. Haven't seen District 9. Haven't seen pretty much any acclaimed summer movie aside from Up. I have an excuse for this (i.e. I HAVE LITTLE MONEY), but it still leaves me feeling out of the loop. The ways to solve my dilemma are basically 1) Find a way to get paid to see what's out (not going to happen anytime soon), and 2) Wait until they come out on DVD (I'm a really impatient person in these manners).
The other option is to of course, spend money and see what I want to see. And I'm still yet to be convinced I want to spend my money on Basterds (although I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy it) or anything else. However, you can rest assured that I am going to spend money on A Serious Man... which looked awesome and apparently *is* awesome.
It played at the Toronto Film Festival yesterday, and people who are more fortunate than I am saw it, and liked it. And because these articles make me happy, I am going to link them to you, right here, right now.
Of course, all of this stuff probably isn't making you as elated as it is making me. But there's a solution to this. First, pretend that you are me and liked Barton Fink and even The Hudsucker Proxy and crap. Second, pretend to be excited. Now you sorta know how I'm feeling at the moment.
