I've made this sortof list twice now, and each time it's been in a desperate effort to make me look forward to movies again.
This time is no exception.
February 27, 2004 • Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights
March 19, 2004 • Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind • Jersey Girl
April 2, 2004 • Hellboy
April 9, 2004 • The Alamo • Ella Enchanted
Not really a lot -- and most of that fails to thoroughly excite me. Except for Dirty Dancing 2. That's just gonna rock.
In related news, I'm considering, for the eighth year in a row, attempting to wake up and watch tomorrow's live broadcast of the Oscar nominations. I will not be surprised, however, if this is the eighth straight year I fail to wake up at 5:30 AM. I'm tempted to figure out the alarm clock feature on my TV, but this may be too much effort.
And no, I can't TiVo it. It just isn't the same.
What's sad, though, is that I don't really care. The only things I desire are Finding Nemo to be nominated for Best Picture and Return of the King to win it. Otherwise, there's nothing I'm really passionate about. I was pretty much happy with the Golden Globes results -- I woulda preferred to see Six Feet Under win for drama series, but even then... I just don't care too much.
