I'll have to go against the grain and declare unequivocally that Mad Max shouldn't win Best Picture. Anyone campaigning at its behest clearly has not seen any of the other contenders. My pick is still Spotlight. I have no idea how The Revenant won at the Golden Globes. It's a good film -- probably the most beautiful that I've seen this year -- but there are better ones out there like Room.
After the Golden Globes, I thought I'd be primed for a heated discussion about movies since I headed out to a birthday dinner that same evening. One of my friends is a movie nut. I can stand toe to toe when it comes to the intricacies of Academy Award history and various other aspects of the film industry. I'm usually the guy that always knows the name of actors on the tip of tongues. Browsing IMDB is a familiar past time.
This weekend is the first time that I get to stay home and relax. Nothing good in theaters. It's get tiring to go out every weekend. Sometimes, I don't want to do anything. Just leave me be! Thanks to some unfortunate circumstances in the world of MS, some discussion may be required to sort out future travel plans and liquidation strategies.
There's always something that needs attending. I eagerly await the day the world stops spinning.
