This is the time of year when we usually dedicate ourselves to watching new movies to prepare for our annual Oscar weekend. But sadly, going to the theater still seems fraught and somehow less enjoyable than it once was.
I'm hopeful that sad situation will change, though, because watching the many nominees we have been able to in the comfort of our living room is just not the same as seeing them on the big screen. Maybe that's why in addition to watching 30-year-old Groundhog Day on Friday, last night we watched 27-year-old Titanic, which also holds up nicely.
In fact, the movie was way better than that dumb exhibit we went to today, which was just a big rip-off. The so-called "experience" ended up being a rehash of all the same old well-known stories and information, staged in an unfinished office space and organized around large-scale photos and second-rate artifacts, most of them from other ships. It was an enormous disappointment and a huge waste of time and money, just as I intuited back when I first heard of it.
