She Could See From My Face...
Every awards season, the Cutthroats try to watch every movie that is up for Oscars and Golden Globes. I am loving the ability to knit and truck through these OnDemand movies at the same time. I am busy these days and I have to multitask as much as possible. Although, I haven't had the guts to knit during a movie at a movie theater yet. Watching some scenes in Black Swan, I wish I had. If I go see 127 Hours, I very well might. I forgot all about that story until I was reminded. Now, that will be the hardest one to get through. Knitting and watching something with subtitles is a bit challenging. While watching The American, I kept having to ask, "what did he say?" and "wait, what's going on?" I was annoying, more than normal. Also, I may have had to rewind a few workout scenes with Clooney. And, with all I have heard about Blue Valentine, I will not be knitting during it. Well, maybe if it is only the R version. No one wants the R version, give me the NC-17 version and you've got my attention. That's basically the only reason that I rented Lust, Caution. Artsy, award-winning, yada yada yada, and NC-17. Don't get me wrong here. I don't go out and rent adult movies. I just have to see what all the crazy is about when mainstream actors and actresses go for the NC-17 movie. You could put that rating on Toy Story 3 (which is on the AFI 2010 list, by the way) and I will watch it to see what in the hell Tom Hanks and Tim Allen could possibly be saying. The suspense would be too great. I once downloaded a terrible song- cough, James Blunt, cough-because I saw there was an explicit version. I had to know what could possibly be in the song to make it explicit. Now, it comes up on every random shuffle and I basically want to put a letter opener through my face after jumping in front of a bus. (See what I did there?) I guess this isn't making my case for seeing a movie simply for the curious angle.
