For those who use netflix, but only have a limited number of rentals out at one time, you can't get everything this way, but the "Watch Instantly" capability can be quite helpful. I currently have Julia, Il Divo and Paris 36 on my instant queue list, so if you haven't seen those, you can now.

Yes, exactly, take it like an inoculation, a vaccine - it may be painful, but then you will be immune for a while, and any movie, in comparison, will seem to be a masterpiece.

I forced myself to see it, Damien.
If I could do it, you could do it too!
But then again, I love goddamn cartoons so maybe you shouldn't be listening to me.

Don't, Damien. Save yourself the money and your time. It's beyond terrible. It's a racist, insulting, torrid little film.

Thanks for this. I've put it in the queue, and may now have a fairly informed view of the category.

Yes, Paris 36 is on DVD - it was released last August. Coco Before Chanel is released on the 16th.

It's going to be one of my bad years, esp. compared to last, where multiply-nominated films and DVD releases made it easy to catch the stragglers. This year there are too many widows and orphans, and late releases.
Haven't seen Avatar yet, but that's just a scheduling thing. It'll happen in the next two weeks.
Have Il Divo at the top of the Netflix queue.
Can still catch The Lovely Bones, The White Ribbon, The Last Station and The Young Victoria without undue effort. The last might actually be one I go out of my way for, to get a better angle on the costume race (plus it checks off two other nominations).
I thought A Single Man would be easy, but it never played within two miles of me (in a city where we walk/subway everywhere), and now I fear its poor showing will lead to a quick departure.
No chance at all, till DVD release, of Dr. Parnassus or The Messenger (already departed my neighborhood), or The Princess and the Frog, Coco Before Chanel, Secret of the Kells. Is Paris 36 on DVD? Needless to say I wouldn't subject myself to Transformers 2.
Foreigns, docs and shorts are always a strain, though I do hope to get to White Ribbon, maybe even tomorrow.

The Last Truck: The Closing of a GM Plant is airing on HBO several times this month, starting on the 18th. Watch it, and then give Bognar's and Reichert's A Lion in the House a watch.

I'm going to watch The White Ribbon, A Prophet, Secret of Kells, and The Cove over the next few days.
I'm going to try and have seen all the nominees (except one*) before the show.
*I have zero interest in ever watching Transformers 2.
