    Anyone else seen this? I'm pretty much sure this is my pick for Best Picture so far. The cast is pretty damn good. I am pretty hit and miss with Gus Van Sant (Last Days was probably the biggest pile of I've ever seen and Elephant wasn't much further behind but GWH was great) but I can't think of a single character in this movie that wasn't awesome.

    I know im aware of that but damn. Do you watch movies alone? I like to hit up the theatre right after work at 3 during the week when its not packed. I dont bother to ask anyone cause they will make you wait and blah blah blah. Do you guys have an indy theatre in San Anton?

    I saw this one last night and thought it was absolutely amazing. Really, really well done. And Sean Penn, who I usually think is a bit overrated, turns in an excellent performance.

    Dude, I don't go to the movies but a few times a year. I'm cheap like Joe Chalupa but smart like Mouse so I just download my . This time of year is the best because there are all kinds of screeners out for the awards shows and I can watch from the comfort of my couch and have 5.1 sound and excellent video quality so its LIKE i'm at the theater.

    I need to set up a file share with you, I always find the crappy screeners. Ok NOW this makes more sense. I was like no way someone goes to the theaters that much lol.

    We don't get very many shows here either. We do have a semi indie theater here that shows good stuff and do entaries but it doesn't show everything you'd want to see. I don't care about going to the movies on my own though. My problem is that my ADD kicks in like a mofo during movies so not being able to pause/rewind or flat out watch something again will mean I miss something.

    I have an Indy theater close by so I usually watch them there. Slumdog has sold out the last 3 weekends there. I am supposed to watch it tomm.

    You'll like it a lot. I watched it again a few days ago and I liked it just as much. There are very few movies I can watch more than once and still like them a lot.

    Not bad, not great. Pretty much a by the numbers biopic if you ask me. Van Sant made a much better movie this year in Paranoid Park.

    Artsy Gus Van Sant >>>>>> Mainstream Gus Van Sant

    So who did you enjoy more, Anton Chigurh or Milk?

    Thats a good question. I think both movies benefit from casts that fit together really well. Both characters are really really different though. I don't know. I'm not even sure which movie I liked more. I have no clue man, I liked both and liked both movies a lot. I'd be far more likely to rewatch Milk though.

    So Manny, who do you like for best actor for the Oscar?
    Sean Penn or Micky Rourke?

    I don't find the story compelling.
