The obligatory post-Oscar movie post

2008-02-25 | Filed under Movies |

Didn’t watch the Oscars. Somehow survived.

Did watch Spiderwick. As a matinée, with kids in the audience, which is the best way to watch a movie for kids. (Still no competition with the Shrek experience, when an adorable little girl sitting in front of us turned to her mother and whispered: “I know Shrek’s not real. It’s a costume.” But it was fun to hear the occasional aside clarifying some plot point from the books, or narrating what happened on screen.)

The New York Times has a cool infographic of box office receipts from the past 20-plus years. It’s a fun way to waste some of your valuable web surfing time.

    Just what I need. Another time-suck. Good thing I get paid a lousy wage or I might feel bad.
