I have a confession to make: I don't often go to the movies. I've always preferred the comfort of my own recliner, large screen TV and homemade popcorn to the spectacle of waiting in line for tickets....oh, wait. This year I discovered I didn't have to do that anymore, but could reserve a big cushy recliner and have actual movie popcorn and I WOULD LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER DAY.
So I ventured out to see Little Women, whose director was snubbed in the Oscar nomination round this year. I'm sure it had nothing to do with her gender, right? Because I dragged my husband to that movie despite him never having read the book and having no clue what was happening, I agreed to see 1917 with him as recompense.
I must say, that movie was a lot like a D&D adventure set in World War I. It was very good, but so incredibly intense. Also it could have used a bit more dialogue.
Anyway, that's Karoli's Great Movie Adventure of 2020. Now the films, performers, technicians, musicians and directors and producers are lining up with hopes of a lovely golden statuette for them tonight.
