Okay, so after four attempts at The Hurt Locker, I just couldn't do it. I got about halfway through. I just could not get through how slow it moved and really just not feeling the subject matter. Other than the extreme realism, I am not sure why it won Best Picture from the Academy. But then, it wasn't a great year for Best Picture nominees that year either.
Good news - almost ALL but about 6 Best Picture winners are now available on Netflix. Including Wings which is the very first winner that I was having a hard time finding. Yay.
I am taking a break from this project though at least for a week or so, as we are trying to catch up on FRINGE. We have six episodes left of season 2 before getting season 3 and then are only a couple episodes behind this season. With watching 4 episodes a night, we should push through this quite well. Its such an intriguing, well written show that makes you think while watching it. I enjoy having to engage my brain while watching television shows and films, instead of the inactive monotony of vegging out. This goes for all art forms really.
