Slumdog and zombies

Man, that might be my favorite headline from my blog of all time.

I went to see Slumdog Millionaire last weekend and I thoroughly recommend it. Oddly enough, it ends up being an interesting love story. A great movie. Will it win best picture? Not sure. I still need to see Benjamin Button, Frost/Nixon, and Doubt. I really don't think the other nominee has a chance.

So, yesterday, we aired this story about signs warning about "zombies ahead." It's gotten over half a million hits online. CNN, MSNBC, the Statesman and every other television news station Web site picked up our story. Pretty exciting. I'll be honest, the best part of our story has to be our sidebar with "zombie preparedness" instructions and such things of that nature.

I'm going to see a horror movie this weekend and I'm super excited about it. A buddy of mine from work said he'd go with me. I'm going to see The Uninvited. It looks terribly awful.

Benjamin Button is wonderful. It's the only one I've seen unfortunately. I really want to see Doubt too. You'll have to let me know if Uninvited is awful. I really hate getting excited over scary movies and then having them suck.

Doubt doesn't have much of a chance to win either because it's not nominated.

I downloaded The Reader and Doubt and Revolutionary Road and I'm downloading Milk right now in order to be an informed Oscarer. So far I've watched Revolutionary Road. Very depressing yet a very good picture of American life in the 50s. This actor named Michael Shannon is nominated for Supporting Actor for RR and he should really win it. He stole scenes from Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Yes, *stole* them from them.

OO, I love when main actors get blindsided. You don't think that Heath Ledger will win for supporting?
