i must live under a rock

because i had never heard of this film until i watched a little bit of the golden globes a few weeks ago. and i hear it's garnered 10 academy award nominations today. what? where have i been...

i admit i don't go to the movies often. i like to wait for the movie to come out on dvd or on demand, that way i can watch it in the luxury of my own home. (read: on my comfy sofa, in my flannel pjs, with the ability to pause the movie for a restroom break.)

the artist is a silent movie (what? do they still make those?) in black and white. well, that's 2 strikes for me not to see it. i'm challenged by black and white movies and subtitles. i feel like i have to think more. i feel like i'm straining to watch the movie. does that happen to anyone else?

but then there's this guy. uggie.
i hear he steals the show. reason enough for me to see it. cuz as you all know, i love a cute dog.

how about you? how you seen the artist?
