It's Oscar time again, and even though the Academy and our family have drastically different ideas as to what a quality movie consists of, I still get excited every year when the nominations come out. Lori and I used to go to movies all the time. When we first met, I was working as a movie salesman, and we would get invited to all the movie premieres and be totally up to date on all the Oscar contenders. I still couldn't predict the winners, but I could make very informed wrong guesses.
Nowadays our movie going is pretty much limited to when we're traveling. At home we're just too busy to take in many films, but we always try and catch up on our "must see" movies whenever we need a break while we're on the road. Of course we have to document everything...
No matter how silly we look doing it....
Sometimes we even take pictures of movies we're not going to see, just because it seems appropriate...
And sometimes we have to administer a little friendly persuasion to get our kids in the picture...
People wonder why we'd want to waste our vacation time doing something we could just as easily do at home, but for us it's our two hour downtime that lets us recharge and reset for the next adventure. Even if it's not helping me to pick the Oscar winners.
