I saw Spy, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, The Big Short, and Spotlight. I only see movies that have an s word in the title and have an 88% or better on RT.

Time to see Sicario then.

I guess I have to see Bridge of Spies and Son of Saul as well. Straight Outta Compton ain't happening, the Dee Barnes omission was a deal breaker in my estimation. Thank God Spectre and Steve Jobs didn't make the cut.

And the shorts

I should see everything before the Oscars except for Embrace Of The Serpent, World, Mustang, Theeb, A War, Extinction and Fifty Shades of Grey, though there is a small chance that I can catch A War.

Why won't you see Fifty Shades of Grey? If it's because you have no interest (which I totally understand) you should say so. For now it looks like you are inexplicably incapable of turning on HBO.

well SOMEONE is a voyeur...

As a matter of fact, I am incapable of turning on HBO. Ever noticed where I live?

That aside, though, I am simply not interested.

Yeah, I have HBO and I'm not watching 50 Shades. I have no need to check off EVERY single film nominated, just the important ones.

I was just wondering if he wanted to watch it and couldn't.

Now it's

Boy and the World
Racing Extinction
The Hunting Ground
Embrace Of The Serpent
Mustang
Theeb
A War
Fifty Shades of Grey
Amy
What Happened, Miss Simone?
Ukraine

And the shorts

I just watched World of Tomorrow. Very charming and well-made. It's winning Best Animated Short.

I'm hoping to watch Amy and What Happened, Miss Simone? next week.
