We (Guy and I) thought that movie was just okay. Not great, not terrible.

Well, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction are two of the movies that hit my
all-time-best-films list, but I haven't seen anything interesting from
him in a long time. However, we have it on DVD and may watch it today
before the ceremonies.

I don't get why everyone loved that one so much.

I also have A Serious Man on DVD, and have seen District 9 and the
Animated Shorts. I wish I'd made it to more of the films, but oh, well.

ObFood: I've decided to keep it simple. Guy has a favorite sandwich at
the Italian deli, so I'm picking up sandwiches and I'll also make some
sort of puff-pastry appetizer. I need to keep pork out of everything,
because the friend who is coming to join us doesn't eat pork.

So here's the menu, at the moment:

Popcorn and sodas for viewing time
Sandwiches and chips for lunch
SOMETHING for dinner; I'm heading off to Safeway now to see what kind of
inexpensive meat they may have, because my viewing companions are big
meat-eaters
