2008 was a shity year

Well, for me it was.
Of the 34 films nominated for an Oscar this year I've only seen 15 of them.
13 of them were never shown on any movie screen within a 100 mile radius of where I live, probably longer, since the next biggest city is over 2 hours away.
This is the first time in a very long time that I have not seen all or most the Best Picture nominees at the theatre before The Oscars. But alas my weekends of late have been filled with other obligations. When was I going to get the the theatre at 10:30 at night to see 'The Reader' for it's only showing before it left?
Films like 'Milk,' 'Frost/Nixon,' and 'The Reader' did not show for more than two weeks. Sadly, it seems I have even less time to sit at home to watch movies I rented on DVD.
Woeisme.
There has got to be a better way.
It seems someone I know is not interested in going to the movies as much any more.
I may just have to watch them alone, I watch all my favorite TV shows alone, why not my movies as well.
nobody is reading this stuff anyway, but me, so what the hell ...
