This is a bit of an advertisement for a future blog post, really. On Saturday our local cinema is showing all 10 Best Picture Oscar nominees...in a row! Yes, it's a full 24 hours of cinema magic, and I'm going along (with several cushions and a six-pack of Red Bull). Whoever decided the programming has a sense of humour, as Toy Story 3 which kicks off proceedings at 10am is followed by 127 Hours, a true story about a guy who had to cut off his own arm.
If you combine that with Inception at 2am and the real possibility of drifting between sleep and consciousness during a film about dreams-within-dreams-within-dreams, and the $20 gift card they're giving everyone for popcorn and coke (both of which come with unlimited refills anyway)...it's going to be an interested day/night/day. It could also help with the jetlag our forthcoming trip to England promises. The only question is whether I'll be alive enough to watch the actual Oscar's ceremony that evening.
Who needs to do a triathlon? I bet you don't get free popcorn when you do that.
