So far, I've watched 3 of the 9 movies nominated for 2012 best picture.
The Tree of Life
Hugo
Midnight in Paris
I thought Midnight in Paris was boring. It might have a niche that liked it, but I wasn't included in it. So far 3 of 3 that I would not have wanted to see win the best picture.
Yawn.

Sorry, they don't count if you didn't watch them on VHS.
Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.

This is not really on topic - One thing my wife and I run into - we will have the daughters in for a movie night - playing an older movie that we saw "back in the day" and remember as a "good movie". We hype it up and then when we watch, we are appalled by the language or certain scenes. When I say appalled, I mean you don't watch it with your daughters. I guess it is just selective memory.

Cool story, Ken.
Over the weekend, showed my 6 year old his first Star Trek movie. Went with IV, figuring it'd not be too violent/scary - KHAAAN! will have to come later. Also, I didn't want to subject him to the boredom of, say, I or V. I also hoped he'd find the whales interesting.
Fail. Overall, he found it boring - he's too used to the faster pacing of the PIXAR and Dreamworks animated films. Also, I remembered that the movie had a few "colorful metaphors", but I didn't remember how many.
He did laugh when the harpoon hit the Klingon ship. And, he's curious to see a Next Generation movie, since he has a Geordi La Forge action figure. Hmm. Both my kids loved ST IV when we all watched it last year. I can't get them to sit down for even one episode of TNG though. Not enough space action, I guess. They're both complete Star Wars addicts.

I'm getting ready to watch the 2011 version of The Thing. I loved the other 2 versions. I can't wait to see how appealing this one turns out.

Those things that crawled into their brains scared the you-know-what outta me in "The Wrath of Khan."

The Thing 2011. Good movie. I liked it about the same as the 1981 version.

TNG: JP, don't show your son the episode "Night Terrors."
It's actually pretty freaky.
